Default Self drive recovery

Just a quick question to see if anyone knows anyone doing self drive recovery trucks hire in Scotland or there about’s, I’m 25 so should be ok for insurance sake etc. I will need to move my car about a fair bit in the next few months between mappers, exhaust fab shop etc and won’t be able to drive it. Thanks in advance

Someone with a 4x4 and a car trailer would suffice and may be easier to find?
There are companies out there that move new cars around this way, just a thought....

Sometimes it works that they could swing by your place and avoid being empty for a journey.

That would be ok if I knew someone with a 4x4 and trailer. There’s plenty of people round my way with recovery trucks but they are generally speaking either gypo’s who are only used to transporting scrap cars etc or the local drug dealers who use recovery as a front for their real “business” I guess there are people out there who will move it and be respectful of the money in the car, I just thought I would ask if someone doing self drive recovery that I wasn’t seeing

You may be able to hire 4x4 and trailer.
Won't be cheap though.
A google of car transporter hire Scotland gets numerous hits. There's one on piston heads from 2017 from a 22 year old. Thats a coincidence. Was it you?

Try Shipley, they will give you a good quote and sellers have feedback so you can see how good they are.
