I may need to get a car shifted from Malaga back to the midlands. A quick google reveals a whole host of companies asking for details before they will quote. Just wondered if any has successfully used one and if they were any good?

Thanks all

Its on UK plates, been out of the country for considerable time and therefore not MOT'd and I have no way to tax it. Also, not registered in my name, needing new tyres and misfiring. Think its a crank sensor but no way to properly diagnose remotely.

If you want a smaller outfit try listing it on Shiply
Otherwise at work we use EM Rogers from Northampton (https://emrogerstransport.com/). Not cheap but very professional. Perhaps you can see if they have space on a backload.

Not massively interesting, but a car I’ve always fancied and would make a useful towcar/parts hauler. Cherokee XJ.

If your not in the industry dont ask any transport company for a backload price because its an insult . When we get asked for a backload price from a non transport company we just quote a high price and everybody does this

Just ask them if they can do a good price and you might get one !
