Our drivers expect to be on site awaiting a collection no longer than 30 minutes. Waiting time is charged to the booking dealer at a rate of £12.50 + VAT per 30 minute wait after the initial 30 minutes.

Deliver a car PRIME Services – DRIVEN AND TRANSPORTED

Deliver a car PRIME is a guaranteed fast delivery service. We commit that if the distance that the vehicle has to travel is below 150 miles we guarantee that the vehicle will arrive at its destination within 12 working hours of booking (9am-5pm being working hours excluding weekends). If the vehicle does not arrive within the 12-hour period then the movement will be free of charge. If the delivery mileage exceeds 150 miles then we guarantee that the vehicle will arrive at its destination within 16 working hours (9am-5pm being working hours excluding weekends).

DELIVERY OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES

If the vehicle requires a charge en route due to not being able to complete the journey or due to the amount of charge that you want the customer to receive then a waiting time fee of £30.00 + VAT will apply. This fee is NOT associated to the amount of electricity the vehicle requires, it is for WAITING TIME taken for a charge point to become available and the WAITING TIME associated while the vehicle is being charged.

You may find it more economical to have the vehicle transported by Deliver a Car. Your customer will then receive all of the range that was present at collection.
DAMAGE IN TRANSIT

Like most motor trade insurance policies our insurance does not cover punctures, glass damage or damage from road debris. This is deemed to be no fault of Deliver a car as the damage would occur whoever was in charge of the vehicle.

If you would like to cover your movement against damage in transit please tell the office when booking the movement. Charge £10.00 plus VAT per movement. Limit up to £150 per claim.

VEHICLE COLLECTION AND INSPECTION

When you instruct us to move a vehicle we also make a record of the exterior condition on a vehicle condition sheet which both parties sign. All of our drivers are trained to report on a vehicles cosmetic condition.

VEHICLE CONDITION REPORT AND APPRAISAL SERVICES
