Secure vehicle movements
Drivet Transport International organises vehicle transport in France and Europe, for businesses and private customers alike. Car, van, company vehicle, new or used vehicle: we assess the solution according to the type and condition of the vehicle, the distance, the required timing and the collection and delivery constraints.
Vehicle transport
Vehicle transport consists of moving a car, van, commercial vehicle or specialist vehicle from a collection point to a delivery location. It can meet a range of needs: buying or selling a vehicle, transferring it between sites, delivering it to a customer, moving a company vehicle, repatriation or arranging transport for either a business or private request.
Unlike ordinary freight, vehicle transport requires particular attention to the vehicle’s condition, dimensions, weight, value, roadworthiness and collection requirements. A running, non-running, damaged, low, high, long, commercial or specialist vehicle cannot always be handled in the same way. These factors determine the most suitable solution and the feasibility of the movement.
The operation also depends on precise information about the collection and delivery locations. Access must be checked to ensure that the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded safely: street width, parking space, availability of the local contact, operating hours and constraints at a residence, business site, dealership, garage, depot or private area. Clear information makes the collection more effective to prepare.
Vehicle transport serves both businesses and private customers. A company may need to transfer a fleet, move a van, deliver a vehicle that has been sold or purchased, or arrange a movement between branches. A private customer may need a remotely purchased vehicle delivered, an after-sale delivery, a move between regions or another situation requiring a suitable transport solution.
Before any operation, the essential information must be provided: make, model, dimensions, running condition, availability of keys and documents, collection and delivery addresses, local contacts, required dates and any specific constraints. These details allow a realistic solution to be assessed, unnecessary handling to be limited and the vehicle’s movement to be secured from collection through to handover.
France & Europe
Drivet Transport International can organise vehicle collection and delivery throughout France and on numerous European routes. Each request is assessed according to the vehicle, its condition and value, the required timing, distance, access conditions and the most appropriate transport solution.
Across France
Transfers between dealerships or garages, customer deliveries, remotely purchased or sold vehicles, repatriation or movements of commercial vehicles between sites: the solution is built around the actual requirement.
Europe
We can assess vehicle transport between France and various European countries, as well as certain movements between European countries. Feasibility depends on origin, destination, vehicle condition, timing and loading and handover conditions.
Suitable solution
Running or non-running vehicle, classic car, premium vehicle, van or commercial vehicle: grouped car-carrier transport, dedicated transport, road delivery or a solution for an immobilised vehicle can be considered.
Transport solutions
Vehicle transport can be arranged in several ways depending on the vehicle’s condition and value, the required timing, the distance and collection or delivery constraints. A running vehicle intended for a standard delivery will not necessarily be moved in the same way as a broken-down vehicle, a vehicle sold to a customer or a transfer requiring a dedicated solution.
Common solutions include grouped transport on a car carrier, dedicated transport, delivery by road and transport of a non-running vehicle. The choice depends primarily on feasibility, the required level of protection and the most appropriate organisation for the vehicle concerned.
A common solution for moving several running vehicles in the same convoy. Grouped car-carrier transport optimises routes and is particularly suitable for deliveries between dealerships, compounds, garages or handover points when the timing does not require a fully dedicated vehicle.
Suitable when a vehicle needs more direct handling, with transport capacity assigned specifically to it. Dedicated transport may suit a priority delivery, a high-value vehicle, an appointment-based operation or a request requiring tighter control over collection and delivery.
The vehicle is driven to its destination by a driver. This solution is suitable for roadworthy vehicles when delivery by road matches the requirement. In some cases, movements may fall under rules applying to motor-trade professionals, including the use of trade plates; the applicable position must always be checked beforehand.
When a vehicle will not start, is damaged or cannot move under its own power, it requires specific loading. Depending on the case, a flatbed, winch, ramps or recovery equipment may be used to load, secure and transport it safely.

Depending on the vehicle and the required lead time, it can be moved by grouped car transporter, dedicated flatbed or trailer, or by road convoy when the vehicle is roadworthy and its administrative status allows it. The right solution depends on distance, vehicle value, condition and collection and delivery constraints.
Grouped transport carries several vehicles on the same car transporter, sharing the journey. Dedicated transport reserves a vehicle or transport solution for one specific requirement and is useful for tighter deadlines, fixed appointments or vehicles requiring more personalised handling.
Yes. A non-running vehicle can be loaded using suitable equipment such as a flatbed, winch or ramps. Before collection, it is important to confirm whether the vehicle starts, rolls, brakes and steers because this determines the loading method and equipment required.
Road convoying means the vehicle is driven to its destination instead of being loaded onto a transporter or flatbed. It is suitable for roadworthy vehicles when their mechanical condition, insurance, documentation and administrative status allow the journey.
The French W garage certificate is reserved for certain automotive and transport professionals and for specific regulated uses. It may apply in some situations involving resale, workshop transfers, testing or professional vehicle movements. Its use must be checked case by case and the original certificate must accompany the vehicle.
Yes. Car transporters are designed to carry several roadworthy vehicles on the same vehicle combination. This solution is commonly used for fleet transfers, dealerships, automotive professionals and grouped vehicle deliveries.
Yes. For a valuable, classic, sports or collector vehicle, a dedicated solution may be preferred to reduce handling and improve control over collection and delivery conditions. Depending on the vehicle, a flatbed, specialist trailer or enclosed transport can be considered.
Useful details include make and model, any unusual dimensions, whether the vehicle is running or non-running, exact collection and delivery addresses, preferred dates, on-site contacts, key availability and any access or loading constraints.
The price depends on distance, transport method, whether the vehicle is running or non-running, timing, access at collection and delivery points and the level of service required. Grouped transport may be more economical than a fully dedicated movement, while urgent or specialist transport usually requires a different organisation.
Yes. Drivet Transport International can review vehicle transport throughout France and across numerous European routes. For international movements, vehicle documents, circulation requirements, insurance and the rules applying in each country should be checked before departure, particularly when road convoying is considered.
Yes. Drivet Transport International can arrange vehicle collection and delivery throughout France, subject to feasibility, the selected transport method, vehicle condition, site access and the required timing.
Yes. The service can support both private and professional requirements, including remote vehicle purchases or sales, customer delivery, dealership and garage transfers, company-vehicle movements, repatriation and fleet transfers.
