Moving in London — what to know
Local considerations for your boat transport in London.
- ✓Most of Greater London is inside the ULEZ zone — ask your driver if their van is compliant (non-compliant vans pay £12.50/day). The Congestion Charge (£15/day) applies if your route passes through central London.
- ✓Residential street parking in inner London is almost always permit-only. For loading outside your property, you'll need a parking bay suspension — apply to your borough council at least 5 working days ahead.
- ✓Many London properties are converted Victorian houses with narrow staircases and no lift. Mention any access issues in your job description so drivers can price accurately.
- ✓End-of-month dates are the most popular for London moves due to tenancy cycles. Book at least 3 weeks in advance for Friday or Saturday moves.
End of month (especially September and late June) — Friday and Saturday moves book up fastest.
Parking suspensions are often essential in inner London. Your driver can help arrange this, or you can apply directly to your borough council.

Boat Transport in London — FAQ
How much does boat transport cost?
A small dinghy or RIB locally typically costs £100–£300. Larger motorboats or longer distances can range from £300 to £800+. Wide load permits add cost for vessels over 2.55m wide.
What size boats can be transported?
Most drivers cover dinghies, RIBs, and small motorboats up to around 8m. Larger vessels may require specialist haulage with wide load permits. Describe your boat's length, beam, and weight when posting.
Does my boat need to be on a trailer?
Ideally yes — boats on their own trailer are significantly easier and cheaper to transport. If your boat has no trailer, mention this when posting as some drivers can provide cradles or arrange trailers.
What details should I include when posting?
Boat type, length, beam width, weight (approximate), whether it has a trailer, collection and delivery locations (marina, yard, or address), and any access restrictions at either end.
Can boats be transported long distance?
Yes — many drivers cover the full length of the UK. Long-distance moves may require an overnight stop, which drivers will factor into their quote.
Is my boat insured during transport?
This depends on the driver's insurance. Your existing boat insurance may also provide transit cover — check your policy. For valuable craft, confirm the driver's Goods in Transit cover limit before accepting their bid.
