Trade plate vehicle movements in Chichester, West Sussex

The A27, Terminus Road and the city precinct

The A27 runs east to Brighton and west towards Portsmouth, the A259 serves Bognor and Selsey, the A285 heads for Petworth and the A286 goes north to Midhurst. Closures at the Whyke roundabout can hold things up, so we agree a realistic date rather than promising a same day slot.

South Street, East Street and the streets inside the walls are tight, and festival weeks make the precinct busier still. If the car is on Terminus Road, Quarry Lane or Portfield, give us the barrier details and a named manager. For a house in Parklands or Summersdale, tell us where the driver can stop legally.

Collecting on Terminus Road and delivering in Summersdale is one job, and so is collecting in Chichester and delivering to Glasgow. Bognor Regis, Havant, Selsey, Fishbourne, Midhurst and Arundel are all close by.

Bognor, Selsey and Havant: check the postcode

PO19 is Chichester, PO21 is Bognor and PO9 is Havant, so the exact postcode makes a real difference. A car in Selsey or Fishbourne needs that place on the booking, along with the estate name, any barrier code and a contact.

Chichester station sits on the West Coastway line from Brighton towards Havant, with Fishbourne, Bosham and Nutbourne as separate stops nearby. We plan the most useful station for the driver's return after a one way delivery.

Auction collections from BCA Crawley and BCA Camberley

Chichester has no auction site, so local buyers usually collect from BCA Crawley to the east or BCA Camberley to the north. Central Car Auctions Lingfield is covered too if that is where you bought.

We confirm release with the auction before a driver sets off, so nobody waits at the gate. Everything you need to know is on our auction collection after release page. Trade plates do not cover salvage, so those lots need a transporter.

Cathedral city dealers moving stock to Crawley and Southampton

A typical Chichester booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Crawley or Southampton, a part exchange heading to Crawley once it is legal to drive or a fleet van leaving Terminus Road. Each vehicle travels alone, so it is never stuck waiting on the bypass.

If a customer in Whyke is expecting their car at the door, our driver hands it over in person, with no trailer in the street. Dealers in Chichester can read more about site transfers and retail handovers.

A short hop from Fishbourne gets the same paperwork as a long run north: photos at collection, a signed handover and proof of collection and delivery together in one email.

What we need to book your PO19 move

A driven move only works for a roadworthy vehicle that is legal on the road, with a valid MOT where required. From collection until it is signed for, the vehicle is covered by our motor trade road risk insurance, and salvage needs a transporter instead.
