Vehicles are often stored for weeks or months in garages, compounds or long term storage facilities. At some point, the vehicle may need to move to a different storage location, a new home, or a workshop.

A professional vehicle transport service can move stored cars, vans and motorbikes safely, even if they are SORN, non runners or have been sitting for a long time.

Common reasons vehicles move between storage sites

People book vehicle transport for storage moves when:

• They change storage provider to reduce cost
• They move house and want the vehicle closer
• A classic or project car needs to go to a workshop
• A vehicle is being sold and needs delivery to a buyer
• A car is being stored temporarily during travel or renovation

Why stored vehicles often need transport

Stored vehicles are often:

• SORN or untaxed
• Not insured for road use
• Low on battery or not started for months
• On flat tyres or with seized brakes

In these cases, transport is the safest way to move the vehicle without risk.

Information needed for a storage move quote

• Vehicle make, model and registration
• Runner or non runner status
• Collection and delivery postcodes
• Access information for both storage sites
• Any issues such as flat tyres or locked wheels

Photos can help if access is tight or the vehicle is not rolling freely.

Preparing a stored vehicle for collection

Before collection, it helps to:

• Confirm keys are available on site
• Check tyres if possible
• Clear space around the vehicle
• Make sure the storage site allows truck access

Safe movement for stored vehicles

Moving a stored vehicle is often about careful handling and planning. With a professional vehicle transport company, your car, van or bike can be moved smoothly between storage locations and delivered safely to the next destination.
