Trade plate vehicle movements in Prestwick and South Ayrshire

The A78, the A79 and Prestwick Airport

The A78 runs along the coast between Irvine and Ayr, the A79 serves the town and the airport and the A77 heads inland to Kilmarnock. Being close to Glasgow does not make every job a same day job, so we agree a collection date that works for both ends.

Main Street and the roads down to the esplanade get busy in summer. Units on the airport industrial land or at Monkton usually have barriers and site rules, and anything inside the airport fence needs clear access instructions. Tell us who will meet the driver and where they can stop.

Prestwick Town and Prestwick International Airport are separate stations on the Ayr line, and we plan which one our driver uses after a one way delivery.

Monkton, Prestwick Toll and the rest of KA9

Prestwick sits between Troon to the north and Ayr to the south, and the town has several different last stretches. Monkton, the airport estate and the houses around Prestwick Toll all need the right postcode, and Mossblown is a village of its own. Put the exact address on the booking and the driver will go straight there.

Local hops are as welcome as long runs. Collecting in Monkton and delivering in Prestwick is one job, and collecting in Prestwick and delivering to Glasgow is another, with the same proof at both ends.

Auction lots from Wilsons Auctions Dalry and the Glasgow sites

There is no auction site in Prestwick, so local buyers often use Wilsons Auctions Dalry, a quick run up the A78. BCA Glasgow and Central Car Auctions Glasgow sit up the M77, BCA Bellshill is in Lanarkshire and Manheim Shotts lies further east.

However close the site, we confirm your lot has been released before a driver goes to the gate. Learn more about auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot be driven on trade plates and need a transporter.

For moves to or from a G postcode, see our Glasgow vehicle movements.

Ayrshire dealer transfers, part exchanges and airport fleet vans

Independents in Prestwick, Monkton and Troon often send a single car to a group site in Kilmarnock, Ayr or Glasgow. A driven movement takes it straight away rather than waiting for a transporter to fill its deck on the A78. Part exchanges can go to Dalry once they are legal to drive.

Fleet vans come off airport and Monkton units, and each needs a valid MOT before we take it. For a customer you have promised a door delivery, our driver arrives in the car itself and hands it over in person. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers.

A78 closures, airport traffic or a Troon collection booked as Prestwick can cost time, so double check the address. The paperwork is identical on a Monkton hop and a long run south: photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one emailed report.

Booking a KA9 movement with OVM

Every vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. The trade plates are ours, and our motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle from collection until it is signed for. Read about what a driven trade plate movement is and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.
