Long distance moves · Solihull B90
Solihull long distance vehicle transport, quoted before you book
Priced per mile with the return leg worked into the figure. Booked days ahead, delivered on an agreed date rather than an agreed hour.
Anyone moving a vehicle beyond the region, where mileage rather than call out time drives the price.
A long run is a full day of a driver and a truck. Booking a week out lets us pair it with a load going the same way, and that pairing is where the saving comes from.
We plan Solihull collections around the A45, which is how the truck reaches most of B90, B91, B92 without fighting the ring road. Solihull is roughly 12 miles from our Oldbury yard.
Delivery is by agreed date with a window confirmed on the morning, because a six hour drive cannot promise a precise hour a week in advance.
How a booking works
- 1Give both ends and a datePostcodes and the week you need it done, ideally with a day of flexibility.
- 2Route and quoteWe price the actual driving route including the return leg and send a fixed figure.
- 3PairingIf we can match a load coming back, you get the lower price rather than us keeping the margin.
- 4Journey dayLoaded in the morning, one driver the whole way, contactable throughout.
- 5ArrivalDelivery window confirmed on the day, condition checked with the receiver.
What moves the price
- Total miles driven
- The round trip, not the one way distance, because the truck has to come home.
- Return load
- A paired job in the opposite direction is the single biggest discount available on a long run.
- Date flexibility
- A fixed date costs more than a flexible week, because pairing needs room to move.
- Vehicle size and state
- A large four by four or a non runner takes more deck space and more loading time.
From Solihull the usual runs are local drops within West Midlands, deliveries into Birmingham and Kings Heath, and longer routes joining the network at M42 J5. Long runs are quoted per mile with the return leg included, so the figure does not change on delivery day.
Access at the Solihull 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 A45 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.

Solihull transport questions
- Is one driver with the car the whole way?
- Yes. No depot transfers and no handing the vehicle to a third party partway. The driver who loads it in Solihull is the driver who unloads it.
- Will a return load make it cheaper?
- Often, yes, and we pass that on. Being flexible by a day or two is what makes the pairing possible in the first place.
- Do you cover Scotland and the far south?
- Yes, mainland Britain throughout. Runs out of Solihull to both ends of the country happen regularly. Around Touchwood shopping centre that is a routine job for us.
- Can a non runner go long distance?
- Yes, it just needs the winch at both ends. Tell us at the booking so the far end is planned rather than improvised.
- How is a long distance move from Solihull priced?
- Per mile on the round trip, with fuel and driver hours built in, quoted as one fixed figure before you commit. The A45 keeps the truck route simple from our side.
