Frequently Asked Questions

What are trade plates?

Trade plates (red and white number plates) allow motor traders to drive unregistered or untaxed vehicles on public roads for business purposes. We're fully licensed and insured to operate under trade plates.

Do I need to tax a vehicle before you transport it?

No. We operate under trade plates, so the vehicle does not need to be taxed or insured by you for the transport journey. This saves you time and money.

Can you collect from an auction?

Yes — we regularly collect from all major UK auctions: BCA, Manheim, Copart, G3, Aston Barclay, and more. We understand auction collection procedures and time windows.

What documents do I get?

We provide a collection condition report (with photos), delivery confirmation, and a proof of delivery. For trade customers, we can provide invoices for your records.

How does trade plate transport differ from regular car delivery?

Trade plate transport means the vehicle is driven under our trade plates and insurance — you don't need to arrange temporary insurance or road tax. It's the same professional two-person team, just with the added legal cover.

Do you work with car dealerships?

Yes — we're a trusted transport partner for dealerships across the UK. Trade accounts available with monthly invoicing, priority scheduling, and volume discounts.
