Vehicle transport for a small village
Car transport from Grafton Underwood is usually about getting a car from one place to another when driving it isn't practical. It might not be taxed, it might not run, or it might simply be too far to drive and then get home again. Rapid Recovery Corby collects from the village and delivers anywhere in the UK, with every move priced up front.
We use open beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters and a van with dollies and skates. Our fleet runs to five-plus vehicles, so we can usually fit your job around the date you need.
Common reasons for booking
- Buying privately. You have found the right car, but it is hours away. We collect it and bring it to your door in Grafton Underwood.
- Selling privately. Your buyer lives elsewhere. We deliver it so the sale goes through without either of you making a long round trip.
- Auction collections. We pick up from auction sites and deliver straight to you.
- Garage and MOT runs. A car without an MOT, or with a fault you would rather not drive on, can go to the garage and back on a truck.
- Classic and prestige cars. Shows, restorers, storage and new owners.
- House moves. If you are moving in or out of the village with more cars than drivers, we take the extra one.
- Dealer and trade work. Dealer deliveries and garage-to-garage moves, with invoicing for regular customers.
How does car transport from Grafton Underwood work?
- Call or WhatsApp 07598 314366 with the collection address, delivery address and vehicle details.
- Tell us if the car runs, and anything unusual such as low ground clearance, flat tyres or a stuck handbrake.
- We give you a fixed price and agree a collection date and time.
- On the day we load and strap the car down, then keep you updated on the way.
- We unload carefully at the other end and place the car where you want it.
Loading on quiet lanes
Most collections in Grafton Underwood happen from a driveway or a roadside outside the house. Where a lane is narrow, we pick a spot where the truck can be seen and won't block others for longer than needed. If your drive is tight or the car doesn't run, our van with dollies and skates can bring it out to the loading point without strain on the car.
If access is unusual, a photo of the driveway or gateway helps us plan ahead.
Open transport only
All our car transport is open transport. We do not offer enclosed transport. Cars travel strapped down on the bed of the truck, and we are insured for goods in transit, public liability and road risks. We work to PAS 43 safety standards and ISO 9001 quality management.
What does it cost?
Every transport job is priced individually and we agree a fixed price before you book. The main things that affect it are:
| What we look at | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Total distance | Fuel and driver time |
| Type of vehicle | Size and weight decide the truck |
| Running or not | Non-runners take more equipment |
| Access at each end | Tight drives and lanes take longer |
| How soon you need it | Short notice can affect scheduling |
We take card, bank transfer or cash, and businesses can be invoiced by arrangement. Our car transport cost guide explains more.
Two cars in one trip
Some of our trucks can carry one car and tow another on a dolly. If you are moving two vehicles, for example a pair bought at auction or two cars in a house move, tell us about both and we will check whether they can travel together. It often saves a second journey.
Looking after classic cars
Older and low cars need patience. Our beavertails tilt down to a gentle loading angle, and we winch slowly so nothing scrapes. We take care with every vehicle, not only the valuable ones.
Getting ready for collection
- Take out personal belongings and anything loose.
- Have the keys, and the locking wheel nut key, to hand.
- Let us know of any warning lights or known faults.
- Give us a contact number for whoever will meet us at the delivery address.
If the car won't start on the morning of collection, don't worry. We can still load it. Our car won't start guide may help you work out why.
