Overview

Moving vehicles, locally and long distance

Vehicle transportation is for planned moves rather than emergencies. You might be buying a car from another part of the country, collecting from an auction or salvage site, moving house, sending a car to a specialist garage or bringing a car back after buying it off an insurance company.

We transport cars, vans and motorbikes on flatbed trucks, so they arrive without added miles or wear. Local moves across London and Essex are our everyday work, and we also offer long-distance transport across the UK.

Customers use us to move their own vehicles locally and transport cars for others.

The risk

What can go wrong without proper transport

Driving a vehicle a long way, or trusting the move to the wrong company, can be costly.

Unknown condition

A newly bought car may have faults you don't know about yet. Driving it hundreds of miles is a gamble.

Added miles and wear

Every mile driven lowers value and adds wear, especially on classic or high-value cars.

Lost time

Travelling to collect a car yourself can take a whole day, plus train fares.

Poor communication

Some transporters go quiet. Not knowing where your car is makes the move stressful.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Driving an untested auction or salvage car home on the motorway.
  • Booking a transporter without checking their insurance.
  • Not confirming collection times with the site in advance.
  • Choosing an operator who won't give an arrival time.

Coverage

Vehicle Transportation near you

Our vehicle transportation work covers Barking and Dagenham, with trucks regularly working in Romford, Hornchurch, Rainham, Elm Park, Ilford, Redbridge, Stratford, Forest Gate, Leytonstone, Chingford and Bow. Being local means we know the roads, the traffic patterns and the quickest routes at every hour of the day.

Across Essex we cover Loughton, Chigwell and Epping to the north, Grays and Stanford-le-Hope along the Thames, and Brentwood, Chelmsford, Harlow and Wickford further out. We also work across North, South, South East and Central London, and can transport vehicles longer distances across the UK when you need it.

Whichever area you're in, the promise is the same: a real person on the phone, a clear quote before we set off, no call-out fee, and a truck with you as quickly as we can get there, typically around half an hour in an emergency.
