Car Delivery Service UKDriven, Insured & Nationwide
We collect your vehicle, inspect it and deliver it where it needs to go — with around 95% of movements driven on trade plates.
Rapid Vehicle Delivery is based in the East Midlands and handles private car purchases, dealer stock, fleet movements, auction collections, vans and commercial vehicles across mainland UK. Driven deliveries include condition reporting and up to £60,000 comprehensive cover.
One vehicle delivery service, several real-world jobs
A vehicle movement can be a private purchase from another city, a dealership transfer, an auction collection or a commercial vehicle that needs to reach another site. The important part is choosing the right delivery method for the vehicle before it moves.
Bought or sold a car?
We can collect from the seller, dealer or auction house and deliver directly to the destination.
Dealer stock to move?
Customer deliveries, part-exchanges, stock transfers and repeat movements can all be handled on contract.
Van or commercial vehicle?
Suitable vans, light commercials and vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes can be delivered by road.
Vehicle cannot be driven?
For non-runners, unroadworthy vehicles or mileage-sensitive cars, we can arrange transported delivery.
A vehicle delivery business built around inspection, not just transport
Rapid Vehicle Delivery is run by Darryl Bosworth, with 15 years of experience in vehicle inspection and delivery. That background shapes the service: the vehicle is checked before it moves, visible condition is recorded and the correct movement method is chosen before the booking is treated as routine.
Some online delivery platforms work as marketplaces, where jobs may be fulfilled by different third-party drivers or transport providers. Rapid Vehicle Delivery keeps the service focused on vehicle movements, with driven delivery on trade plates at the centre of the operation.
For suitable roadworthy vehicles, driven delivery can be a practical and cost-effective alternative to transported delivery. For vehicles that should not be driven, we arrange transport through established partners instead of forcing the wrong method.
The right service for the vehicle you need moved
Each service has its own dedicated page so the homepage can stay focused on the wider car delivery service while still sending users and search engines into the right specialist topic.

The service is designed around the vehicle itself. Before a driven movement starts, we need to understand the collection point, destination, roadworthiness, MOT status, access and any handover instructions.
Four clear stages from price to handover
The process stays deliberately simple, whether it is one private car or a repeat trade movement.

Driven or transported vehicle delivery?
There is no reason to pay for a transporter when driven car delivery is suitable — and no reason to drive a vehicle that legally or practically belongs on a transporter.
Driven · core service
Driven on trade plates
- Suitable for roadworthy vehicles with the required MOT status.
- Adds the journey mileage to the vehicle.
- Can be quicker and more cost-effective for everyday movements.
- Car delivery from £70 + VAT (£84 including VAT).
- Up to £60,000 comprehensive cover on driven deliveries.
Transported · when needed
Delivered on a transporter
- Suitable for non-runners or unroadworthy vehicles.
- Useful when preserving mileage matters on classics or low-mileage cars.
- Required where the vehicle cannot legally be driven.
- Transported delivery from £150 + VAT plus mileage.
- Arranged through established transport partners.
Trade plate rules still apply. Trade plates do not make an unroadworthy vehicle legal to drive. For official requirements, see the DVLA trade licence plate guidance.
Know the pricing structure before you enquire
Car delivery is priced around the route and vehicle type, with the per-mile rate reducing on longer journeys. The calculator is the quickest way to get a route-specific driven-delivery figure.
Private customers, dealerships, fleets and auctions
The homepage serves both consumer and trade intent without pretending they are the same job. Each customer type has different priorities, but the movement still needs clear booking information, suitable insurance and an accountable handover.
Private Buyers & Sellers
Bought a car several counties away, sold one to a distant buyer or need a vehicle moved during a relocation? We can collect and deliver between the two addresses.
Dealers & Traders
Customer deliveries, part-exchange collections, stock transfers and repeat trade movements without building the job around transporter load schedules.
Fleet & Leasing
De-fleet collections, driver changeovers, contract movements and regular vehicle logistics for operational fleets.
Auction Buyers
Vehicle collection from an auction house with delivery to a home, business address or forecourt.
