In case anyone else ever needs a car collecting or similar I have used these people to get some good quotes - £140 all in for a 120 mille delivery on a single car transporter.

There is the opportunity for other providers to outbid other peoples offers, as soon as project has been delivered I will give some necessary feedback.

Really?

Problem I have is that most people charge round trip this is only the loaded component of the journey. Other quotes I was being offered were in excess of £200.

In previous projects I have hired a trailer and collected myself but no tow bar at the minute!

So this leads onto a question then does anyone know who can delivery a car from Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire in Wales to Trowbridge (120 miles for less than 140 quid all inclusive.........?

its 140 miles according to multimap, so at 1£ per mile thats a good price. plus £11 for the bridge.

plus for me, its about 15miles from my place to where the car is---i'd be asking £150/160 tbh.

HI Thanks for the reply Stan! I have just been bid £125 on the listed site so I feel that it is not going to be much better than that!

The bidding war by service providers continues! Just been offered collection for £109 by a transporter company! Dont think it is going to be much cheaper!

That is what I used to do but have no towbar since I changed cars.

Plus trailer hire, fuel, severn bridge toll costs make it seem like a respectable deal to me. Latest bid is 100 so for what is about a 250 ish round trip is a reasonable deal to me!
