Moving vehicles

What does anybody think?

Is there a business opportunity in transporting vehicles around the country, i've got a trailer with long low ramps and winch.

I could tow with a van or 4x4 and even a motorhome is long enough journey requiring stop over (Europe).

Insurance could be arranged as i've already got a business fleet policy which includes my single soop (fully comp, any driver).

Sounds good but would people pay?

Sure, there's a black MKIV with black wheels outside JamieP's house, could you bring it up here for me, cash on arrival

Does this look like the right key Jay?

There is certainly a market for it, but the professional guys that do this full time are not wealthy ones It's a very competitive market.

However, if it was a bit of part time work for a few specialist jobs you could certainly make a bit of extra cash on the side.

I had several offers from European buyers for my single and all but one wanted it delivered to a local port, I would have been happy to pay someone else for the hassle, maybe hitting all the Jap clubs as a trader offering this service would bring in some nice leads, my car ended up with a buyer from Finland and I would not have wanted to drive it there !

Yeah that'll do, but I'll have to knock the price down if there's any damage to the door

Oh i'm good it'll be full price cash only, used notes

I'll do a direct transfer to your account in Switzerland

Use the normal account number

Alot of importers would use a service like this as well. I've had to trailer two cars from importers before. But as stated earlier the costs associatted with fuel etc mean you aren't getting a great deal in hourly rates

According to a mate who does it for a living with a proper recovery truck, if you do it for hire and reward youll need a tachograph fitted to the tow vehicle. I looked into doing this and bought a Landcruiser to do it with but then he told me about the tacho requirement, doh !!

I guess you know but just incase, dont forget about the towing capacities of the towing vehicle, 4x4's vary by quite a bit on what they can legally tow hence i bought the cruiser as thats got a train weight of 6500 kgs so no problems with the heaviest cars even on a tri axle trailer

All the best

I think there is money to be made from this. If you advertised as being able to carry a lowered / modified cars then you have to be on to a winner. As above you may not make a million from it but as a cash in had job it's got £££ written all over it I say.
