How Much Does It Cost to Transport a Car Across the UK?

Whether you have bought a car at auction, are moving house, or need a non-runner shifted, the first question is always the same: what will it cost to move it? Here is an honest guide to what drives the price of UK vehicle transport.

What affects the price

• Distance — the single biggest factor. A cross-town move is very different from Cornwall to Scotland.
• Vehicle type and condition — a running car loads easily; a non-runner needs winching, and low or wide vehicles need care.
• How quickly you need it — a planned move booked ahead costs less than a same-day emergency.
• Where it is going — easy-access addresses are cheaper than tight lanes or remote spots.

Why fixed price lists can mislead

Anyone quoting a rigid national price before knowing your job is guessing. The honest way to price transport is on the actual route and vehicle. That is exactly how K9 works: your job goes out to our nationwide network of vetted drivers who compete for it, so you get a keen, real price for your specific move — not an inflated one-size-fits-all rate.
