Car transport costs

Post by Dieselman » Sun Aug 18, 2013 5:08 pm

Has anyone got knowledge of how much it costs to transport a 1500kg car from SE France to the Midlands?

Also does anyone have any contacts for transporting parts from France to the UK?

Shiply is good Will, although as with everything make sure the transporter is reliable (works on a feedback system).

We've had a few brought over from France/Europe through Shiply and they've been fine.

Where you can get lucky with good quotes is if they're coming back empty - extra cash in their pocket for a slight diversion to pick something up.

Found something good then... ;)

My guess would be between £900-£1,200 Will based on my own recent experience. Regards, Matthew T.

No. As is usual with me, I've found a project car which needs resuscitating.
