Collected in Greater Manchester, Delivered to Your London Address
A large share of the cars K9 moves on this corridor have just changed hands at auction — a Manchester-area buy heading south to a trade customer, a private buyer, or a dealer forecourt in London. The driver collects from the auction site or the seller’s address, checks the car over, and sets off down the M6.
From Manchester the run is around 200 miles, usually four to five hours depending on where in London the car is going and what the M6 through Cheshire and the M1 or M40 into the capital are doing that day. Some drivers cut across on the M6 Toll to dodge the Birmingham interchange; others stay on the free M6 and pick their moment.

A Keen Price Because every job is priced individually
K9 does not set a fixed rate for Manchester to London and quote it to everyone. The job goes out to our network of 3,000 vetted transport drivers, and whoever can fit it in most efficiently — often because they already have a car booked in nearby, or a return load waiting — puts in the price. You get that price before anything is booked, not a number plucked from a rate card.
Getting Into a ULEZ Postcode
Plenty of Manchester to London jobs finish inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone. Our drivers are used to it: narrow residential streets, permit bays, and the odd building with no obvious place to unload a transporter. Tell us the postcode when you book and the driver will plan the last few hundred yards before they set off, rather than finding out on arrival.
Why the Return Leg Matters to Your Price
Very few transporters run one car in one direction and then drive home empty. A driver heading to London with your Manchester auction buy will usually already have, or be looking for, a car to bring back north — a part-exchange, another auction lot, a private sale. That backload is built into how keenly they can price your job, which is one reason the individual pricing model tends to beat a flat quote.
Open Transport or Covered, Your Choice
- Open transporter — the usual choice for everyday hatchbacks, saloons and 4x4s moving between Manchester and London
- Enclosed or covered trailer — worth asking for on a prestige, modified or low-mileage car you do not want exposed to spray off the M6 and M1
- Multi-car loads — if a dealer is moving several vehicles at once, they often travel together to keep the per-car price down
- Non-runners — a car that will not start or drive can still be collected in Manchester; the driver brings the right kit rather than trying to push it up a ramp
What You Will Need Before Booking
Have the collection and delivery addresses (or postcodes), a contact number at each end, and rough dates in mind. We arrange transport for cars, vans, 4x4s, motorbikes and classics anywhere on this route, fully insured while your vehicle is with the driver. For a wider look at how we cover the rest of the country, see our vehicle transport page, or our dedicated Manchester vehicle transport page if the job starts closer to the city centre. If your car is coming from a sale rather than a private seller, our auction car transport page covers collection direct from the auction hall.
Speak to us on 07301 118118, open 24 hours, and we will get your job out to drivers on this route straight away.

Manchester to London Transport — Common Questions
I bought a non-runner at a Manchester auction — can it still be collected?
Yes. Our drivers carry winches and loading kit for cars that will not start or steer under their own power, so a non-runner from a Manchester auction hall is collected the same as any other lot, then delivered on to London.
How quickly can a car booked in Manchester reach a London address?
Most single cars on this route are delivered within a couple of days of collection, though exact timing depends on the driver’s existing schedule and how firm your dates are. Tell us if you have a hard deadline and we will flag it when the job goes out to drivers.
Does the price change if my car needs an enclosed trailer?
It can, since fewer drivers on the network run covered trailers than open ones. You will still see a keen price because it is put together job by job, just drawn from a smaller pool suited to enclosed work.
