How trade plate drivers works
Insured on every movement
Drivers work under motor trade road risk while the vehicle is driven on our plates. That cover is in place for every job, not arranged per booking.
They do the paperwork
The appraisal, the photographs, the mileage reading and the signature are all captured by the driver on the device. There is nothing left for your team to chase afterwards.
Rail-connected returns
A one-way delivery means the driver travels back by train. We plan the return leg when the job is scheduled, so it does not tie up a second vehicle or delay the handover. Roadworthy cars and vans only, valid MOT. If it cannot legally be driven, a transporter is the right call.
What are trade plate drivers?
A driver who collects a roadworthy car or van and moves it on trade plates, door to door. OVM is a trade plate driver company. The work is nationwide. Valid MOT and drivable only. Digital proof of collection and proof of delivery on every job. It is not a loaded transporter.
Do you have a trade plate driver near me?
Coverage is nationwide. The office is 48 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 1BP. Send both postcodes and we quote the actual job. We do not publish a list of drivers by town.
Is this the page to apply as a driver?
No. This page is for booking a movement. If you want to drive for OVM, use the drive for us page.
Does the vehicle need a valid MOT?
Yes. Valid MOT and drivable only. If it cannot legally be driven, a transporter is the right tool and we will say so.
How do I get a quote?
Instant quote on this page, or call 0141 459 1302. Registration and both postcodes is usually enough. OVM Ltd, 48 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 1BP.
What do you need in order to quote?
The registration and the collection and delivery postcodes. Roughly when it needs to move as well. Named contacts at both ends help us avoid a wasted journey. Most quotes come back within the hour.
What does the price depend on?
The type of vehicle, how far it is going, how quickly you need it moved and what is needed at each end. A dealer-to-dealer transfer prices differently to a retail handover with paperwork to complete, so we quote every job individually rather than working from a rate card.
Is the vehicle insured while you have it?
Yes. Every vehicle we move under trade plates is covered by motor trade road risk while it is driven on our plates.
What proof do I get that the job was done properly?
Photographs of every panel, the mileage reading, condition notes and a signature, collected into the digital proof that is emailed to you when the vehicle is handed over.
Can you move a vehicle that is not roadworthy?
No. Every movement is driven, so the vehicle has to be roadworthy, taxed, insured for the movement and ready for the road. If it is not, a transporter is the right call and we will say so rather than send a driver to a job that cannot be completed.
Got a vehicle that needs moving?
Send the registration, both postcodes, the date required, a phone number and an email. We will reply with a price.
