Midlands
Vehicle transport in Birmingham and the Midlands
The Midlands sits at the centre of almost every UK route we run. We collect and deliver across Birmingham, the Black Country, Coventry and the wider M6 and M42 network.
The country's busiest trade region
More vehicles change hands in the Midlands than anywhere else in the UK, and the density of auction houses, dismantlers, prep centres and independent forecourts means a car can pass through three sites before it reaches a customer. We handle those hops as single bookings or as batched runs on one journey.
Clean Air Zone and city-centre access
Birmingham's Clean Air Zone covers the area inside the A4540 ring road and charges non-compliant vehicles daily. We route around it wherever possible; where a delivery address sits inside the zone and a charge applies, it is passed on at cost plus admin and itemised in the estimate rather than buried in the total. Jewellery Quarter and city-centre apartment deliveries are usually best handled on trade plates rather than a trailer.
Typical Midlands journeys
- Birmingham to Manchester and Liverpool — short M6 runs, frequently same or next day
- Birmingham to London and the South East — standard next-day delivery
- Coventry, Wolverhampton, Leicester, Derby and Nottingham local transfers
- Auction-to-forecourt runs from BCA Birmingham and Aston Barclay
Dealers and traders
Midlands dealers moving stock weekly usually run a trade account with fixed rates on their repeat routes, combined with site-to-site transfers and customer handover deliveries on the same invoice.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you charge extra for Birmingham's Clean Air Zone?
- Birmingham's CAZ applies to non-compliant vehicles entering the city centre ring road. Where a charge is unavoidable we pass it on at cost plus a small admin fee, and it is shown as a separate line in your estimate.
- Which Midlands auction sites do you collect from?
- We collect regularly from BCA Birmingham, Aston Barclay and the salvage and independent sites clustered around the M6, M42 and Black Country.
- How quickly can you get a car from Birmingham to the North West?
- It is a short M6 run, so next-day delivery is standard and same-day is often possible on morning bookings.
