Transporting a Car

[souperman]

Does anyone know if someone would transport a car from anywhere in UK to Caithness, and at what cost, my son is searching for his first car but the vast majority of ones available are south of the border, thanks in advance for suggestions.

I looked into this a couple of years ago and was getting quotes between £1 and £1.50 a mile.

I had to move a chassis a few months back, I ended up hiring a trailer and going and getting it myself.

The trailer was a car transporter trailer which was about £100 ish IIRC to hire for a couple of days.

Factor in a couple of tanks of fuel and a B&B for a night and this was the best option.

Some UK traders now operate a delivery service. I expect "Auto Trader" would be the place to look.

just got some quotes in from halkirk to inverness the cheapest was £180 for my car, would be cheaper flying to a nearest airport and driving it home! my last buy was from 60 miles south of bristol, my husband flew down to bristol from inverness for £40 and the sellers picked him up from the airport! long drive home for him .....

It makes sense if you have the time, there is nothing like a 600 mile up hill drive to activate a warranty

Try Richards garage in wick they take cars up the road on nearly a weely basis, maybe they could squeze yours in. Or you could try Andrew there and he could maybe get you a car and deliver it.

Simply put.......Go for a Local company and that way you will know who you are dealing with.

So I would suggest you contact Viking Motors on :-

07769 731664 or 07810862486.

you can also find them at :-

Unit 7/4c
Ormlie Industrial Estate
Thurso

You cant get more local than that and my Son has nothing but praise for them.
