## How It Works
1. Quote — Tell us the vehicle, collection postcode, delivery postcode, and any access or timing constraints. We come back with a fixed, all-in quote within 24 hours.
2. Booking — Once the quote is accepted and payment confirmed, we allocate the job to an insured transport provider in our network suited to the vehicle and route.
3. Collection — The carrier arrives at the agreed window. A condition report with photos is completed at collection.
4. Delivery — The vehicle is delivered to the destination, a second condition check is performed, and a signed delivery note is handed over.

## Services

### Enclosed Vehicle Transport
Fully covered, hard-sided trailer transport for high-value, classic, prestige, modified, and mileage-sensitive vehicles. The vehicle is protected from weather, road debris, and public view from collection to delivery. Loading uses liftgates or low-angle ramps — no scraping, no chassis tie-downs. Suited to:
- Classic and vintage cars (original paint, fragile trim)
- Prestige and supercars (Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, Aston Martin, Bentley, Lamborghini, etc.)
- Modified vehicles (lowered ride height, custom paint, wide body, non-standard dimensions)
- Mileage-sensitive cars (low-mileage originals, concours entries, lease vehicles near the mileage cap, limited editions)
- Non-runners (vehicles that don't start or roll)
- Show and concours entries

### Open Vehicle Transport
Multi-car, open-deck trailer transport — the most common and cost-effective way to move a standard vehicle by road. Vehicles are strapped down at the wheels with soft ties and ride in the open air, visible in transit. Suited to:
- Standard road cars and daily drivers
- Dealer stock transfers, part-exchanges, auction collections
- Fleet vehicles, lease returns, rental-to-dealer movements
- Short-distance moves where exposure time is limited
- Cost-sensitive jobs where the vehicle's value doesn't justify the enclosed premium

### Trade Plate Delivery
A qualified driver collects the vehicle and drives it to its destination using temporary DVLA-issued trade plates. No trailer, no loading — just a direct route. The vehicle must be roadworthy, start, steer, brake, and have a valid MOT. Suited to:
- Dealer-to-dealer transfers
- Auction collection (BCA, Manheim, independents)
- Private sale delivery
- Courtesy or replacement car repositioning
- Service and MOT runs
Mileage is added to the odometer — not suitable for mileage-sensitive cars.

### Non-Runner Collection
Specialist handling for vehicles that don't start, don't roll, or need winching, push-loading, or low-clearance access. Enclosed rigs with liftgates and wheel skates are typically best equipped for this.

### Mileage-Sensitive Vehicle Transport
Enclosed transport for vehicles where every mile on the odometer directly affects value: low-mileage classics, concours entries, limited editions, lease vehicles near their mileage cap. The vehicle is trailered, not driven, so zero miles are added.

### Event & Show Logistics
Timed delivery and return of vehicles to concours events, car shows, auctions, track days, filming locations, museums, and private viewings. Coordinated to the event schedule.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How much does enclosed transport cost compared with open transport?
Cost depends on distance, vehicle dimensions, route availability, and timing. Every job is different — vehicle size, access, timing, and route all affect the final price. Open transport is generally the more affordable option thanks to higher load capacity per trailer, but the exact saving over enclosed depends on the route and vehicle. We give fixed, all-in quotes so you know exactly what you're paying before anything is booked.

### Is enclosed transport fully insured?
Yes. Every carrier in our network carries Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance. Cover levels vary — for vehicles above typical GIT limits we can arrange uplifted cover before collection. Always check the cover matches your vehicle's declared value.

### Can enclosed transporters access tight streets and gated estates?
Most enclosed trailers are 40ft or longer, so access on narrow residential streets can be difficult. We brief the driver on the collection address before dispatch. Where access is impossible, we arrange a meeting point nearby (a wider road, industrial estate, or service station) and move the vehicle the final stretch separately.

### How long does vehicle transport take?
For most UK routes, a single-vehicle enclosed move runs on a next-day or named-day basis. Longer multi-drop routes or back-loads may take 2–5 working days. Open transport multi-car routes are more efficient when grouped with other vehicles going the same direction. Trade plate delivery is often same-day or next-day on short-to-medium routes.

### Is open transport safe for my car?
For standard vehicles, yes. Every operator carries Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance, and cars are strapped down at the wheels with soft ties. What you accept with open transport is exposure — road spray, weather, and occasional stone chips. For daily drivers, that's rarely an issue. For high-value, show-grade, or freshly painted cars, enclosed is the answer.

### Can you transport a non-runner?
Yes. Non-runners are best handled by enclosed rigs with winches, wheel skates, and liftgates. Some open trailers can load a non-runner depending on whether the vehicle rolls and steers, but enclosed transport with a liftgate is the safest option — especially for low-clearance or unrollable vehicles.

### What are trade plates and who can use them?
Trade plates are temporary, DVLA-issued number plates for licensed motor traders. They allow the trader (or their authorised driver) to drive a vehicle for specific trade purposes — moving stock, collecting from auction, delivering a sale — without individually taxing the vehicle for the trip. The vehicle still has to be roadworthy and have a valid MOT.

### Does trade plate delivery add miles to my car?
Yes. The vehicle is driven, so mileage is added. For standard dealer or auction work that's normal. For mileage-sensitive cars (low-mileage classics, lease cars near the cap, limited editions), use enclosed transport instead.

### How quickly do you quote?
Within 24 hours of receiving the enquiry. Payment is required upfront before the booking is confirmed.
