Car Transport Aberdeen
Planned, non-emergency transport for cars that need to be moved rather than driven — auction buys, non-runners, MOT failures and vehicle relocations across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Not an emergency — a booking
This is different from the rest of our services. Where breakdown recovery and accident recovery respond to something that's gone wrong on the road, car transport is arranged in advance for a car that simply needs to move from one place to another. There's no roadside urgency involved — you tell us where the car is, where it needs to go, and when, and we work around your schedule.
Common reasons people book car transport
- A car bought at auction that needs collecting and bringing home.
- A private sale purchase that isn't roadworthy yet.
- A non-runner being moved into storage.
- Moving a car between home addresses.
- A car that has failed its MOT and can no longer be legally driven.
How booking works
Get in touch with the collection address, the destination, and roughly when you'd like the move to happen. Let us know whether the car is driveable, since that affects how it's loaded, and whether there's anything unusual about access at either end, such as a narrow driveway or a locked compound. We'll confirm the details and arrange a suitable time.
Driving without an MOT. A car that has failed its MOT, or has none, generally can't be driven on the public road except to a small number of permitted destinations such as a pre-booked test. Transporting it on a recovery vehicle avoids that problem entirely, since the car isn't being driven at all.
When you might need something else instead
If your car has actually broken down and you need it collected right now, our breakdown recovery or general car recovery pages cover that kind of urgent situation. Car transport is the better fit whenever there's no emergency and you're simply planning a move.
Car Transport FAQs
Can you transport a car that has no MOT?
Yes. A car without a valid MOT can't legally be driven on the road, but it can still be transported on a recovery vehicle. This is one of the most common reasons people book car transport with us.
Do you transport cars bought at auction?
Yes. Tell us the collection point, whether the car runs or not, and where it needs to go, and we'll arrange transport from there.
Can I book transport in advance rather than calling in an emergency?
Yes, that's exactly what this service is for. Car transport is planned ahead of time for a date and route that suits you, rather than being an emergency response to a breakdown or accident.
