Cheap car transport from NL


Jimblob

Recommended Posts

Thanks. Well I'm looking at a Citroen in the NL and trying to gauge cost to get it over, I have no benchmark except one quote for 800 euros does that sound high?
If I had the time I'd go over in my Bongo and A frame it back.

You know I have a thing for Visas so if it drives I will take you over for you drive it back or if its not a runner I can tow with my Range Rover, we just need to beg steal or borrow a trailer.

I could lend you a trailer Chris but I’m 150 miles in the wrong direction.

They’re only about £60 a weekend to rent, mind (or were), which is the petrol cost to fetch/deliver mine to you.

That's very kind Chris. I'm still pondering the options but time is my main constraint, I have a Mazda bongo and an A frame so I could probably go and get it myself (illegal I know)

Have you contacted any transport services  in The Netherlands?

In amongst this list you can find some.

Write in English. Maybe get a cheap flight and travel with the car back to the UK

I don't know if this one is very cheap. He was a TV presenter and now runs a YT channel about his car transporting business. I feel his lorry is too large for your needs. But I would think he is some one to trust. his email is the about section.

Double check with the ferry company first that they are ok with it being on an A frame. They can have some bloody funny rules as I have found out in the past. Our old VW bus died near the ferry terminal and we had a right game getting it on, they refused to allow it to be towed on with rope or A framed on. In the end we managed to get it running enough to get it on and off thankfully.

A frames are they legal in the countries you wish to cross?

It is difficult in the UK

I feel it is impossible in all or most EU countries. Search and a lot of questions about this subject come up in motorhome forums.

I A frame back/ forth regularly. I’ve only once had an issue, at the French end of the tunnel - but they soon amended their view after a rapid maneuvering demonstration around the car park!

I’ve had no issues since - although I won’t A frame across Germany ( unless it’s dark/ fast!)
