Vehicle transport from a valley village

Car transport from Harringworth takes a little more planning than a pick-up on a town street. The village lies in the Welland valley on the Rutland border, reached by narrow lanes, so we think about access before we arrive. Rapid Recovery Corby collects and delivers cars, vans, 4x4s and motorbikes using beavertail tilt-and-slide transporters, anywhere in the UK.

What do people use our car transporter for?

People in and around Harringworth book us for:

• Delivering a car to a buyer after a private sale, or collecting one you have bought.
• Bringing an auction purchase straight home.
• Taking a car to a garage for an MOT or repairs, and back again.
• Moving a classic, prestige or competition car to a show, restorer or new owner.
• Relocating a spare car when you move house.
• Shifting a non-runner that has sat in a barn or garage for years.
• Dealer deliveries and garage-to-garage moves for the trade.

Collecting from narrow lanes and farm yards

Many properties around Harringworth have long drives, gates or yards that need care. When you book, tell us about the access: the width of the lane, any tight turns, overhanging trees, gravel or soft ground, and whether there is room to turn. If a full-size transporter can't get right up to the car, our van with dollies and skates can move it to a point where we can load safely.

We never load on a stretch of lane where it would put us or other drivers at risk. If needed, we will agree a safer spot nearby.

Cars that have been laid up

A car stored for a long time often has flat tyres, a seized handbrake or brakes that have stuck on. None of that stops us. We use a winch to pull non-runners onto the bed, and skates under wheels that won't turn. Let us know what you expect so we bring the right kit first time.

Classic and competition cars

Low cars and cars with long overhangs need a gentle loading angle, which is what a beavertail gives. We load slowly, strap the car securely and drive with care all the way. We are honest about one thing: all our transport is open. We do not offer enclosed transport, so if you need a covered trailer we are not the right choice.

How is car transport from Harringworth priced?

Each move is priced on its own and you get a fixed price before you book. The main things that shape it are:

1. The total distance from collection to delivery.
2. The size and weight of the vehicle.
3. Whether it runs, steers and brakes.
4. How easy it is to load and unload at each end.
5. How soon you need it done.

We take card on the day, bank transfer or cash, and set up invoicing for regular business customers. See our car transport cost guide for more on pricing.

Moving two vehicles

Some of our trucks can carry one car and tow a second on a dolly. If you are clearing two cars from a property, or a dealer needs a pair delivered, tell us about both and we will see if they can go in one trip.

Insurance and standards

We hold goods in transit, public liability and road risks insurance, and we work to PAS 43 and ISO 9001. Your car is in the hands of a team that treats it carefully, from loading through to the moment it is placed at the delivery address.

Preparing the car

• Take out personal belongings and anything loose.
• Leave the keys and locking wheel nut key with the car, or hand them to us.
• Tell us about any warning lights, leaks or flat tyres.
• Share contact details for whoever will receive the car.
• If the battery is weak, see our car won't start guide before collection day.

Crossing the Rutland border

Harringworth sits right on the edge of Rutland, so plenty of our moves from here start in one county and finish in another, or much further afield. That makes no difference to how we work. The price is fixed before you book, whether the car is going to a garage just over the border or to the other end of the country.

How to book

Call or WhatsApp 07598 314366 with both addresses, the vehicle details and the date you have in mind. A couple of photos of the car and the access save time. We confirm the fixed price and the collection window, then keep you updated until the car arrives.
