Planned car transport for Stourbridge
Booked in advance, loaded on a flatbed, delivered to the address you give us. You pick the day, we confirm a collection window and a price that does not move afterwards.
Private buyers and sellers moving a car between addresses on a chosen date.
Driving a newly bought car home on trade plates or a day of insurance is the cheap option until something goes wrong. Transport removes the mileage, the wear and the risk of a long motorway run in a car you have not lived with yet.
Stourbridge sits in Dudley MBC across DY7, DY8, DY9, and most car transport bookings here start on a residential street rather than a yard. Around Amblecote glass quarter the approach is usually straightforward, so a collection window is easy to hold.
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.

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 Stourbridge the usual runs are local drops within West Midlands, deliveries into Halesowen and Brierley Hill, and longer routes joining the network at M5 J3. Long runs are quoted per mile with the return leg included, so the figure does not change on delivery day.
Access at the Stourbridge end
Before the day we check whether a long deck truck can reach the address. If it cannot, we agree a nearby loading point on A491 or a side street with room, and move the vehicle the last few yards. Multi storey car parks almost always need this, because the clearance is below truck height.
Before collection day
- Leave roughly a quarter tank of fuel, no more
- Remove loose items and anything valuable
- Have the key, or tell us there isn't one
- Note any existing damage before collection
- Make sure someone can receive the car at the other end
- · Written quote before you commit
- · Collection and delivery condition notes
- · Photographs at both ends on request
- · Named driver and a contact number for the day
Stourbridge transport questions
- 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. Around Amblecote glass quarter that is a routine job for us.
- Can two cars go on one booking?
- Two cars from the same Stourbridge address to the same destination can often be paired across two runs on the same day, which usually prices better than two separate jobs.
- How far ahead should I book car transport in Stourbridge?
- Two to seven days is typical for a Stourbridge collection, and we can often do the same week. The A491 keeps the truck route simple from our side. If you have a fixed handover date, book as soon as it is agreed and we will hold the slot.
- 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 Stourbridge Industrial Estate.
- Can you collect from a Stourbridge address if I am not there?
- Yes, provided someone can hand over the key or it has been left somewhere agreed in writing. Around Amblecote glass quarter 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.
