Trade plate vehicle movements in Godalming and the Wey valley

Getting around Godalming: the A3, the A3100 and the River Wey

The A3100 runs north into Guildford, while longer drives join the A3 at the Milford junction rather than winding through village streets. The A283 heads towards Petworth and the A286 runs down to Haslemere. School traffic on the A3100 is a regular feature of the day, so we agree a realistic collection time rather than promising a same day slot.

The town centre around Church Street and the Burys is tight, with the river, the water meadows and the railway all squeezing the streets. That is exactly why a trailer on the High Street is the wrong tool and a driven car makes sense. Yards towards Catteshall and Woolsack Way usually have barriers, and hill streets up towards Holloway need somewhere legal to stop.

Farncombe, Binscombe, Holloway Hill and Catteshall each have their own last stretch, and Milford and Busbridge are villages in their own right. Share the exact postcode so the driver can head straight to the right door. Godalming and Farncombe stations both sit on the Portsmouth Direct line into Waterloo, which gives our driver an easy way home after a one way delivery.

Auction collections from BCA Camberley and beyond

There is no auction yard in Godalming, so local buyers usually collect from BCA Camberley via the A3 or A31. BCA Crawley sits to the east, Central Car Auctions Lingfield is near the Surrey and Sussex border and Wilsons Auctions Maidstone covers lots bought in Kent.

We confirm release with the auction before a driver is sent, so nobody arrives at a closed gate while storage charges build. Learn how auction collection after release works. Salvage vehicles need a transporter, as they cannot travel on trade plates.

Dealer transfers, lease returns and Farncombe handovers

The most common Godalming booking is an independent moving one car to a group site in Guildford or Woking. We also handle part exchanges heading to BCA Camberley once they are legal to drive, lease returns and fleet cars from GU7 addresses, each with a valid MOT.

If you have promised a customer in Farncombe or off Church Street that their car will arrive at the door, our driver turns up in it, with no trailer blocking a narrow street. Discover how we deal with site transfers and retail handovers.

Riverside streets, gated drives and an industrial yard at Catteshall all need different instructions, so please add a named contact to the booking.

Planning around A3 closures and the Wey bridges

When the A3 closes between Milford and Guildford, traffic pours through the town and over the Wey bridges. A car in Busbridge should not see a driver sent to Farncombe station first, and a lot at BCA Camberley should not start on Church Street, so the full address matters.

Settle on a date you can keep and we will arrange the drive around it. A short hop from Milford gets exactly the same care as a long run north: panels, notes and photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking a GU7 movement with OVM

Every vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required and keys that start it. From collection until the receiver signs, it is covered by our motor trade road risk insurance. Take a look at how driven trade plate movements work and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.

An instant quote needs only the registration, both postcodes and the date you have in mind. If you are planning ahead, email [email protected]. If the car needs to move soon, call us on 0141 459 1302.
