Moving in London — what to know
Local considerations for your vehicle recovery & non-runner 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.

Vehicle Recovery & Non-Runner Transport in London — 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.
