Vehicle Recovery & Non-Runner Transport in Coventry — 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.
