Car Transporting

[GT_Neil]

Anyone know anywhere thats good and cheap?

most prices i have got are about £300 quid!!

and the AA cant do it for me on my membership.

i can hire a car and a trailer for £165 - but i was hoping for an easy option?

Pull a part off your car that AA won't be able to fix and have them transport it then!

 

[Neal]

I assume your best bet is to hire a low loader and transport using that.

 

[scotty01]

Hire the car and trailer it's cheaper than £300 and piss easy.

 

[Starlet_Sam]

You will need someone who can legally drive with that trailer though.

lol sams plan is a very sam'ish plan but by damn its a clever one!

i would go for that.

unless they give you a call out charge and refuse to take you back

i used sams plan when i needed the gti remapping in scotland, took off a couple of sensors which they wouldnt have looked at and said it needs to goto gmc as they mapped the car n they took it up there

At the end of the day mate, easy isn't cheap, and cheap isn't easy... All depends on what your priority is!

 

[Jules-B]

exactly. I found that it was a much safer option to get a can transporter. rather than having to deal with a 4x4 and a trailer with another car on it.

As i see your in herts,here is the link to the one i rented.

LOL, that must have been a BIG can...

And yes, all people who visit me enjoy the experience! Just like I'm currently enjoying my 2nd bottle of wine!

 

[Jules-B]

Haha...Yeah twas a rather big CAN.....didnt like going up hills though a van probably would have been better..

From where to where?
Look for small firms with recovery trucks. I got charged £70 + VAT for my car to be taken to my specialist.

If you have access to a Car with a Tow ball, then hire a trailer. Cheapest option

As long as it doesnt weigh more than 3tons all together, then you can legally drive it with the trailer.

 

[TurboDave]

Or borrow an A-Frame if the car has wheels on. If the car is drivable ish, catch a train to where the car is and then suddenly break down when you get in the car a nice AA ride home then.

Transporter

From where to where and i'll get a price for you from my man.He travels from here to Kent every week.

 

[GT_Neil]

great replys as always guys,

lol same yea i would but the car has no engine in it, its going to get its engine back in so cant really do that haha.

i have tried small firms but they are all either booked up, dont work sat or are too expensive.

and its from welwyn in herts to halstead in suffolk

and yea i have my dad on trailer driving duty lol.

tell the AA it wont start, and "break" the bonnet release cable.

Do what jeremey clarkson did, tell them you're in a race and cant open the bonnet (Cheap porsche challenge thing)

thats a good idea, but it also has no front bumper on and lots of other bits off the front lol.

Trailor laws are different now, you can't tow anything more than 750kgs, including the weight of the trailer unless you do a test and have it added on to your licence.
