Is the car insured while it is on your truck?

Yes. The vehicle is covered in transit while it is on our bed, and the driver records its condition at collection and at delivery. We have loaded plenty of vehicles near Cape Hill.

Can you collect from a Smethwick address if I am not there?

Yes, provided someone can hand over the key or it has been left somewhere agreed in writing. Around the Birmingham Canal that is a routine job for us. We photograph the car before loading so the condition record does not depend on either of us remembering it later.

Do you deliver outside the West Midlands?

Yes. Smethwick pickups regularly run to anywhere in mainland Britain. Long runs are quoted per mile with the return leg accounted for, so the figure you get is the figure you pay.

What if the car will not start on the day?

It makes no difference to the booking. Tell us when you book, or ring on the day, and the driver loads it with the winch instead. The A4030 keeps the truck route simple from our side.

Can two cars go on one booking?

Two cars from the same Smethwick address to the same destination can often be paired across two runs on the same day, which usually prices better than two separate jobs.

Cars that are worth protecting travel better on a bed. Classics, low mileage examples, freshly restored bodywork and anything with an unknown service history all benefit from being carried rather than driven.

Car transport in Smethwick is booked work, not a call out. Knowing the back-to-back terraces and the parking around the Birmingham Canal in advance is what keeps the collection window honest.

Anything that fits on a bed and can be winched or driven on is fine. Tell us the ride height and whether it is a manual or an automatic when you book.

5DeliveryUnloaded at the delivery address, checked again with whoever is receiving it.

What moves the price

Distance: The single biggest factor. Local moves are priced flat, longer runs price per mile once the round trip is worked out.
Whether it runs: A car that drives on takes minutes. A non runner needs the winch and a little more time at both ends.
Access: A wide driveway is quick. A narrow terrace street, a height barrier or an underground bay adds time.
Date flexibility: If you can move a day either way we can often pair the job with another run in the same direction and price it lower.

From Smethwick the usual runs are local drops within West Midlands, deliveries into Oldbury and Birmingham, and longer routes joining the network at M5 J1. Long runs are quoted per mile with the return leg included, so the figure does not change on delivery day.

Access at the Smethwick end

Some of Smethwick loads easily and some does not. Height barriers on back-to-back terraces, permit only bays and narrow terraced streets all need a plan before the day. Tell us the exact door number and any barrier height when you book, and the driver picks the loading point in advance.

Before collection day

Remove loose items and anything valuable
Have the key, or tell us there isn't one
Note any existing damage before collection
