Planned collection and delivery

Vehicle Transport in Hampshire and Across the UK

Pre-arranged transport for cars, vans, motorcycles and non-running vehicles.

Vehicle transport is the planned movement of a vehicle from one known address to another. It is suitable for auction purchases, dealer collections, private sales, project cars, non-runners, garage transfers and vehicles being moved without adding road mileage. AtWheel arranges collections across Hampshire and can review longer UK routes when both addresses and the vehicle details are available.

A transport booking is easiest to organise when the collection contact, release procedure and receiving address are confirmed in advance. We also need to know whether the vehicle starts, drives, rolls and steers, because a running roadworthy car may be loaded differently from a non-runner or damaged vehicle.

When this service is useful

  • Dealer, auction and private-sale collections
  • Cars being delivered to a buyer, garage or specialist
  • Non-runners and project vehicles
  • Classic, performance and low-clearance vehicles subject to assessment
  • Motorcycles requiring secure planned transport
  • Fleet, trade and multi-job movements arranged in advance

Planning a smooth vehicle collection

Provide complete collection and delivery addresses, including business names, unit numbers, postcodes and contact telephone numbers. Auction sites, compounds and dealerships may require a collection reference, buyer number, release code or appointment window.

Describe the vehicle as it is now, not as it was when advertised. Confirm whether it starts, drives, rolls, steers and brakes, and whether the keys and locking-wheel-nut key are present. If the condition is uncertain, photographs or a short video can prevent the wrong equipment being sent.

The receiving location must be ready for the vehicle. Check opening hours, parking restrictions, access width and whether somebody authorised to accept the handover will be present. If the destination is a garage, confirm that it has agreed to receive the vehicle.

Vehicle Transport questions

These answers are general. The live vehicle, position and access still need to be checked.

Can you collect a car I have bought online?

Yes, provided the seller or site has authorised release and you can supply the complete collection and delivery details.

Does the vehicle need to run?

No. Non-runners can be transported, but the rolling, steering, braking and access conditions must be known before collection.

Can you transport a car over a long distance?

Longer UK routes can be reviewed when both addresses, vehicle details and preferred dates are supplied.

Can you collect from an auction or dealer?

Yes. Include the buyer reference, release code, opening hours and an authorised collection contact.

Can I travel with the vehicle?

Passenger carriage is not automatically included and must never be assumed. Discuss any specific requirement before booking.
