I am looking to get a car from North Yorkshire to Lincolnshire, Can anyone suggest a reliable company to transport this for me. Never done this before so could do with some good advice. cheers

Register with shiply and people bid on your job, I bet you'll get it done for £50.

Seconded - this will be your cheapest option.

I'm currently awaiting the arrival of a car that I've had moved via Shiply.

£50 might be an optimistic bet - the cheapest offer I got was approx £1/mile but most were around the £1.50/mile mark. Maybe you'll get lucky with someone going that direction anyway with an empty space on the truck but I'd be budgeting at least £120 for the job.

I got a non running car shifted from London to Southampton in the snow for just over £100. Leave it a few days and they'd start undercutting each other.

I've used them loads and never paid more than 75p per mile. £1 a mile normal rates when you phone a logistics company.
I've had a car from Felixstowe to Leeds for £175. Aberdeen to Leeds for £200.
As said, especially if you're flexible with time scales they will be very cheap.
