Car Transport in Canterbury — FAQ
How is my car transported?
Most cars are transported on open car transporters, which is safe and the most affordable option. For classic, prestige, or high-value vehicles, enclosed transport is available — mention this in your job description.
Can I transport a non-running car?
Yes — many specialist vehicle transport drivers can collect and deliver non-running cars. Mention that your car is a non-runner when posting so drivers with the right equipment (winches, dollies) can bid.
How much does car transport cost?
A short local car transport (under 50 miles) typically starts from £80–£150. Long-distance transport (e.g. London to Edinburgh) might be £250–£400. Drivers compete for your job which keeps prices down.
Is my car insured during transport?
This depends on the driver. Ask about their insurance cover before accepting a bid. Many specialist car transporters carry specific motor trade insurance that covers vehicles in transit.
How long does car transport take?
Collection and delivery is usually arranged for a specific date and time agreed with your driver. Long-distance jobs may take 1–2 days. All timing is agreed directly with your driver after you accept their bid.
Can I transport a car I've just bought?
Yes — this is one of the most common uses. You can arrange transport from a dealer, auction, or private seller anywhere in the UK. Just provide the collection and delivery addresses when posting.
How do I find car transport near me?
You don't need a transporter based near you — you need one already travelling your route. Post the collection and delivery postcodes and transporters covering that corridor will bid, which is often cheaper than a local firm doing a dedicated round trip.
