Not every vehicle is used all year round. Classic cars, convertibles, performance cars and specialist vehicles are often stored during winter or only brought out for the warmer months.

A professional vehicle transport service can move seasonal vehicles between home and storage without adding unnecessary mileage or exposing them to poor weather.

Why owners use seasonal vehicle storage

Seasonal storage is popular for vehicles such as:

• Classic cars
• Convertibles
• Performance and sports cars
• Show cars
• Motorbikes
• Vehicles used only for events or weekends

Keeping these vehicles in secure storage can protect them from bad weather, road salt and long periods outside.

Why transport instead of driving to storage

Using vehicle transport can help avoid:

• Driving in poor winter weather
• Road salt and dirt
• Unnecessary mileage
• Stone chips and road damage
• Driving a vehicle that has been stored for months without inspection

Moving a vehicle into winter storage

Before the colder months, owners may transport the car directly from home to a secure storage facility. This is especially useful for vehicles that are valuable, recently detailed or rarely driven.

The vehicle can then remain protected until the owner is ready to use it again.

Bringing the vehicle back after storage

After several months in storage, the vehicle may need basic checks before normal use. Batteries can lose charge, tyre pressures may drop and brakes may need inspection.

Transporting the car back home or directly to a garage allows these checks to happen before a longer road journey.

What to provide when booking

For seasonal vehicle transport, provide:

• Vehicle make and model
• Collection and storage postcodes
• Preferred collection date
• Whether the vehicle is low or modified
• Storage facility opening hours
• Any access instructions

Transport can work both ways

Owners can arrange transport into storage at the end of the season and transport back home when they are ready to use the vehicle again.

This makes seasonal ownership easier and keeps the vehicle protected during periods when it is not being driven.
