i use a website called Shiply really easy to use and free to advertise basically you put on there the 2 postcodes of where to pick up and deliver and then wait for the bids to come in
you then can ask prospective transport companies any questions and go from there i have had a few cars delivered to me through shiply

Fair price from jay,just been to Retford and back to port Talbot,236 miles but I charged him £220 as it's a mate,£1 per mile is correct IMHO.
