Trade plate vehicle movements in Crawley and from BCA Crawley

Collecting your lot from BCA Crawley

BCA Crawley is right here in the town. Once your lot is released, we confirm it with the site, photograph the car before it leaves the yard and send proof of collection and proof of delivery together when the job is done.

Please have the release ready when you book, because a screenshot of the hammer price will not get a car through the gate, and storage charges keep running until it leaves. For the step by step process, see auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot be moved this way and need a transporter.

If you bought elsewhere, we also collect from Central Car Auctions Lingfield, BCA Camberley and BCA Paddock Wood. Just tell us which site, because each one has its own release.

Manor Royal, Three Bridges and the Crawley neighbourhoods

Manor Royal, County Oak and Lowfield Heath are industrial estates with barriers and site managers, so please put a named contact and any gate code on the booking. Queen's Square, the old High Street and the streets around Three Bridges are tight, and a retail handover there means a driver at the door rather than a trailer on double yellows.

Ifield, Bewbush, Broadfield and Pound Hill each have their own last stretch. If the car is really in Horley, or airside at Gatwick, say so on the booking, because airport security works differently from a street collection.

The A23 runs between London and Brighton, the A264 links Horsham and East Grinstead and the A2011 runs through the town. Collecting on Manor Royal and delivering in Broadfield is one job, and so is collecting in Crawley and delivering to Glasgow. Horley, East Grinstead, Horsham, Haywards Heath and Redhill are all close by.

Crawley dealers sending stock to Brighton and London

A typical Crawley booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Brighton or London, a lot leaving BCA Crawley for a dealer elsewhere in the country or a fleet van off Manor Royal. Each one travels on its own, so nothing waits for a transporter on the M23.

If a customer in Ifield has been promised their car at the door, our driver hands it over in person. Find out how we handle site transfers and retail handovers.

Planning around Gatwick and the M23

When the M23 closes near Gatwick, traffic pours onto the A23 and through the town. Telling us exactly where the car is, whether that is BCA Crawley, a house in Broadfield or a unit on Manor Royal, saves the driver a wasted trip across town.

Crawley, Three Bridges and Gatwick Airport are three separate stations, and we plan the right one for the driver's return after a one way delivery. A short hop from Three Bridges to Broadfield gets the same record as a long drive north: condition notes and photos before the drive, a signature at the door and one report in your inbox.

Booking an RH10 vehicle movement

Please make sure the car or van is roadworthy, legal to drive and has keys that start it, plus a valid MOT where one is required. Light vans are fine, but we do not move HGVs, and if a car is not roadworthy we will tell you a transporter is the better option. Our motor trade road risk insurance covers it from collection until it is signed for, and fuel or charging is included.
