Top Tips for Transporting your Classic Car

Transporting your classic car to an event or exhibition? Read our top tips on how to preserve your precious vehicle and ensure it arrives at its destination in pristine condition.

Insist on the best

Entrusting your car to a stranger is something few owners do lightly, but when that car is a rare and valuable classic you need to take even more precautions before handing it over. You’ll want to be certain your cherished vehicle will be handled with the same care you lavish on it yourself. Begin by looking for a company that specialises in classic vehicle transport and offers a bespoke service for historic vehicles.

Demand a covered car transporter

An open trailer is no place for a classic or vintage car; the risk of stone chips and other accidental damage is too great. For maximum safety and security only custom-built, air-suspended, enclosed classic car transportation vehicles are good enough.

Ask questions

A reputable vehicle transportation company will be happy to discuss your needs in detail and address any concerns you have. When you talk to them, are the staff obviously experienced and well trained? Do you feel reassured that you are dealing with a professional team?

Check the route

However short or long the journey, loading and unloading must be kept to a minimum. Whether you are booking classic car transportation within the UK, or to and from mainland Europe, the vehicle that collects your car should be the same one that delivers it to its destination with no transfers en route. For added peace of mind, ensure that the company you choose uses real time vehicle tracking so it always knows the exact whereabouts of your car.

Examine the details

A classic car might be priceless to its owner, but for practical purposes make sure it will be fully insured to its actual market value. Find out if the company will guarantee its delivery time and supply same day signed proof-of-delivery. If discretion is important to you, can they also guarantee confidentiality?

Get unbiased opinions

Don’t just take a company’s word for the quality of its service. Ask other classic car owners who they would recommend for professional vehicle collection and delivery. Any company proud of its reputation, such as Advatec, will have plenty of checkable testimonials on file.

Taking a little time to choose enclosed vehicle transport that’s exactly right for your classic or vintage car will not only help to preserve its appearance and condition but will remove a lot of stress from your life too!

i dont know how to find the value of a classic vehicle on kelly bluebook?

it only gives me the option to check the value of cars from the 80's to now and the vehicle i need to value is from the 60's. is there a site i can go to to get the blue-book value of an older vehicle? better yet does anyone know what a 1965 Chevy step-side truck is worth? it is unrestored and needs some body work , nothing major, it runs and drives well, it has a 230 straight 6 . the guy who has it is saying its worth 6,500 as it is, does that sound way off?
