Transport car cost
Discussion
Just purchased a vintage car and needed to have it picked up and delivered. Used a well known transport agency online and received a dozen or so quotes to consider. The cheapest was about £30 less than the next one up and most were around the £440 area.
Cheapest s for a reason I always consider, in this case reading the small print revealed an insured value of goods being transported of £100.
Always read the small print eh!
I’m a little surprised the agency would have such an operator on the books.

Wait until you get a European quote.
The cost of the work to transport was there or thereabouts tbf, it was the fact that one of the Companies were only insured for one hundred pounds which prompted my post. Imagine hiring that and the driver was involved in an accident. Never had a car transported to Europe, must be thousands of pounds I guess, even to Northern France.
Did you try me?

might not be able to beat or match the underinsured cowboys on the bid sites & I wouldn't try, but have been around a long time (nearly 20 years) & moved lots of PHers cars.

Just means the driver loses everything he owns when the court case finishes.
Not really, 1 scenario- he told you he has CMR insurance, this is standard for freight stuff, payout approx £800/tonne, doesn't go far for Supercar or expensive classics eh!Scenario 2, foreign guy or general scum bottom feeder, how are you going to track him down? he'll just disappear.
Just as a note on the bid sites I'm on a well known one just for the odd spare empty return spaces on European trips, I signed up 12 years ago ago, no insurance check since then, & no Operators licence checks- compulsory for EU work, etc etc. I'm a compliant operator with huge insurance cover etc, most however are utter cowboys on CMR cover, see above & can easily just disappear.
