Car Shipping companies

Post by Lukeh17 »

Hi all,

Due to some personal reasons, I need to move back to the UK from Germany before Christmas. However the car struggled driving back from the UK recently and I'm not sure if I will have time to sort it. I've tried to look for companies that do shipping or will bring the car home but struggling to find one. Can you guys recommend any?

Thanks

Have you looked into just hiring a car transporter and doing it yourself? I'd prefer going that route personally.

Otherwise I think shiply.com and uship.com are probably the best route, transporters bid quotes, have feedback etc

Yes, I did think about doing the car transporter. I've also thought about hiring a van, which my belongings can go into and then a trailer on the back possibly as well.

Just a heads up.
Check your driving licence to make sure you can tow. 94 95 the law changed with the licence and some things where removed.

P.s saw your car at you mums n dads a couple of weeks back. Trust all is well. :good:

Hi Jake,

I've got the car booked in with lizard logistics and he will be bringing the car back for me. Yeah she seems ok but I think there is some ignition problem. On my arrival back to Blighty I will be do a thorough investigation. At the moment got too much on to really go out and have a look!!

How's yours going?
