Choosing the method

Common questions

Car delivery service Leeds questions answered

These answers cover collection times, local pickups, MOT rules, auctions, commercial vehicles and coverage for Leeds car delivery.

How quickly can you collect a car in Leeds?

Collection in Leeds can often be arranged within a day or two, and sometimes sooner, depending on the route and availability. We confirm the collection window before booking, as part of our car collection and delivery service.

Can you move a student car home from Leeds?

Yes. A student car is collected from a Leeds address and driven to the home postcode on trade plates when it is roadworthy with a valid MOT, priced on the road miles between the two.

Can you deliver a car from Leeds without an MOT?

Yes, on a transporter. Trade plates cover the tax but not the MOT, so a car without a valid MOT is not driven unless a legal exception applies. Our guide to trade plates, MOT and insurance explains the rules.

Yes. We collect lots won at auction sites around Leeds once the auction releases them, and deliver them to your home or forecourt anywhere in mainland UK. Our auction collection and delivery page covers the process.

Yes. Vans and vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes are driven on trade plates when roadworthy, on the same road mile rates as a car. Read more about commercial vehicle delivery and 7.5 tonne vehicle delivery.

Can you bring a second vehicle back from Leeds?

Yes. The return vehicle option in our calculator adds a second vehicle on the same route for £40 plus the same distance charge, so a swap or a part exchange is priced as one job.

Yes. We deliver from Leeds to any address in mainland England, Scotland and Wales, but not to Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland. The areas we cover page lists the cities with their own page.

Do you handle regular dealer and fleet work in Leeds?
