What Affects the Cost of Vehicle Transport?
Vehicle transport prices vary for several reasons. Knowing these factors helps you compare quotes and get the best value for your journey.
Costs can vary depending on whether you need car transport, vehicle shipping, or to move a car quickly across the UK.
| Factor | How It Affects Price |
|---|---|
| Distance | Longer routes cost more overall, although the per-mile rate often drops on longer journeys. |
| Transport Method | Driven transport is often cheapest for roadworthy vehicles, while trailer, flatbed and enclosed transport usually cost more. |
| Vehicle Type and Size | Larger or specialist vehicles such as caravans and motorcycles may require dedicated equipment and pricing. |
| Running Condition | Non-running or SORN vehicles usually cost more because they need flatbed or recovery-style loading. |
| Timing and Urgency | Flexible dates tend to reduce cost, while urgent same-day or next-day bookings usually increase it. |
| Location | Remote or rural locations can carry a small surcharge due to fewer available carriers. |
| Vehicle Value | High-value and classic vehicles may require specialist handling and higher insurance cover. |
Popular UK Vehicle Transport Routes
We arrange car transport, car delivery and vehicle shipping on hundreds of UK routes every week. These are some of the most common journeys, whether you’re looking to move a car between cities or arrange long-distance transport.
| Route | Approx. Distance | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|
| London to Edinburgh | ~400 miles | £360 - £600 |
| Manchester to London | ~200 miles | £180 - £300 |
| Birmingham to Glasgow | ~300 miles | £270 - £450 |
| Bristol to Newcastle | ~300 miles | £270 - £450 |
| Leeds to Southampton | ~250 miles | £225 - £375 |
| London to Manchester | ~200 miles | £180 - £300 |
Estimated costs are guide prices only. Exact quotes depend on vehicle type, route, timing and transport method.
Is My Vehicle Insured During Transport?
All transporters on the platform must hold suitable insurance, usually motor trade insurance or specialist vehicle transporter insurance.
Some transporters may also hold Goods in Transit insurance, although this does not always cover the vehicle itself. Before accepting a quote, it is worth confirming the exact level of cover, especially for classic, prestige or high-value vehicles.
For enclosed car transport, carriers often provide higher cover as standard, which is why it is commonly chosen for prestige and collector vehicles.
It is also good practice to photograph your vehicle before collection and make sure a proper condition check is carried out before handover.
