Depends on what sort of quality of turd that you are moving,but base costs of operating a car transporter will be in the area of £1.50pm.....

You're better off speaking to a private car recovering firm / individual in Manchester.

I recently had a car collected from central London and delivered to over 100 miles away for £120.

A lot of the shiply people are working on building up a feedback profile on the site - so they've only got half an eye on making any money at this stage. Some of the quotes I've had (and used) wouldn't even cover the fuel bill of driving the festering drama chariot in question to the delivery address :D

Update : Shipley proved decent
quotes ranged between £190 -£300
Clean 3100 less than teh best local and anyvan.com quote

£190 it was and thank you for the recommendations
