For dealers, trade buyers and fleets
Vehicle logistics your margin can rely on
If you buy and move cars every week, the problem is rarely finding a driver — it is knowing the cost before you commit, and getting the paperwork without a phone call. DriveDrop prices every movement from a published matrix, invoices it automatically, and keeps your whole team on one account.
The same published rates every time, so a delivered price can be quoted before you bid or buy. No brokers, no bidding wars, no post-collection renegotiation.
Every paid movement produces a VAT invoice against your business account, ready for your bookkeeper without chasing paperwork.
Invite buyers and sales staff to one business account with shared job history, so nobody books off-system.
Collections from Copart, BCA, Manheim, IAA Synetiq and independents, with LOT numbers passed to the driver so nothing stalls at the gate.
A dealer transport cost breakdown
Every price on the platform is built from the same components, which is what makes it predictable enough to build into a retail figure:
- Road distance between the two postcodes, not straight-line mileage
- Diesel anchored to the daily UK average, reviewed weekly
- Open or enclosed transporter, priced side by side
- Vehicle condition — running, non-runner, no keys
- Extra vehicles stepped down per unit on the same booking
- Extra collection or drop-off points priced per stop
How trade buyers manage vehicle logistics here
- 1. Price before you buy. Put the yard postcode and your forecourt postcode into the quote tool and you have a delivered cost before the hammer falls.
- 2. Book the moment you win. Paid jobs go live to vetted transporters immediately, which is how you stay ahead of storage fees.
- 3. Track without ringing round. Location updates during transit and photo proof at collection and delivery.
- 4. Reconcile in one place. Automated VAT invoices per movement, all listed against the business account.
