Car Transport Needed

Post by PartTimer » Fri Jun 07, 2013 10:20 am

I need to get the atom from Inverness to Crewkerne next week. Normally I would drive myself but the weather is so unpredictable and I am kind of busy at work. Any recommendations for a car transport company and/or a rough price? It is nearly 600 miles (yikes!)

These guys transported my TVR to it's new home down south. Seemed to arrive fine and the buyer had no issue.

Make sure you mention that it's a low car - there was a (small) surcharge for that on my transport costs. That was Dundee to Leicestershire and cost around £300 all in.

Thank you. They seem very reasonable - almost worryingly so in fact. Only £375 plus VAT.

So, used them. No problems at all. Picked up on the day they said they would, with a call as promised an hour before they arrived. Nice guy from all accounts ( I wasn't there). Delivered on time and without any hassle. Would recommend. PT

They delivered my Elan from Paul Matty's in Bromsgrove, without any issues. Driver was very pleasant and professional.

Worth posting something in the Feedback forum so it doesn't get lost, if you like, chaps? Sounds like a useful resource.

Good price for that distance.
