I'm looking to have a fully working car picked up near Berlin and transported to Surrey.
Would anyone have a recommendation on where to contact to try and arrange this?
Cheers.

Contact the Car Barn, and say Chas sent you.
Is the car driveable? Since Brexit, moving cars on transporters has become trickier for most outfits. The main one being that anything above 3.5t (which it will be with almost any car on a transporter) will require an o-licence, which is far more admin than you'd think to manage (I used to be a transport bod for a company, and deal with these day in, day out).

Is driving it back yourself a valid option?
Just checked a map. 1200ish km. We purchased one of my wife's cars from considerably further away than that and got my then teenage son to collect and deliver it for us. Admittedly no international borders were involved but how big a complication is that?

Without a European passport, our right to drive abroad a non hired car became alot harder. Insurance, seeing an insurance company who will insure you etc. The last two times I've gone abroad, I've had to insure myself onto friends cars, especially with UK plated cars now being stopped more in certain parts of Europe. Yes, you can drive it and wing it, but that's your risk. |

Actually, I am looking for car shipping from one state to another. I found one Car Ship Company and most likely I will not look for more. I have great hope that the car will be in the same condition with the same data as in the photo. I don't really want to pay for delivery back |
