Car Transport Service — FAQs
Is a car transport service insured?
Every car transport through Giant Van includes transit insurance covering the full declared value of the vehicle. The driver produces a photographic condition report at collection and delivery. If damage occurs during transit, claims are handled directly by Giant Van, not deferred to a third-party insurer. Proof of insurance is provided on request before collection.
How long does car transport take across the UK?
Most car transport runs within mainland UK take 24 to 48 hours from collection to delivery. Same-day delivery is available within 100 miles of major cities. Cross-country journeys (London to Edinburgh, for example) are typically completed within 48 hours. Express same-day service is available at a supplementary rate for urgent moves.
