Nottingham · Booked Vehicle Transport
Vehicle Transport from Nottingham
Auction collections, dealer trades, private sales, classic cars and EVs. Booked moves with fixed quotes, photo records and proper insurance — across the East Midlands and the rest of the UK.
Transport, not recovery
When the car is fine but you need it moved — that is transport. You have bought one at auction, sold one privately, the dealership needs it on another forecourt, or you have a project car sat at the other end of the country. Different job to breakdown recovery, different pricing model, planned in advance.
We run vehicle transport out of Nottingham every day of the week. Most of our work clusters around Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and the wider East Midlands, but we regularly run jobs into Scotland, Wales and down to the south coast. The kit is the same as our recovery fleet — flatbed tilt-and-slides — so non-runners and project cars are not a problem.
Quotes are fixed and written. Insurance is in place before we load. Photographs at both ends are standard, not an extra. The car arrives in the condition it left.
What we transport
From a Saturday-bought auction lot to a £200k classic. Same attention either way.
Auction collection & delivery
BCA, Manheim, smaller regional auctions. We collect, settle the gate paperwork, photograph the car as it leaves and deliver to your address.
Dealer trade moves
Inter-branch transfers and dealer-to-dealer trades. Trade pricing for regular work, photo handover sheets for the receiving site.
Private sale delivery
Bought a car online from another part of the country? We collect it, transport it on a flatbed, and hand it over to you at home.
Classic & enthusiast vehicles
Soft straps, low-angle ramps, no chains touching the body. We treat your classic the way we would treat our own.
EV & hybrid transport
Flatbed-only transport for electric and hybrid vehicles. Compliant with the Tesla, BMW i, Polestar and Hyundai/Kia guidance — no rolling.
Project cars & non-runners
Restoration projects, flat-tyred barn finds, locked-up engines. If we can winch it onto the bed, we can move it.
How a transport booking works
Five steps from first call to delivery. Most jobs go from quote to collection inside a few days; urgent moves can run same-week.
Tell us the job
Vehicle make and model, condition (runner / non-runner), collection postcode, delivery postcode, and your timing. A quick call or message is enough.
Fixed quote in writing
We come back to you with a fixed price, the insurance position, and a collection window. No surprises on the day.
Collection & photographs
On the day, our operator photographs the vehicle from every angle before loading. You get a copy. The vehicle is strapped down and we are off.
En route updates
For longer trips you get an ETA update. Same number, same operator — you know who has the keys.
Delivery & sign-off
Off-loaded carefully, photographed again on delivery, paperwork signed, keys handed over. Done.
Trade accounts
Dealerships
Regular collection and delivery for forecourts, used-car centres and prestige dealers. Trade rates, monthly invoicing, photo handover documentation for inter-branch transfers.
Independent traders & exporters
Auction-bought stock moved to your yard or onward shipper. Multi-vehicle scheduling and consolidated routes when it makes sense.
Bodyshops & repairers
Damaged-vehicle collection from third-party storage, delivery between repair sites, and onward movement once jobs complete.
Restoration & specialists
Classic specialists, race prep workshops and restorers. Soft handling, careful loading, and operators who understand a project car is not a runner.

Vehicle Transport FAQs
Common questions about booked vehicle transport from Nottingham.
What is the difference between recovery and vehicle transport?
Recovery is the unplanned, urgent stuff — you have broken down and you need help now. Vehicle transport is booked work where the vehicle is roadworthy or simply needs moving. Different pricing, different scheduling. Transport jobs are usually quoted, booked in advance and run to a window rather than a 999-style ASAP response.
Do you collect from auctions?
Yes. We collect from BCA, Manheim and other major auction sites and deliver to your home, dealership or storage. Pay-and-display delivery, photographs of the vehicle on collection, and we handle the auction-side paperwork.
Can you transport a non-runner?
Yes. Tilt-and-slide flatbed lets us winch on non-running vehicles without damage. Tell us on booking if it has flat tyres, no battery, locked steering or any other quirk — we bring the right kit.
Do you do dealer-to-dealer transport?
Regularly. Dealer trade moves, inter-branch transfers, customer handovers — we run these every week across the East Midlands and beyond. Trade rates available for repeat work.
How are vehicles secured during transport?
Multi-strap wheel restraints, soft straps for prestige and classic vehicles, no chains anywhere near the bodywork. Photos of the vehicle and the loading on collection, photos again on delivery. You get a record of how it left and how it arrived.
Do you transport EVs?
Yes. Flatbed only — EVs cannot be towed conventionally because the drive motors regenerate current and you risk damaging the inverter. We are familiar with manufacturer guidance for Tesla, BMW, Audi, Polestar, Mercedes-EQ and the major Korean brands.
Are you insured for high-value vehicles?
Goods-in-transit cover is in place to substantial limits. For vehicles above the standard limit we arrange uplifted cover before the move. Always tell us the value when you book — we will confirm in writing what is covered.
How far do you transport from Nottingham?
Anywhere in mainland UK. Most of our work is East Midlands and the surrounding regions, but we run jobs to Scotland, Wales and the south coast regularly. Quotes are based on distance, vehicle type and timing.
Can I track my vehicle during transport?
Yes. We share a live update on dispatch, send photographs at collection, and confirm on delivery. For longer routes we will message you with progress so you know when to expect arrival.
