Collecting Vehicles Across London
London is the busiest single collection point in our national network, and the M25 orbital motorway makes almost every borough reachable within a two-hour driver slot. Our transporters run daily loops covering Zone 1 through to the outer boroughs, from Croydon and Bromley in the south to Enfield and Barnet in the north, picking up saloons, SUVs, classic cars and light commercials for export.
Congestion Charge and ULEZ zones cover most of inner London, so our collection drivers are ULEZ-compliant and factor charge costs into the quoted price rather than adding surprise fees on the day. Terraced streets in boroughs such as Islington, Hackney and Lambeth often have no off-street parking, so we schedule flatbed or drive-on-drive-off collection at a nearby wide road, resident's bay, or a pre-agreed meeting point to avoid blocking narrow residential streets.
Because London sits within 90 minutes of Tilbury and around two hours of Southampton, it is one of the most cost-efficient cities in the UK for export collection. Vehicles collected in the morning from most London postcodes can reach the port compound the same afternoon, which keeps our clients' vehicles moving quickly into the next available sailing rather than sitting in a holding yard.

London Collection FAQs
Can you collect from a flat or apartment with no parking?
Yes. If your street has no suitable space, we agree a nearby collection point such as a supermarket car park or wide road, which is common practice across inner London boroughs.
Do you charge extra for the ULEZ or Congestion Charge?
No, these are built into your quoted London collection price, and all our transporters are ULEZ-compliant, so there is nothing extra to pay on collection day.
How quickly can a London collection reach the port?
Most London postcodes are within two hours of Tilbury and Southampton, so a morning collection can be checked into the port compound the same day.
Can you collect a non-running or classic car in London?
Yes, we run winch-equipped flatbeds for classic, modified or non-runner vehicles and can arrange careful loading from residential streets or storage garages.
Do I need to be present for the collection?
No, you can nominate someone else to hand over the keys and documents, or we can arrange key collection from an agreed address.
