Any recommendations for covered car transport?

Close to agreeing purchase of an X3 30d but would need the car transported from Hamilton to Southampton. Dealer has provided a quote for their transporter but I’d like to compare options.

Is it from a BMW dealership?
If it is, go to your local dealer & tell them you want them to get it for you to buy. It won't cost you anything then. Neither should it in the first place IMO.
That's what I did anyway when I bought my current car. It was in BMW Brighton, so BMW Wakefield got it for me. Simples.

Thank you for the tip.

Yeah if a dealership wants to sell you any AUC, they should be forking out for transport IMO.

If they want the sale, they can be the ones bending over backwards, you shouldn't.
And if you don't buy it then it's not your money lost if it turns out to be not for you.

Thank you, your advice is much appreciated. Currently negotiating a deal🤞

Have a look at Shiply and you’ll get some quotes.

Thank you. Got some quotes from Shiply but got a better deal with the dealer’s preferred transporter.
