Trade plate vehicle movements in Crowborough and the High Weald

The A26, Ashdown Forest and the Weald villages

The A26 is the main road through town, and the A169 links across to the A22. Jarvis Brook, Steel Cross and Alderbrook each have their own last stretch, and a car in Rotherfield or Forest Row is not in Crowborough at all, so please give us the exact village and postcode.

Forest lanes can hide height barriers and gated drives need an intercom that works. The Beacon is a good landmark but not a collection address. Tell us the lane, the gate and the person meeting the driver, and remember that the run back up to the A26 is a steady climb, so the car needs enough fuel or charge for it.

Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield, Forest Row, Heathfield and East Grinstead are all close by. A Rotherfield collection with a Crowborough delivery is one job, and so is a Crowborough to Glasgow run. Crowborough station sits on the Oxted line towards London Bridge via Eridge, which gives our driver a way home after a one way delivery.

Collecting from BCA Crawley and Central Car Auctions Lingfield

There is no auction site in Crowborough. BCA Crawley is the nearest BCA, usually reached along the A264, and Central Car Auctions Lingfield is the closest independent house. BCA Paddock Wood and Wilsons Auctions Maidstone lie to the east if that is where you bought.

Crawley and Lingfield are separate sites with separate releases, so tell us which one your lot is at. We confirm release before a driver is sent, as with every auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot travel on trade plates.

Wealden dealer moves and doorstep handovers

A typical Crowborough booking is an independent sending a car to a Tunbridge Wells or Crawley group site, a part exchange heading to Lingfield once it is legal to drive, a lease return from a TN6 address or a customer in Jarvis Brook expecting a driver at the door.

A transporter filling a deck on the M23 wants several cars, and one car off a hill street in TN6 will not give it that. With a driver your car leaves on the day you choose. A forest lane and a High Street door need different directions, so add a named contact for each end. Our page on site transfers and retail handovers explains both.

Ice on the A26, forest traffic and gated drives

Winter ice on the A26, visitor traffic around Ashdown Forest and a gated drive where nobody answers are the usual reasons a Crowborough collection slips. If the car is in Jarvis Brook, the driver will not be sent to the Beacon first, and for a lot at BCA Crawley we confirm release before setting off.

Choose a date you can keep and make sure someone named can open the gate or hand over the keys. A short Forest Row hop gets the same treatment as a long run: photos and mileage at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking your Crowborough movement

The vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required, and our motor trade road risk insurance covers it from collection until it is signed for. If a driver is the wrong choice for the vehicle, we will tell you. Read more about driven trade plate vehicle movements and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.
