European transport services Car Collection Services were one of the early players in the personal import market of recent years, collecting cars for a wide range of customers and carrying out the full DVLA registration procedure. Most of our clients entrusted to us the entire delivery process, from initial collection of a car anywhere in Europe, registration with the DVLA, supply and fit of vehicle number plates, a pre delivery valet and the final hand over of the car to the end user. The full process takes typically two to three working weeks from our receiving the order to final delivery of a fully registered vehicle. UK transport, storage and distribution The UK operation has nearly 60 years experience of moving all types of vehicles all over the UK. With a larger fleet than the European operation, we have the capacity to cater for all of your needs. Customers need not have the expense of maintaining their own compound with our large storage facilities in Chester and London, providing safe and secure storage with full insurance included, yours to use as and when you require. Our aim is to achieve the highest standards of care and quick turnaround schedules, yet keeping our prices competitive so that our customers can easily maximise their profits. Vehicle Collection and Delivery We have vehicles operating all over the UK and into France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Ireland. We can arrange collection for any volume of vehicles. Prices can be given per vehicle loaded or per truck. Trucks and drivers are also available for hire from us on a daily or weekly basis. Our Fleet Our fleet of over 20 transporters can handle all of your needs. We have transporters for any event, from single car movements to full loads of twelve cars on one truck. Our vehicles are regularly maintained at our own workshop facility in Chester, all to the manufacturer standards.

Trade Plate Deliveries Our team of experienced trade plate drivers can collect and deliver single vehicles anywhere in the UK. Secure Storage Facilities in Chester and London Colney. Our facilities have security systems in place and all cars are fully insured whilst in our care. DVLA Import and Registration Service We know how registering a newly imported car can be a minefield. With a little information from you we can handle all aspects of registration. It usually takes just a few days, and you won't have to stand in a queue at your local DVLA office just to be confused by the jargon. Check our resources and faq pages for some useful information. Valeting and Pre-Delivery Inspections When a car is to be delivered to an end user, a pre-delivery valet ensures the car is delivered in showroom condition. We are also able to perform pre-delivery inspections to the same exacting standards than if it were carried out by a dealership. Tracking System A 'state of the art' vehicle tracking system linked to our office computers ensures that we always know exactly where our trucks are at any time, which enables us to keep our customers upto date with their delivery schedules… Competitive Rates We have always strived to provide the best possible service at the lowest cost. Our keen prices are available to the general public as well as traders, but substantial discounts are available for bulk movements. Insurance We carry full goods in transit insurance which will cover loss or damage in any event, whether a vehicle is in storage at one of our compounds or loaded on a truck (including when the truck is on a ship). It is always worth checking that any carrier has goods in transit insurance. Many companies run without insurance unless specified by the client.
