Vehicle Transport in Edinburgh
TransportMyCar arranges vehicle transport for private customers and motor trade businesses in and around Edinburgh — everyday cars, dealer stock, classic and prestige vehicles, and non-runners where suitable. Every enquiry is reviewed individually, so the transport method matches the vehicle rather than being applied as a generic default.
TransportMyCar is Edinburgh-based, with yard access in Newbridge and Broxburn. That gives us strong coverage across Edinburgh, West Lothian and the central belt, with straightforward access to the A8, M8, M9 and A720 for vehicle movements across Scotland, England and mainland Europe.
There is no marketplace hand-off or call-centre style process. Your quote starts online, but the movement itself is reviewed, planned and managed by TransportMyCar from enquiry to delivery, with clear communication from collection to delivery.
Access & Route Planning
Planned around Edinburgh access.
Edinburgh's mix of tight city-centre streets and more open business districts means access planning matters. Here's how we approach it:
Low Emission Zone
Edinburgh's city-centre Low Emission Zone is factored into collection and delivery planning for affected vehicles and routes.
City-Centre & Tenement Access
New Town and Old Town streets, and tenement flats across Leith, often mean tighter access — we plan for this in advance rather than on the day.
Restricted Loading Areas
Where loading restrictions apply, we agree timing and access with you before the driver arrives.
Leith, Musselburgh & Dalkeith
Regular private collections and deliveries across these areas, from tenement streets to suburban driveways.
Newbridge, South Gyle, Sighthill & Broxburn
Dealer forecourts around Newbridge, South Gyle, Sighthill, Broxburn, Livingston and the wider Edinburgh area, with access planned around the A8, M8, M9 and A720 corridors.
Livingston & the Central Belt
A frequent stop for private buyers and dealership transfers moving vehicles across the wider central belt.
Local Coverage
Well placed for auctions, dealers and West Lothian collections
Our Newbridge and Broxburn yard access places us close to a number of nearby collection points across Edinburgh and West Lothian, including dealer forecourts, business parks, private sellers, and auction or remarketing sites where access and collection rules allow.
Auction sites such as BCA Edinburgh, near Ingliston and Newbridge, sit close by, while remarketing sites such as Copart Whitburn cover West Lothian salvage collections. Manheim Shotts is a further example of the kind of central belt auction location we plan for as part of wider Scotland vehicle movements.

Pricing & Instant Quote
Our Instant Quote tool gives you an indicative price range for your Edinburgh vehicle move in seconds, based on the vehicle type, transport method and approximate mileage you enter.
Final details are confirmed before booking. We check the exact collection and delivery postcodes, confirm mileage, and review the vehicle's condition and access requirements before your price is agreed.
European movements, ferry crossings, tolls, unusual access requirements or non-standard vehicles may need manual confirmation from a member of the team rather than an instant figure.
