RobMk6 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Anybody ever used any of these companies who advertise that they can move a car for you? Only reason I'm asking is that I'm in the forces and based in Yorkshire, I'm buying a car in Yorkshire and need a way to get two cars home.....

Andyb0127 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yes mate we've just used one that advertised on eBay who was local to us. As we had just but an accident damaged car, had no problems what so ever, did it fairly cheap as well will definatly use them again in future.Pays to phone a few tho as we got all sorts of prices.

caled Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I used anyvan.com, kinda like a reverse eBay. You say what you need (ie a car picked up from A and taken to B) and various couriers will quote you on it. I used it for transporting my car last year and got some good prices. I'd recommend it. Infact I am doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMk6 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 £350 is the cheapest I found, but I can get the train back up for £140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMk6 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Right,So far the options are.... Get it moved for me -- £350 -- no thanks!! Insure someone else to drive it following me home, then drive them back up here, then drive home again -- 4 journeys worth of fuel. Drive one home, hire car, drive back up in hire car, drop hire car off and drive home in the other. -- 3 lots of fuel plus £70 hire. Drive one home, jump on national express back here, drive the other home -- 2 lots of fuel plus £70 bus ticket. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganges Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) The last one, or what about an off peak train ticket??? or has one of the cars got a tow hitch, and hire a car transport trailer???, just done a quick google for you, if i remember your based at cattrick, there is a hire company in Ripon (ripon trailer centre, 01765 534 376), from some of the prices your looking at about 40.00 a day ISH, hope that helps, but no good if you aint got a tow hitch Edited March 15, 2012 by ganges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMk6 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Wow catterick, that was a while ago, nah I'm in leconfield, Neither of the cars have a tow bar, the one that did is sat at home with a dead turbo, I'd have no issues otherwise as I've got a trailer.... Oh and that was a price for off peak ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
