Once you’ve booked, how long until the car’s on your drive? As with the price, it depends — but here’s a realistic picture of what affects the timing and how to get it moved quickly.
Booking to collection
This is where the network model shines. Rather than waiting for one company’s single truck to be free, your job goes to a nationwide network of drivers, so there’s often someone already heading your way soon. Urgent moves can frequently be collected same or next day; non-urgent ones get scheduled to suit you.
The journey itself
A direct run is quickest. Distance is the main factor — a local move is a matter of hours, a cross-country one a full day. If a driver is combining loads on a route, it can be keener on price but take a little longer.
