Moving in Edinburgh — what to know
Local considerations for your car transport in Edinburgh.
- ✓The Edinburgh Festival (last two weeks of August) causes major road closures and heavy traffic throughout the city. Moving in central Edinburgh during August is significantly harder and more expensive — aim for July or September if possible.
- ✓Edinburgh's Low Emission Zone covers the city centre. Non-compliant vehicles face charges from 2025 — confirm your driver is compliant before booking.
- ✓Most Edinburgh properties are tenement flats (4-storey sandstone buildings with no lifts). Always specify the floor level and stair access in your job description.
- ✓New Town, Marchmont and Morningside have strict resident parking permit schemes. You may need to arrange a temporary parking suspension from Edinburgh City Council.

Indicative ranges for Edinburgh — drivers compete on We Got The Move, so you choose the best price. Free to post, pay just £9.99 when you accept.
July is the best month to move — before Festival chaos. September is very busy for student moves (University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, Napier).
Festival period (August) road closures make city centre moves very difficult. Parking suspensions for tenement flats often need 2 weeks' notice.

Car Transport in Edinburgh — 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.
