Trade Plate Vehicle Movements in Nottingham

Getting into Nottingham from the M1, the A52 and the A453

The M1 runs to the west of the city, so our drivers come in at junction 25 along the A52 or at junction 24 along the A453. The A60 heads north to Mansfield and the A606 runs out to Melton. A closure on the A52 by the QMC or a match at the City Ground can slow everything down, so we agree a realistic collection time rather than promising a same day slot.

Bridlesmith Gate, Mansfield Road and the streets around the Lace Market are tight, while a unit on Lenton Lane, Colwick or Blenheim often has a different NG postcode from the one people expect. A house in Mapperley or Wollaton needs its own address too, so give us the exact postcode and a named contact.

Nottingham station on the Midland Main Line gives our driver an easy way home after a one way delivery, and Beeston or Carlton can suit drops on either side of the city. We work out which is best when we plan the drive.

Collecting from BCA Nottingham at Colwick

BCA Nottingham sits in NG4 on the east side of the city, out towards Colwick and Netherfield rather than in the centre. It is easily confused with BCA Castle Donington, so please check which compound your paperwork names. A driver at Colwick holding Castle Donington paperwork cannot collect your car.

We confirm release with the site before a driver goes, photograph the car before it leaves the yard and send you both proofs once it is delivered. We also collect from BCA Castle Donington, Manheim Huthwaite near Mansfield and Manheim Shepshed. You can read about auction collections in more detail. Trade plates do not cover salvage, so those vehicles need to go on a truck.

Local runs to West Bridgford, Beeston and Arnold

Collecting at Lenton Lane and delivering to Mapperley is one job, and so is collecting in Nottingham and delivering to Glasgow. West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Carlton and Stapleford are all close neighbours.

If the car is in Eastwood or Ilkeston, use our Eastwood vehicle movements or Ilkeston vehicle movements pages so the booking starts with the right address.

Dealer transfers, auction lots and fleet vans across the city

A typical Nottingham booking is a group moving a car from a site in Lenton to a satellite in Arnold, or a lot leaving BCA Nottingham once it has been released. Fleet vans come off units at Blenheim and around NG2, and each one needs a valid MOT before we can take it.

If you have promised a customer in Mapperley a delivery to their door, our driver turns up in the car itself, with no trailer filling their street. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers, or read when a trade plate driver beats a transporter if you are weighing up the options.

How to book an NG movement

Our drivers can only take vehicles that are legal for the road, which means roadworthy and with a valid MOT where needed. If it is not legal for the road, it stays put. Photos and condition are recorded first, the receiver signs at handover and our motor trade road risk insurance covers the car throughout.
