Transporter hire - Sheffield

[Convert]

Need to hire a car transporter to get my TVR up to Leeds for some engine upgrades.

I've found a company in Nottingham (transporterhire.co.uk), has anyone ever used them please?

No but I have a number first a guy I used before in Sheffield if you want it ? He doesn't hire his transporter out but will move cars around for people very cheaply.

A former colleague of mine runs this company, whilst I've never used them myself I have only heard good things and his trucks always seem to be busy. He's a former racer and ARDS instructor too, not that that has any bearing on his transporter company - just some background info!

I have used them, October last year.

Prices are good - £110 for a day. Truck was 57 plate with 300,000 on the clock, and the cab definitely felt all of those 300,000 miles. However the truck never missed a beat, totally reliable and would easily do 80 on the motorway (unladen of course). There's a remote controlled electric winch, which is very useful and works well.

They don't have offices as such, just vans in various locations and you pick the truck up from a local agent. This might lead to some challenges around timing, but didn't for me.

I would definitely use them again.

Cheers Chris, it's always worth checking out all the options.

I'd appreciate it if you could PM me the number please?

I used transporterhire a few weeks ago. Picked up the truck on a thursday evening, loaded my elise with a blown headgasket friday morning and dropped the transporter back on friday afternoon. All from the nottingham based agent who isnt a massive distance from M1 J25 or J26 depending on which direction you come from.

Transporter had over 200000 miles, but drove really well for such high mileage. Only issue was us needing to jump start it because we used the electric winch without the engine running and took too much charge out of the battery.
