UK ↔ Europe

Vehicle Transport Between the UK and Europe

You can request a quotation for transporting a suitable car or van between the UK and Europe, in either direction. Vehicle transport UK to Europe and European vehicle collection back into the UK are both considered for motor traders, dealerships, auction buyers, exporters, importers and private customers.

Nothing here is priced automatically. Every European journey is quoted individually after the route, vehicle, travel costs, documentation and access requirements have been reviewed.

Movements considered

  • From the UK to destinations in Europe
  • From Europe back to the UK
  • From UK auction sites to European destinations
  • From dealerships to customers or businesses in Europe
  • From European dealerships or sellers to the UK
  • To and from agreed ports, terminals and business locations

Commonly requested destinations

These are the destinations most often asked for. Other European destinations can be considered by quotation — no country is automatically covered.

Who it's for

Trade and Private Customers

One-off movements and repeat trade enquiries are both welcome.

Motor traders

Stock bought in the UK for European buyers, or sourced abroad for UK resale. One-off and repeat movements are both welcome.

Pricing

How a European Quotation Is Worked Out

No automatic price is shown. A quotation may take the following into account:

  • Collection and delivery distance
  • Destination country
  • Ferry or Eurotunnel costs
  • Tolls and road charges
  • Low-emission or restricted-access zones
  • Vehicle dimensions and weight
  • Vehicle condition
  • Loading requirements
  • Collection appointments
  • Port or terminal charges
  • Customs-related delays
  • Waiting time
  • Required delivery date
  • Return journey availability
  • Additional documentation or access requirements

The final quotation states clearly what is included and what is excluded, including crossing costs, tolls, terminal charges and waiting time.

What we need from you

  • Vehicle make, model, year, registration and registration country
  • Whether the vehicle runs, rolls, steers and brakes
  • Left-hand or right-hand drive, and any modification or lowering
  • Collection country, city, postcode and full address
  • Delivery country, city, postcode and full address
  • Collection and delivery site type, opening times and on-site contacts
  • Auction, dealership or collection reference where one applies
  • Proof of ownership or written authority to move the vehicle
  • Export, import and registration documentation availability
  • Who is handling customs formalities in each direction
  • Preferred collection date and any required delivery date
