Whether you're relocating, selling a vehicle abroad, or moving your car to a holiday home — we drive your vehicle directly to its destination, then fly home. <strong>You pay for the direct pickup-to-drop-off distance only</strong> — no return ferry costs, no deadhead miles, no support car to drag back across the continent. One-way Eurotunnel or ferry crossing included. Overnight stops planned for longer routes. Your car arrives exactly where you need it, and we're on a flight home the same day.

All prices are estimates using London as a mid-country reference. Use our quote form with your actual postcodes for an exact fixed price. You only pay for your direct pickup-to-drop-off distance. One-way crossing, flight home included — no return ferry, no deadhead miles, no support car to drag back.
Direct Route Pricing
You pay £1.50/mile for your pickup-to-drop-off distance only — not a triangle from Devon. Deadhead miles to the pickup point are on us. Simple, transparent, fair.
We Drive There, Fly Back
No return ferry crossings. No support car following behind. No wasted days driving back. We deliver your vehicle, hand over the keys, and catch a flight home — often the same day.
One-Way Crossing Included
Eurotunnel or ferry crossing is one-way only — typically £75 for the tunnel or £120 for a ferry. No return ticket to inflate your price.
Full European Insurance
Our motor trade road risk policy is extended for European travel. Your vehicle is comprehensively insured from UK collection through to European delivery — no gaps at borders.
Overnight Stops Only When Needed
For journeys over 10 hours driving, we plan a secure overnight stop. Your vehicle is parked at insured, monitored locations. We resume fresh the next morning — no fatigued driving.
Any UK Pickup, Any European Drop-off
Collection from your home, a dealer, or auction house anywhere in the UK. Delivery to any address in France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which European countries do you deliver to?
All EU and Schengen-area countries: France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Sweden, and more. If it's accessible by road from the UK, we can deliver there.
How is European delivery priced?
You pay the direct pickup-to-drop-off distance at £1.50/mile, plus a £350 European base fee, plus a one-way crossing (Eurotunnel ~£75 or ferry ~£120), EU insurance extension (£75), any overnight accommodation needed on the way (£100/night), and our flight home (~£80-120). No return ferry costs. No deadhead miles. Minimum job £500.
How long does delivery take?
France/Benelux: same day. Germany: 1 long day. Spain/Italy: 2 days with 1 overnight. Portugal: 3 days with 2 overnights. We hand over the keys and fly home the same day we arrive — no multi-day return trip.
Is my vehicle insured in Europe?
Yes. Our motor trade road risk insurance is extended for European travel. Your vehicle is fully comprehensively insured from the moment we collect it in the UK until we hand over the keys at the destination.
What documents do I need?
We need the V5C (UK registration), a valid MOT certificate (if applicable), and your written permission to take the vehicle abroad. For non-EU countries like Switzerland, we may need additional customs paperwork — we'll advise when you book.
Can you deliver left-hand-drive vehicles to Europe?
Yes — it's one of our most common requests. We regularly drive LHD vehicles from the UK to their home markets in Europe. Our drivers are experienced with both left and right-hand drive.
Do you need a return crossing or a second driver?
No. That's the old-fashioned way. We drive your car one-way, then fly home. No return ferry ticket, no support car following, no co-driver to pay for twice over. Just your car at its destination and us on a budget flight home.
Can you collect a car in Europe and bring it to the UK?
Absolutely — works in reverse. We fly out to the European pickup point, collect your vehicle, and drive it back to any UK address. Same pricing model: direct distance, one-way crossing, flight out included instead of flight back.
