Vehicle transport in Cottingham
Vehicle transport in Cottingham is about getting a car from A to B without driving it. Maybe it is untaxed, uninsured, unfinished or just too far away. Rapid Recovery Corby uses beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters to move cars carefully, and we travel UK-wide.
Cottingham sits on the A427 between Corby and Market Harborough, which makes it an easy pick-up point for runs in either direction.
What people in Cottingham book us for
Buying a car
Bought a car from a private seller or a dealer some distance away? We collect it and bring it to your door. You don't need to arrange insurance or tax before it arrives.
Selling a car
If your buyer is out of the area, or the car isn't road legal, we deliver it for you. Private sale pick-ups and drop-offs are a regular part of our work.
Auctions
We collect from auctions and deliver straight to Cottingham, or anywhere else in the country.
Dealers and garages
We do dealer deliveries and garage-to-garage moves for local businesses. Regular customers can arrange business invoicing.
MOT and repair runs
If your car has failed its MOT or isn't safe to drive, we take it to the garage and back.
Classic and prestige cars
We are careful with every car, and particularly with classics. The low loading angle of a beavertail helps with low front ends and long overhangs.
Moving two cars at once
Some of our trucks can carry one car and tow a second on a dolly. That suits house moves, two-car households, and dealers moving a pair of vehicles. Tell us about both cars when you call and we will say whether they can travel together.
Non-runners
A non-runner can still be transported. If the wheels are seized or the car is tucked in a tight garage, our van with dollies and skates can get it into a position to load. Let us know whether the car steers and brakes, as it changes how we load it.
What does car transport from Cottingham cost?
Every car transport job is priced on its own. The main factors are:
| Factor | Effect on price |
|---|---|
| Distance | Longer journeys cost more |
| Vehicle condition | Non-runners take longer to load |
| Vehicle type | Larger vans and 4x4s need the right truck |
| Access | Tight or steep sites need more care |
| Timing | Urgent moves depend on availability |
We agree a fixed price before you book. You pay by card on the day, bank transfer or cash. See the car transport cost guide for more.
Open transport only
We use open transport only. Your car is strapped securely on the back of the truck. We do not provide enclosed transport. We are insured for goods in transit, public liability and road risks.
A note on the A427
Cottingham's main road is steep and bendy, so we don't load cars on the hill itself if we can avoid it. We'll agree a safe spot for collection, often a driveway or side street. If your driveway is steep, tell us and we'll plan around it.
How booking works
Call or WhatsApp 07598 314366 with both addresses, the vehicle details and when you need it moved. Sending a few photos of the car and the collection point helps. We confirm a fixed price, book a slot that works for you, and keep you updated on the day. At the other end, we unload carefully and leave the car where you want it.
Why customers trust us with their cars
We are PAS 43 accredited and ISO 9001 certified, so our loading and securing follow set procedures. We take our time strapping cars down, protect low bodywork when loading, and always answer the phone if you want an update during the journey.
Preparing for collection
- Have the keys and any locking wheel nut key ready.
- Take out personal items.
- Mention flat tyres, warning lights or a stuck handbrake.
- Give us the delivery address and a contact at the other end.
If the car won't start on collection day, the car won't start guide has a few quick checks.
Other services and nearby areas
