Kendal sits on the River Kent in Westmorland, with the A591 heading for the lakes, the A6 running north and south and the M6 to the east at junctions 36 and 37. Booking works just as it does anywhere else, quoted from our Glasgow office as one driven movement.
The A591, the A6 and the Kendal one way system
The A591 runs to Windermere, the A6 heads north over Shap and south to Lancaster, and the A65 is the Kirkby Lonsdale road. Our long runs leave by junction 36 or 37 of the M6. Bank holiday traffic towards Windermere fills the A591, so we build that into the date.
The town centre is a tight one way system around the Kent. The estates at Mintsfeet and along Shap Road have barriers, and a yard off Highgate needs a legal place to stop. Burneside and Oxenholme are separate places, so tell us exactly where the car is.
Collecting in Burneside and delivering in Kendal is one job, and so is Kendal to Glasgow. Windermere, Kirkby Lonsdale and Lancaster are close by, and if the other end is further up the M6, see trade plate vehicle movements in Penrith.
Auction collections from BCA Preston
There is no auction in Kendal or Penrith, so most local buyers collect from BCA Preston, a straightforward run down the M6. Manheim Haydock lies further south and BCA Carrington is the Greater Manchester option.
We confirm the release with Preston, or whichever site you name, before a driver is sent. Our auction collection after release page covers how a Preston pickup is arranged. Salvage lots from Preston need a transporter rather than trade plates.
Moving stock for Westmorland dealers
Kendal dealers regularly send cars to group sites in Lancaster, Preston and Carlisle. Part exchanges go to Preston once they are legal. Fleet vans leave units on Shap Road with a valid MOT, each moved on its own rather than waiting for a transporter.
For a customer near Mintsfeet or in the one way streets off Stricklandgate, our driver arrives in the car itself, so there is no trailer stuck on Kirkland. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers, and include a named contact for any industrial park near the M6.
Kendal or Oxenholme: picking the right station
Kendal station is on the Windermere branch, while Oxenholme Lake District sits east of the town on the West Coast Main Line. We work out which one our driver needs after a one way delivery, and if your collection is at Oxenholme, please say so on the booking.
Closures on the A591 towards Windermere and queues at junction 36 are the usual hold ups. Pick a date you can keep, and you will get photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email, even on a hop from Burneside.
Booking an LA9 movement with OVM
Cars and light vans need a valid MOT where one is required and must be legal to drive. We cannot take HGVs or rigids. Our motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle from collection until it is signed for. Learn how driven trade plate movements work and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow, Westmorland included.

Common questions
If your question is not here, call the Glasgow office and we will answer it on the spot.
0141 459 1302Which Kendal postcodes do you cover?
Every district in and around Kendal, including LA9, LA10, LA11 and LA23. If yours is not on that list it is almost certainly still covered, because we work right across Westmorland and Furness.
Do you cover the areas around Kendal?
Yes. A driver working Kendal also covers Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere, Sedbergh, Grange-over-Sands and Ulverston. Collection and delivery can be at either end of the same job.
How quickly can you get a driver to Kendal?
It depends on where the driver is finishing their previous job. Kendal is served by Burneside, Kendal and Oxenholme Lake District, which is how our drivers travel in for a collection or get home after a one-way delivery. Decent rail access usually means a quicker turnaround.
