Vehicle Transport in the Scottish Highlands
The Scottish Highlands — 500 miles from Devon, further than Paris. Inverness is further from Exeter than the Czech border is from London. This is our longest run — and we make it work through careful planning and our two-person team. The A9 from Perth through the Cairngorms to Inverness and beyond; the A82 through Glen Coe to Fort William. It's four-day territory: travel day one and two, collect/deliver day three, return day four. The Highlands aren't for every vehicle transporter — but they are for us.
Britain's Longest Run
Exeter to Inverness is 500 miles — our longest regular UK run. We plan it carefully: two days up, one day for collection/delivery, one day back. Four days total, all priced transparently.
A9 Corridor
The A9 from Perth to Inverness is the Highlands' main artery — 110 miles of mostly single carriageway through the Cairngorms. Spectacular, but slow. We allow extra time and price accordingly.
Fort William & The West
The A82 through Glen Coe to Fort William is one of Britain's greatest drives — but it's not a quick one. Remote, winding, and weather-dependent. We plan western Highland runs carefully.
Aviemore & Speyside
Aviemore and the Spey Valley are about 470 miles from Devon. A stunning area for vehicle collections — and the roads through the Cairngorms are well-maintained.
Far North Reach
Thurso, Wick, John O'Groats — 600 miles from Devon. Yes, we'll go there. But it's a five-day operation and the quote will reflect the distance. No surprises — you'll know the cost upfront.
Winter Highlands Awareness
The A9 at Drumochter Pass and the A82 at Rannoch Moor can be closed by snow from November to March. We monitor conditions obsessively for Highland runs and will reschedule if roads are unsafe.
