Thank you for your message.
The website doesn't allow us to share contact details until a booking is made, it's their way of protecting their fees. All of these platforms are the same.
Please ask anything here and I will respond quickly.
Please also note that my quote is to drive your car, not transported on a truck or trailer.
I do regular driven trips to and from Europe and am experienced and properly insured to do so.

Question: Thanks Chris inwasnt aware

Yes I understand this is for the car to be driven. Does the price you ha e quoted cover everything? Are you planning on driving through Spain and France or getting the ferry from northern Spain? - (30-10-2024)

Response: Hello Adam,
Thank you again for your message.
Yes, my quote includes all expenses, fuel, tolls, ferry etc. No hidden extras.
Where in Spain would the collection be please?
My route would most likely be via ferry from Northern Spain, unless the collection is Eastern Spain, in which case I would drive up through France.
Best regards,
Chris

Question: Good Morning Chris

The car is in ibiza would this be a problem? Ferry routes from mainland to ibiza are from Denia or Barcelona. Denia is a 2.5.hr crossing. - (31-10-2024)

Response: Hello Adam,
Thank you for your message.
It does change things slightly, I was assuming your Jeep was in mainland Spain.
I drove a Mercedes back from Ibiza recently, so I'm familiar with the ferries etc.
It does however impact on the costs, it's an extra ferry journey. I've had a look at prices, the Denia ferry is around €195 upwards.
I am happy to do the trip but would require the cost of the ferry from Ibiza to Spain ontop.
Is the car UK registered and fully legal please?
Best regards,
Chris

Question: Hi Chris

Yes that's fine with me if your happy to do that.

The car is fully insured tax motd and registered to me in the UK. We have a holiday home in ibiza and the jeep was specifically bought for the purpose of not having to rent each summer we are here. I bought the vehicle over mid June so we are still within the 6 month limit allowed for it to stay here.

Thanks

Response: Great, thanks Adam.

I've looked further into the ferry, the alternative routes are cheaper, but the crossing times are a lot longer.
I've spotted a couple of crossings to Denia that are a little cheaper, but not significant so.

I asked about the legality of the car as the Mercedes that I collected from Ibiza had been impounded due to expired MOT. The owner forgot to tell me that until I arrived on the Island!

I can do this for you without any problems.
If you're happy, please go ahead and accept my quote, or if you have more questions please ask.

All the best,
Chris - (31-10-2024)

Response: Hello Adam,
No, I'll just ask you for the cost of the ferry.
I can go to suit you. Next week if you wish. I'm pretty flexible, I've just completed a run of European trips to France, Spain and Italy and am available.
I like to try to avoid weekends where possible, so would fly out early in the week.
All the best,
