On the 1st August 2018 all the sleepless nights and planning will see our first truck on the road. This will enable us to transport wider, longer, higher and heavier vehicles whist still maintaining the confidentiality of covered transport. Our specialist Goods in Transit policy will be increased to £250,000 per load and we will be VAT registered.
Why pay more for covered transport?
Firstly, the ever unpredictable British weather! Your vehicle is protected from the elements in our truck. Open top cars and some soft tops needed added protection during inclement weather to stop damage to the interior. Higher value vehicles would also benefit as in particularly windy weather debris can be blown onto vehicles risking chips or damage to the windows or paintwork.
Secondly, privacy and security. When using an open service the vehicle is visable to all increasing the risk of theft after delivery or during breaks throughout the journey. By using a covered service your vehicle is kept hidden from prying eyes. You may have had a slight altercation which you do not want visible during transport or you may just want to keep your collection private.
Lastly, having transported vehicles using both covered trailers and uncovered trailers we have found that, especially when transporting a specialist or classic vehicle on open trailers, other drivers can get quite distracted looking at the vehicle or trying to overtake to get a better look. Accidents can happen and, even if not directly involved, flying debris can cause damage in a collision. By using covered transport this risk is greatly reduced.
