Trade plate vehicle movements in Winchester and mid Hampshire

Junctions 9, 10 and 11 of the M3 into Winchester

Most long runs reach the city from junctions 9 to 11 of the M3. Junction 9 is the A34 split towards Newbury, junction 10 brings you in at Bar End close to the centre and junction 11 serves St Cross and the south. The A33 links Basingstoke and Southampton and the A272 heads west.

Queues at junction 9 or a market day in the centre can slow the final stretch, so we agree timings with you rather than promise a same day slot. Shawford, Kings Worthy, Alresford, Eastleigh, Romsey and Southampton are close by, but each is its own place, so tell us exactly where the car is.

Local moves are as welcome as long runs. Collecting at Winnall and delivering in Weeke is one job, and so is collecting in Winchester and delivering to Glasgow. After a one way delivery our driver heads home from Winchester station on the main line, or from Shawford if the drop was in the village.

Auction collections from BCA Camberley, Westbury and Crawley

There is no auction compound in Winchester, so most local buyers collect from BCA Camberley up the M3. BCA Westbury is the option to the west and BCA Crawley to the east. You can collect from BCA Camberley after release and our driver will bring the car back down to Hampshire.

We confirm the release with the auction you name before anyone sets off, so there is no wasted trip to the gate. Find out more about collecting from auction. Please note that salvage vehicles need a transporter, not a driver.

Basingstoke is a separate town further up the M3. If your car is going to or from the coast, see our page on vehicle movements in Southampton.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans from Winnall and Bar End

A typical Winchester booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Southampton or Basingstoke, or a part exchange going to BCA Camberley once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Winnall, Bar End and the SO23 estates, and each one needs a valid MOT.

If you have promised a customer in Weeke or off Stockbridge Road a delivery to their door, our driver arrives in the car itself rather than with a trailer on the High Street. We explain the process on our dealer delivery page. As we move one vehicle at a time, nothing waits for a transporter to fill its deck.

Collections around the Close, Jewry Street and the High Street

The High Street, Jewry Street and the lanes around the Close are tight, which is exactly where a driven car beats a transporter. We still need a spot where the driver can stop legally. Homes in Weeke, Harestock or Badger Farm are usually straightforward, and SO22 is not SO23, so the full postcode helps.

Units at Winnall and Bar End often have a barrier and a site manager, so please add the gate code and a named contact. On a short hop from Winnall to Weeke or a long run north, the paperwork is identical: condition and photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking an SO postcode movement with OVM

Your vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. The trade plates come with our driver, and our motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle until the receiver signs.
