Moving in Brighton — what to know
Local considerations for your vehicle recovery & non-runner transport in Brighton.
- ✓Brighton is one of the most challenging UK cities for removals due to its hills, narrow streets, and strict parking controls. The Hanover, Queens Park and Elm Grove areas involve steep gradients — mention any steep access in your description.
- ✓Almost all of central Brighton requires a parking bay suspension for loading vans. Apply to Brighton & Hove City Council at least 5 working days before your move. Cost is typically £30–50 per bay.
- ✓Summer weekends (June–August) are extremely busy due to tourists. City centre moves during this period take much longer — early morning starts (7–8am) are strongly advised.
- ✓Brighton's student population (University of Sussex and University of Brighton) drives September demand, particularly in Moulsecoomb, Lewes Road and the North Laine area.
September for student moves. Avoid city centre moves on summer weekends (June–August) if possible due to tourist congestion.
Parking bay suspensions are almost always required in central Brighton. Allow at least a week to arrange this before your move date.

Vehicle Recovery & Non-Runner Transport in Brighton — FAQ
How much does non-runner transport cost?
A local move typically costs £60–£150. Longer distances range £150–£450+. Whether the car rolls and steers makes a big difference — fully seized cars need winching and cost more.
Can you move a car that will not roll or steer?
Yes, but it is harder — seized or locked vehicles need a winch and sometimes skates. Always state whether the car rolls, steers and brakes when posting so the driver brings the right kit.
Do you transport written-off or Cat S/N cars?
Yes — these are commonly moved to garages, buyers or for repair. Mention the category and condition; it does not stop transport, it just helps the driver plan.
What is the difference between recovery and car transport?
Standard car transport is for running, drivable cars. Recovery covers non-runners, accident-damaged and seized vehicles that need winching. Pick this service if your car cannot be driven on.
What details should I include when posting?
Make and model, whether it rolls, steers and brakes, any flat tyres or damage, how the car is parked (driveway, garage, kerbside), and collection and delivery addresses.
Is my vehicle insured during recovery?
This depends on the driver Goods in Transit insurance. Confirm their cover limit before accepting, especially for valuable project or classic cars.
