Driven Vehicle Movement

We have your details and your quote is saved.
We review the job Registration, both postcodes and your dates.
We call you back Usually within the hour during working hours.
You decide Book the driver if it suits you. No obligation.
Outer London streets and controlled parking leave nowhere for a transporter to stop, which is exactly why a single driven car works so well here. We plan each job from our Glasgow office as one movement between two postcodes, and you can price it online in moments.
Around Orpington on the A224, the A232 and the M25
Longer drives leave Orpington via junction 4 of the M25 along the A224, the Cray Valley road that also runs into Bromley. The A232 crosses the town between Croydon and Sevenoaks, and the A21 passes close by at Locksbottom. Outer London traffic is unpredictable, so we agree a date you can keep rather than promising a same day slot.
The High Street and the Station Road approach are tight, and a unit in Cray Valley or near Nugent is a very different stop from a close in Goddington or Crofton. With controlled parking across much of the area, please tell us where the driver can legally stop and who will be at the door.
Orpington station has Southeastern services into London Bridge and Victoria, with Petts Wood and Chelsfield nearby. We choose whichever suits the drop when planning how our driver gets home.
Short hops to Petts Wood, St Mary Cray and Swanley
Collecting in Petts Wood and delivering to Orpington is one job, and so is collecting in Orpington and delivering to Glasgow. St Mary Cray, Chelsfield, Farnborough, Bromley and Swanley are all close neighbours.
If the car is really in BR5 or BR2 rather than BR6, or in Farnborough village or Swanley, put that on the booking. It keeps the driver off the wrong side of the borough.
Auction collections from Lingfield, Maidstone and Paddock Wood
There is no auction site in Orpington, so local buyers usually collect from Central Car Auctions Lingfield in Surrey, or from Wilsons Auctions Maidstone and BCA Paddock Wood in Kent. We also collect from BCA Crawley and BCA Enfield in north London.
Our driver brings the lot back along the M25 or the A21 once the auction has confirmed release. Take a look at how we collect released lots. Anything sold as salvage has to travel on a transporter instead.
Dealer transfers and Cray Valley fleet vans
A typical Orpington booking is a Bromley independent sending a car to a group site in Croydon or Maidstone, or a part exchange heading to BCA Paddock Wood once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off units in Cray Valley, and each one needs a valid MOT before we can take it.
If you have promised a customer in Goddington a delivery to their door, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer to park on a busy road. Our guide to dealer deliveries explains the handover.
A gated drive with nobody to open it wastes everyone's time, so add a working contact and any parking notes to the booking.
Booking a BR6 movement with OVM
A valid MOT where required and a roadworthy, road legal vehicle are the only conditions. Cars, light vans and EVs are all fine, though HGVs are not. Photos and condition are recorded first, the receiver signs at handover and our motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle throughout. If trade plates are not the right fit for a job, we will tell you. For background, see what a driven trade plate movement is and how OVM covers the UK.

0141 459 1302Which Orpington postcodes do you cover?
Every district in and around Orpington, including BR6 and BR8. If yours is not on that list it is almost certainly still covered, because we work right across Greater London.
Do you cover the areas around Orpington?
Yes. A driver working Orpington also covers Swanley, Welling, Catford, Plumstead and Sevenoaks. Collection and delivery can be at either end of the same job.
How quickly can you get a driver to Orpington?
It depends on where the driver is finishing their previous job. Orpington is served by Albany Park, Bexley and Bickley, 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.
