Default Is there such thing as a car collection service?

Basically i need a car collecting (the one in my siggy) from Woking in Surrey and bringing to lancashire.

If i go by train will take me 7 hours and cost £70 or 50 minutes flying with BA and cost £60 but then ive got the long lonely drive home!

Is there such a service that will collect the vehicle for me and and bring it on a trailer or low loader (not drive it) to my home?

£200 sounds fine, i just didn't want anyone driving it!

It will cost me and some company for the ride home £110 in flights and then probably another £70+ in fuel.
