Hi all!

Just bought a car in Scotland but want to get it transported as its a long way to drive!

Does anyone reccomended anyone who would do this and not charge a fortune for the privilege??

Cheers

usually its cars and material going the other way so a return trip should be pretty cheap

Where in scotland and how soon do you need it? Asking as I may need to transport a car from oxford to scotland in a couple of weeks.

Get a train and drive back?

Just my two pence. Where in Scotland makes a massive difference to this. Whereabouts in Scotland is it being picked up?

I know you've mentioned it's a long drive but:

- Train tickets up the east coast are pretty reasonable.
- It's a weekend, so if you drive on a Sat/Sun night the traffic should be pretty scarce.
- If you're driving from North of Edinburgh/Glasgow there are some nice driving roads (this is the most important point of course). Also some nice roads in Northumberland if you head that way.
- You'll potentially get to know any little problems with the car on the way down and can address them when you get back home.

If it were me I would make a trip out of it and take someone along for the ride!
