Italy
Vehicle Transport Between the UK and Italy
Italian journeys cross France or Switzerland and involve Alpine passes or tunnels, which affects both routing and cost. Northern Italy is a materially shorter run than the south, so the two are never priced the same.
Italy generates a lot of classic and specialist movement — cars bought from Italian dealers and collectors, and UK vehicles heading to Italian buyers or events. Low ground clearance and high value both need declaring at the quote stage.
Cars and vans are considered in both directions, running or not, subject to dimensions, weight, condition and a safe-loading assessment.
