Car Transporter Hire or Company?

leew

Hi all,

I need to mve my non running car from one Garage in Manchester to another in Northwich, Cheshire.

Does anyone know of a cheap way to do this? thinking trailer hire or a special company.

Ask the two garages. Between them they should know of a self employed recovery operator who will appreciate the business.

Could be that the two garages are lockups, and therefore will be unable to answer the question.

Trailer hire from £35 a day round here.

Id say hire a trailer as it would cost less than having it towed for you.

Thanks guys.

Struggling to find a hire place in the North West, rang a recovery place up and they want £141 + vat:(

Anyone know of any places?

No idea how i missed that one mikey72!


Duly :T

Edit: think VAT is NOT included seems like that reading the small print, still a decent price though if thats the case.

You could tow it if it has wheels, use a tow bar, but it requires to be good driver to keep the tow bar straight so you won't need to brake. It may be your towing points on the two vehicles make this difficult to achieve.

Strictly speaking it will need tax & insurance though. Actually there could be a get out of the requirement for tax.... MOT repairs.

Can't tow it wig, engine is not working!
