Manchester’s Own Car Transport Company
You will not find a more locally rooted car transport service in Greater Manchester. Our base on Cobden Street in Salford puts us within minutes of Manchester city centre, the M60, the M62 and the M6 — giving us direct access to every major motorway in the country.
That local advantage means faster collection times, lower costs for Manchester-area pickups and a team that genuinely knows the city. We navigate Deansgate, Ancoats, Didsbury and Trafford Park as comfortably as we do the M1 to London or the M74 to Glasgow.
Over 10 years in the business has given us working relationships with Manchester’s dealerships, auction houses, restoration specialists and private collectors. Whether you are a first-time customer or a trade client sending us five cars a week, you receive the same level of care and professionalism.
Who Uses Our Manchester Car Transport Service?
Private Vehicle Owners
Bought a car online from a seller in another city? Relocating and do not want to add 300 miles to your odometer? Inherited a vehicle that needs collecting from the other end of the country? Our service takes the stress out of getting your car from A to B.
Car Dealers and Trade Buyers
We work with dealerships and independent traders across Greater Manchester, handling regular stock movements from auctions, trade sales and private purchases. Our multi-car transport service is particularly cost-effective for dealers collecting several vehicles from the same region.
Classic Car Owners and Collectors
Manchester has a thriving classic car community, and we are proud to be the transporter of choice for many local collectors. Our covered, enclosed carriers protect your classic from road debris, weather and unwanted attention during transit — whether it is heading to a concours event, a specialist restorer or a new home.
Supercar and Prestige Vehicle Owners
From the supercars parked in Hale and Alderley Edge to the performance cars at specialist garages across Cheshire, we provide discreet covered transport for high-value vehicles. Your car stays hidden, protected and secure from collection to delivery.
Event and Film Vehicles
We also support vehicle logistics for events, exhibitions and film productions in and around Manchester. If you need vehicles moved to Manchester Central, Event City, or a filming location in the North West, our team handles the scheduling and logistics so you do not have to.
Manchester Car Transport Services
Open Car Transport
The practical choice for everyday vehicles and trade stock. Open transport offers reliable, professional vehicle delivery at competitive rates. Your car is loaded onto a purpose-built multi-car transporter, secured with professional restraints and delivered door-to-door.
Covered Car Transport
Our premium enclosed service for vehicles that deserve the highest level of protection. Covered transport shields your car from the elements, road debris and public view throughout the journey. Hydraulic ramps, air-ride suspension and soft tie-down points come as standard on all our enclosed trailers.
Multi-Car Transport
Need several vehicles moved at once? Our multi-car transport service lets you ship multiple cars on a single booking. This is ideal for dealers, collectors and businesses moving vehicle fleets — and it reduces the per-vehicle cost compared to individual bookings.
Vehicle Storage
Between journeys, our secure vehicle storage facility in Salford provides a safe space for your car. Climate considerations, CCTV monitoring and restricted access protect your vehicle whether you need short-term holding or longer-term storage.
Where Do We Deliver From Manchester?
Based in the centre of the UK’s motorway network, we deliver to every corner of the country — and beyond. Our most popular routes from Manchester include:
- Manchester to London
- Manchester to Birmingham
- Manchester to Glasgow and Edinburgh
- Manchester to Liverpool
- Manchester to Leeds, Sheffield and Yorkshire
- Manchester to Bristol, Cardiff and the South West

Our Salford location gives us a natural head start on journey times compared to transporters based further from the motorway network. That efficiency translates to competitive pricing and reliable delivery windows for our clients.
How It Works
Getting your vehicle collected from — or delivered to — Manchester takes four simple steps:
Get your free quote
Tell us the pickup and delivery postcodes, the vehicle make and model, and whether you would prefer open or covered transport. We quote a fixed, all-inclusive price.
Book your collection
Choose your preferred date and we will lock it in. We offer flexible scheduling including evenings and Saturdays.
We collect your car
Our driver arrives at the agreed time, inspects the vehicle, completes a photographic condition report and loads it onto the transporter.
We deliver door-to-door
Your vehicle arrives at the destination address. A final inspection confirms it has arrived in the same condition it left.
Throughout the process, you have direct contact with our team — not a call centre, not an automated system, but the people who are actually moving your car.
Why Manchester Chooses Manchester Car Movements
We are not a faceless national broker who passes your job to the cheapest subcontractor. We are a Manchester business that owns its own transport equipment, employs its own drivers and takes personal responsibility for every vehicle we move.
That difference shows in the details:
- Your own vehicles, your own drivers — Every transporter on the road is ours. Every driver is part of our team. No subcontracting, no middlemen.
- Fully insured — Comprehensive goods-in-transit cover on every vehicle from the moment it is loaded to the moment it is handed over.
- Condition reports — Detailed photographic inspections at collection and delivery, so there is a clear record of your vehicle’s condition throughout.
- Real communication — Call us and you speak to someone who knows where your car is. We do not hide behind contact forms and ticket numbers.
- 10+ years of proven experience — A decade of safely transporting classics, supercars, trade stock and family cars across the UK and Europe.
What Does Car Transport from Manchester Cost?
We provide fixed-price quotes with no hidden charges. The cost of your transport depends on:
Distance

Transport type
Covered transport costs more than open due to specialist equipment and limited trailer capacity
Vehicle size
Larger or heavier vehicles may carry a small supplement
Scheduling
Standard scheduling offers the best rates; express and priority options are available for time-sensitive moves
Multiple vehicles
Bulk bookings attract discounted per-vehicle rates
We are transparent about pricing because we want you to come back. The price on your quote is the price you pay — no fuel surcharges, no loading fees, no admin charges added later.

Frequently Asked Questions — Car Transport London
How quickly can you collect a car from Manchester?
For local Manchester collections, we can often arrange same-day or next-day pickup depending on availability. Standard bookings usually have a 24–48 hour lead time. If you need an urgent collection, call us directly and we will do everything we can to accommodate your timeframe.
Do you cover all of Greater Manchester?
Yes. We collect from and deliver to every area of Greater Manchester, including Manchester city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton and Wigan. We also cover all surrounding Cheshire and Lancashire postcodes.
Can I use your service for a car I have bought online?
Absolutely. This is one of our most common requests. You buy the car, we collect it from the seller’s address anywhere in the UK and deliver it to your door in Manchester. We handle the inspection paperwork so you have a documented record of the vehicle’s condition at the point of collection.
Do you offer vehicle storage as well as transport?
Yes. Our secure storage facility in Salford is available for short-term and long-term vehicle storage. This is useful if you need your car held between a purchase and a delivery date, or if you are between addresses and need somewhere safe to keep your vehicle.
What is the difference between open and covered transport?
Open transport carries your vehicle on an uncovered multi-car trailer — it is cost-effective and suitable for most everyday vehicles. Covered transport uses a fully enclosed trailer that protects your car from weather, road debris and public view — this is recommended for classics, supercars, concours cars and any vehicle of significant value.
Can you transport my car to Europe from Manchester?
Yes. We provide European car transport from Manchester to destinations across the continent, including France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Monaco. Your vehicle is collected from your Manchester address and delivered door-to-door to the European destination. Contact us for a European transport quote.
