Hi :typing

Has anyone taken their car and/or motorbike with them.

If so how did you get them there???

Has anyone put their car on a roll-on/roll off??

Would it all fit into a 40ft?

Do freight prices alter by region?


How much should we budget for the lot??? :wah

Sooooo many questions!!! Plesae help me? :oops:

Baboonworld.

We won't be taking cars but hubby wants to take his precious kwaki GPZ 550.

We think we might need a 40ft but the shippers usually tell you what you need.

This is just the vehicles - not the household stuff obviously (which going from some threads might be about £3500?)

Hoping it might be cheaper to bang it all in together in a 40ft - if anyone does it?

No its not

We brought a 20ft container completely full (it seems mostly of paperwork LOL) of household stuff and a 40ft with two cars and about 1/4 full of remainder of household stuff. Total cost ex insurance £5600. Quoted around Jan 2005 so will have gone up a bit de to Oil price but can't believe it's that much.

We also had separate quotes from diff co.s of £2700 for the cars and £3k for a 20ft -so comparable
