Car Transport Aberdeen

Long-Distance Vehicle Transport From Aberdeen

Aberdeen sits on routes that make longer-distance vehicle transport a common requirement.

The A90 provides the main road connection south from Aberdeen, with routes continuing through Dundee and into central Scotland. The A96 runs west towards Inverness through towns including Inverurie, Huntly and Elgin.

We can collect a vehicle in Aberdeen and take it to Glasgow, Edinburgh, northern Scotland or further south into England as one arranged transport job.

The same works in reverse. If you’ve bought a car elsewhere in the UK, we can collect it and bring it to Aberdeen without you having to travel down and drive it home yourself.

Collecting a Car Within Aberdeen’s Low Emission Zone

Aberdeen city centre has a Low Emission Zone, so the exact collection address can affect how a vehicle is moved.

If the car doesn’t meet the LEZ emissions requirements, driving it from an address inside the zone may not be suitable.

Transporter collection works differently. The car is carried rather than driven through the zone, though the transporter itself still needs to meet any rules that apply to it.

Send us the full collection postcode when you enquire. We can then take the location and vehicle into account before arranging the job.

Which Type of Transport Does Your Car Need?

For a normal roadworthy car, you have a choice.

Trade plate delivery means the car is driven from collection to delivery. This can work well for a standard vehicle where adding mileage isn’t a concern.

A recovery truck, trailer or car transporter keeps the vehicle off the road. That suits non-runners, newly purchased vehicles you don’t want driven and cars that have mechanical or loading problems.

For classic, prestige, sports and other higher-value cars, enclosed transport is available. The vehicle travels inside a covered transporter instead of being exposed to road dirt and weather during a long-distance move.

Tell us if the car has low ground clearance, damaged wheels, steering problems, brake issues or accident damage. Those details can change the equipment needed to load it.

Bought a Car in Aberdeen?

You don’t need to travel to Aberdeen simply to collect a vehicle you’ve bought.

We can arrange collection from a dealership, private seller, business or auction and deliver the car to your address.

For dealership and auction collections, make sure the vehicle has been released and give us any collection reference or instructions supplied by the seller.

We can then arrange the transport around the car, collection point and destination.

Vehicle Cover During Transport

Vehicles carried by Nick065 are transported under the Goods in Transit insurance held by the transporting carrier.

The standard liability limit is £250,000 per vehicle. A vehicle worth more than this needs to be declared before booking so higher-value cover can be arranged if required.

This is particularly relevant for classic, prestige and high-value vehicles.
