Hey all,

Anyone got any recommendations for transporting a car (VXR8) from Merthyr to Oxford?

It's not currently drivable, so needs to be on trailer/flat bed.

Had a quote from recovery companies that made my head spin. Looking into hiring a van and trailer myself.

Anyone got any other ideas or can recommend companies/people?

Thanks

Anytime really but would preferably like it to be delivered before Tuesday. But, anything considered? Can you help?

What cost are we talking? I need delivery from Merthyr Vale to Chipping Norton.

Best quote Ive had is for £140 all in.

Car can't be started but does roll. It's a large saloon.

Hey, Sorry, was checking if it could wait. I'm off on holiday for a couple of weeks, but looks like you have it sorted.

Cheers

Man with trailer needed 2 - can anyone who's able to wheel a very large car from Cardiff to Crewe kindly PM me. Had a couple of quotes but the stumbling block seems to that I need to actually travel with the car and arrive with it.

Try deliveryquotecompare.com

I got my car shipped, without me needing to go with it, Merthyr to oxford, for £140. 120 miles I think.

Guy was fully insured and sent me proof of delivery pics.

It's like an auction. Free to use too. You put in what car, when, from where and to where and people bid. You then choose which one you like. And pay them via website.

All very professional.

I tried that mate - on my responses just mobile phone numbers and low level insurance cover (if any)... Risky. Cheers anyway.
