All our carriers are verified and qualified as high quality. To choose between the parties, we recommend that you carefully read the quote or response. Please note:

• Don't just look at the price
• Is the quote inclusive or exclusive of VAT?
• Look at the experience of the party
• Is the offer realistic?
• What is included in the price? And what isn't?
• What are the payment terms?
• Does the company have the right expertise? Car transport requires very different skills and permits than, say, refrigerated transport.

Try to clear up any possible doubts with the carrier in advance before agreeing to an offer.
