Require vehicle recovery service, Czech republic – UK

Can someone please recommend or direct me to a car transportation company who can collect my car from Czech Republic back to the UK?

I have tried 2 – 3 companies who specialise in collecting cars from Europe on open transporters but the quotes vary from £1250 - £2200, I am looking to spend a considerable amount lower. I have also tried some brokering websites where companies can place bids but I have not had any replies yet.

Thank you in advance

    not cheaper to collect and drive?
  • I actually drove my car there but didn’t realise it would take as long as it did. It’s easier if I transport it back & it would mean not worrying about wear & tear on the vehicle.
