Collecting Vehicles Across Birmingham
Birmingham sits at the heart of the UK motorway network, giving our collection fleet exceptionally quick access via the M6, M5, M42 and M40 to every major export port. This central position means Birmingham often works out cheaper per mile than towns further from the motorway spine, even though it isn't itself a coastal city.
We collect regularly from the city centre's Jewellery Quarter and Digbeth, from suburban areas like Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and Edgbaston, and from the wider Black Country towns of Wolverhampton, Walsall and Dudley that fall within our Birmingham collection radius. Many of these areas combine dense terraced housing with restricted resident parking, so our drivers routinely use nearby retail parks or agreed side streets for larger transporters.
Birmingham's strong trade in used Japanese imports, modified cars and 4x4s means we frequently arrange enclosed transport for higher-value vehicles heading to Southampton, alongside regular RoRo bookings for family cars destined for West Africa via Liverpool. Collection slots are available six days a week given the volume of shipping traffic passing through the city.

How Birmingham Collection Works
1. Confirm collection details
Provide your Birmingham postcode and vehicle details, and we'll match you to a transporter already running the M6/M5 corridor.
2. Condition check on site
Our driver photographs the vehicle from all angles, notes mileage and fuel level, and collects your V5C and any export paperwork.
3. Transfer to port
Vehicles typically travel to Southampton in around 2.5 hours or to Liverpool in under 2 hours from central Birmingham.
4. Port check-in
We handle terminal booking and hand over documentation, then send you confirmation once the vehicle is on-site awaiting loading.

Birmingham Collection FAQs
Is Birmingham further from ports than London or Bristol?
Birmingham is inland, but its motorway position means the drive time to Liverpool or Southampton is often shorter than from coastal towns off the main routes.
Can you collect modified or Japanese import vehicles?
Yes, Birmingham has a strong import and modified car scene, and we regularly arrange enclosed transporters for lowered, wide-arch or high-value vehicles.
Do you cover Wolverhampton and the Black Country as part of Birmingham collection?
Yes, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley and West Bromwich all fall within our standard Birmingham collection radius at no extra charge.
How far in advance should I book a Birmingham collection?
We recommend booking 3-5 working days ahead, though we can often arrange same-week collection depending on transporter availability.
