Bit of a long story and I don't want to give anything away but I may need to hire an HGV car transporter to do three runs from Scotland (highlands) to Berkshire. ie 3 trips (6 journeys) (6-9 days work probably)

Anyone got any idea where to start ??? Have no idea about costs or anyone that does this probably shipping 30ish cars

A couple of years ago eight of us had our cars taken out to Munich then picked up in Nice to be brought home to Kent. Cost was about £500 each.

I can get contact details for the company if you like?

I good friend of mine was asked to use his rigid low loader to move some plant, he said he wanted £500/day.

I reckon about £3000 + VAT should cover that...

Do you mean rent to drive yourself, or you have the cars & want them shifted?

If the latter drop me a pm & I can sort.

The company we used is http://www.transcars.co.uk/

I am told their prices have gone up quite a bit this year though.
