Trade plate vehicle delivery for dealers

A transporter is the right product when the vehicle cannot legally be driven, or when you have enough units going the same way on a flexible date that a loaded deck is the honest tool.

No MOT. Non-runner. Salvage. Write-off that cannot go on the public road. A line of cars that are not urgent and are heading the same way. That is not a plates job with extra care. It is a different method.

We will say so. We would rather refuse than send a driver to a car that will not start, or to a compound that will not release it onto the road.

If you are still weighing the two methods, read the comparison guide. This page will not repeat that table. It will only tell you what you are buying if you stay here.

A driver we have put on the job, not a marketplace listing. Booking, tracking and close in software we run. Trade plates on a roadworthy car or van. Road risk on the movement. Photographs, mileage and a signature. Digital proof when the job closes.

Fuel is charged separately. There is no rate card here. Distance, vehicle, timing and what has to happen at each end change the figure. Auction gates and retail walkarounds are not priced as if they were a key-swap on a dealer compound.

The operational meaning of driven rather than loaded is on what a driven trade plate vehicle movement actually is. The proof walk-through is on vehicle collection and delivery with POC and POD. Auction-specific release and storage is on auction collection after release. Dealer-specific site versus door is on site transfers and retail handovers.

Use those pages. Do not mash them into this one.

Trade plate delivery is the same product as trade plate vehicle movements. A driver, trade plates, a legal car or van, two postcodes. Dealers use it for auction collection, dealer-to-dealer and retail handover when the unit can leave as a car. Not for salvage. Not for units with no MOT.

The operational page is what a driven trade plate vehicle movement actually is. Cost of the driven job: what trade plate delivery costs. Auction lots after release: auction collection after release.

It does not depend on a town being listed. Coverage is nationwide from the Glasgow office, as a postcode pair.

It does not depend on you having an account. Quote with the registration and both postcodes.

It does not depend on us pretending to be a transporter on Fridays. We are not a transporter on any day.

It does depend on the vehicle being legal to drive. Release has to be real where a third party holds the keys. A person at each end has to know we are coming.

If this is the right product, use the instant quote on this page. Date required, name, company, phone, email. Most quotes come back within the hour during working hours. The office is in Glasgow.

If this is not the right product, call 0141 459 1302 and say so. We will tell you to use a transporter rather than take a booking we cannot complete.

Email [email protected] for planned, non-urgent work. Use the phone if the car is already costing you storage or a customer is waiting.

This product covers both. They are not the same booking.

Stock between your roofs is a site transfer. A named buyer at a house is a retail handover. Put which on the quote. The dealer page is site transfers and retail handovers.

An auction lot is this product only after the site confirms release.

A hammer price is not collection authority. auction collection after release is the compound version of this buy.

Trade plate vehicle delivery needs a valid MOT. No test, no driven job.

Same rule for a dealer hop as for a Nationwide run. Salvage stays on a truck.

The usual booking is one registration. A van is still one unit if it is legal to drive.

Height and weight belong on the quote. A high-roof is not a large car. Rigids are out.

Book a transporter when the vehicle cannot legally be driven, or when several units travel as one load on a flexible date.

This URL is the driven buy. The long choice is when a trade plate driver beats a transporter.
