The prices vary depending on the type of vehicle, as we often require the customer to provide the make/model of the car and sometimes the dimensions (for vans and trucks, machinery, buses, coaches, trailers, caravans, and motorhomes) to calculate an accurate price. The cargo price will depend on the container size required and where you are loading from (in the UK).
Except expressly stated by us in the quote, the price quote often excludes customs at the destination, as the shipper is expected to have arranged for a broker agent to advise on customs-related issues before shipping.
We only accept payment by bank transfer or if you have the cash you can pay in a bank. After the booking has been confirmed we will send an invoice with our bank details for you to make payment.
Some shipments can be tracked, by sending you a link on request however we can always check with the shipping lines for an adequate update regarding your shipment.

Yes only as long as there is enough space to accommodate the truck with a trailer and a clear access point not blocking the road, traffic, or pedestrians. Some premises may require a permit to load so before booking, it is the customer’s responsibility to check and make sure they have the required permit for the location.
