What Is a Car Transfer Service and How Does It Work?
A car transfer service moves your vehicle from one location to another without you having to drive it yourself. A trained driver or transporter collects the car from a specified address, moves it by road or on a specialist vehicle transport trailer, and delivers it to the destination address you provide.
Trained TeamExperienced Movers
At Giant Van, we operate two main methods of car transfer. The first is a driven transfer, where one of our experienced drivers collects and drives your car to the destination. The second is a transported transfer, where your vehicle travels on an enclosed or open trailer, keeping it off the road entirely. The right choice depends on distance, vehicle type, and your personal preference.
The process is straightforward. You book online or by phone, confirm the collection and delivery addresses, agree a date and time window, and we take care of everything else. You receive confirmation details and can contact us at any point along the way. There is no need for you to be at both ends of the journey, which is particularly useful when buying a car from a private seller or dealer in another part of the country.
Car transfer is a practical solution for classic car owners, new car buyers, business fleet managers, and anyone relocating across the UK. It removes the wear and mileage that a long self-drive adds to a vehicle, and it frees up your time to travel separately.
Car Transfer Costs: What to Expect
The cost of a car transfer in the UK depends on four main factors: the distance between collection and delivery points, the type of transfer method chosen, the size and weight of the vehicle, and the urgency of the booking.
As a general guide, a driven transfer for a standard saloon car over a distance of up to 100 miles typically starts from around £150 to £200.
Longer journeys of 300 miles or more, covering routes such as London to Edinburgh or Cardiff to Aberdeen, tend to range from £300 to £500 depending on logistics and scheduling. Transported car moves on a trailer are priced slightly higher, reflecting the specialist equipment involved.
For larger vehicles such as SUVs, people carriers, or vans, prices increase to account for the additional fuel and handling requirements.
Classic or high-value cars that require enclosed transport attract a premium, and rightly so, given the additional care involved.
Giant Van provides fixed-price quotes before you commit.
There are no hidden fees added after the booking. The quote you receive covers driver labour, fuel, and insurance during transit. If your vehicle requires any special loading equipment or has modifications that affect handling, our team will discuss these with you at the quotation stage.

Car Transfer Pricing Guide
Car transfer prices with Giant Van are fixed before you confirm your booking. As a general guide, short-distance driven transfers of up to 100 miles start from around £150 for a standard saloon car. Mid-range routes of 100 to 250 miles typically fall between £200 and £350. Long-distance journeys of 250 to 500 miles range from £350 to £500 depending on route and scheduling. Trailer-transported vehicle moves start at a small premium above driven transfer prices, reflecting the specialist equipment used. SUVs, estates, and larger vehicles are priced slightly higher than standard saloons. All prices include door-to-door collection and delivery, driver fuel, and goods-in-transit insurance.

Get your exact price7 Tips for a Smooth Car Transfer
8 Tips
Walk around the car and photograph every panel, the wheels, the interior, and the boot from multiple angles. Time-stamp the images. This creates a clear record that protects both you and the transport provider.
Most vehicle transport insurance policies do not cover personal items left in the cabin, so take out anything of value before the driver arrives.
For driven transfers, ensure the tank has at least a quarter of a tank of fuel. Drivers should not need to stop for fuel on your behalf unless agreed in advance.
A basic check reduces the chance of a breakdown during the transfer, which would delay delivery and complicate logistics.
If the car has a sensitive alarm system, provide the fob and any codes to the driver at collection.
A vehicle that cannot be started or steered will require specialist recovery equipment, which adds cost and delays the booking.
Our drivers will call ahead to confirm their arrival window, and being reachable means handovers stay on schedule.

For Scotland, most mainland routes are covered.
Routes north of Inverness and into the Highlands may carry a small additional surcharge to reflect the increased journey time, which our team will confirm at quote stage.
We do not currently offer car transfer to Northern Ireland or the Scottish islands as standard, as these require ferry bookings that need individual arrangement.

Fleet managers and car dealerships can contact our commercial team for tailored rates.

Alternatives to a Professional Car Transfer
6 Tips
Understanding the alternatives helps you make the right choice for your situation.
It costs only fuel and your time, but it adds mileage to the clock, requires you to be at the collection point, and means arranging a return journey. For long distances of 300 miles or more, the time and fatigue involved are significant, particularly if you are also managing a house move or a business relocation.
However, your vehicle will still accumulate the mileage, and your nominated driver needs to be covered under your insurance policy. Checking this before the journey is essential to avoid invalidating your cover.
Your vehicle is loaded onto a multi-car transporter and moved with several others. This is cost-effective per vehicle but offers less flexibility on timing and routing, and your car is exposed to road debris and weather during transit.
Giant Van provides both options and can advise which suits your specific journey.
Driven Car Transfer vs Trailer Vehicle Transport: Which Is Right for You?
5 Tips
The right choice depends on your vehicle and priorities.
A qualified Giant Van driver collects your car and drives it to the delivery address. This adds mileage to the odometer, typically 100 to 500 miles depending on route. It suits everyday cars, recent-model vehicles, and situations where cost is the primary concern.
No miles are added to the clock. This is the preferred choice for classic cars, prestige vehicles, modified cars, and any situation where preserving the vehicle's mileage record matters. It is also better suited to vehicles with mechanical issues that make driving them inadvisable.
For valuable, collectible, or low-mileage vehicles, trailer transport is worth the additional investment.
Our team will recommend the best method for your vehicle and journey when you request a quote on 020 3129 6180.
Car transfer and vehicle transport are two phrases that describe the same practical need: getting a car from one place to another without driving it yourself.
At Giant Van, we handle both driven transfers and trailer transport, giving you a choice of method depending on your vehicle type, distance, and budget.
Our national coverage means we operate routes across England, Scotland, and Wales, with door-to-door service as standard on every booking.
Getting your car transfer booked is quick and simple.
Call 020 3129 6180 to speak with our team directly, or use the online quote form to receive a fixed-price response within two hours.
We cover the full UK mainland and offer both driven and transported vehicle options.
If you are a private buyer, a dealer, or relocating for work, Giant Van has a straightforward solution for your car transport needs.

Car Transfer Services Across the UK — FAQs
How much does a car transfer cost in the UK?
Car transfer costs in the UK depend on distance, vehicle size, and transfer method. As a guide, a driven transfer for a standard car over 100 miles starts from around £150. Longer routes of 300 to 500 miles typically range from £300 to £500. Giant Van provides fixed-price quotes with no hidden fees. Call for an exact figure based on your specific journey.
What is the difference between car transfer and vehicle transport?
Car transfer typically refers to a driven service where a qualified driver collects and drives your vehicle to the delivery address. Vehicle transport usually refers to moving a car on a trailer or transporter without it being driven. Both achieve the same result: your car moves from collection to delivery without you driving it. Giant Van offers both options across the UK mainland.
Is my car insured during a Giant Van car transfer?
Yes. Giant Van carries goods-in-transit insurance that covers your vehicle while it is in our care during a car transfer. This protects against accidental damage that occurs during the journey. We recommend confirming the exact coverage limits with our team at the booking stage, particularly for high-value, classic, or modified vehicles that may benefit from additional specialist cover.
How far in advance do I need to book a car transfer?
We recommend booking your car transfer at least 48 to 72 hours in advance to secure your preferred collection date and time slot. For urgent or same-day transfer requests, contact us directly on and we will advise on availability. Peak periods such as bank holidays and end-of-month dates book up quickly, so earlier booking is advisable during those times.
Do I need to be present when my car is collected or delivered?
You or a nominated representative must be present at both collection and delivery. At collection, you hand over the keys and complete a vehicle condition check with the driver. At delivery, you inspect the car before signing the receipt. This protects both parties and ensures any concerns are noted immediately. If you cannot attend in person, a trusted adult representative can act on your behalf.
Can Giant Van transport a non-running or damaged car?
Yes, in most cases. Non-running or damaged vehicles cannot be moved on a driven transfer but can be transported on a trailer with specialist loading equipment. When booking, tell our team that the vehicle is non-operational so we can arrange the correct equipment and quote accordingly. Additional charges may apply for vehicles requiring winching or specialist ramp access. Call to discuss your specific situation.
Will a car transfer add mileage to my vehicle?
A driven car transfer will add the journey mileage to your odometer, as the car is driven to its destination. If preserving your vehicle's mileage record is important, choose our trailer transport option instead. This moves the car on an enclosed or open transporter without it being driven at all. Giant Van offers both methods and can advise which is most appropriate for your vehicle and circumstances.
Does Giant Van cover the whole of the UK for car transfer?
Giant Van covers the entire UK mainland for car transfer and vehicle transport, including England, Scotland, and Wales. This includes rural and remote postcodes, not just major city routes. Routes into the Scottish Highlands may carry a small additional charge. We do not currently offer standard car transfer to Northern Ireland or the Scottish islands, but contact us on to discuss individual arrangements.
