Vehicle collection & transport
Vehicle transport does not have to start with a breakdown.
Sometimes a vehicle simply needs to get from one place to another. You may have bought a car, sold one, need a vehicle brought to a garage or have a non-running vehicle that needs moving.
FTS provides planned vehicle collection and transport in Dublin for cars, vans, SUVs and other suitable vehicles and equipment.
For larger or unusual loads, call with the dimensions, approximate weight and loading requirements. We can assess what is needed before the transport is agreed.
Discuss your vehicle transport →Why customers need transport
Vehicle transport for planned moves and collections
A vehicle does not need to be broken down before transport makes sense. FTS can help with a range of planned vehicle movements.
Sold a Vehicle
If a sold vehicle needs to be delivered to its buyer or another agreed destination, transport can be arranged.
Garage & Workshop Transport
A vehicle can be collected and transported to your chosen garage, mechanic or workshop.
Non-Running Vehicles
If the vehicle cannot be driven, tell us its condition when calling so the transport requirements can be assessed.
Business Vehicles
Company cars and vans can be moved between business locations, garages or other agreed destinations.
Storage & Onward Transport
FTS can also discuss storage when a vehicle cannot immediately continue to its final destination.
Bought or sold a vehicle?
You don't have to drive it home yourself.
Buying a vehicle does not always mean it is convenient, suitable or possible to drive it away yourself.
If you have purchased a car, van or SUV and need it collected, provide the collection location, vehicle details and delivery destination.
The same applies when selling a vehicle. If transport to the buyer or another agreed location needs to be arranged, call FTS with both addresses and the vehicle information.
Have these details ready
- Vehicle make and model
- Collection address
- Delivery destination
- Whether the vehicle runs
- Whether it rolls and steers
- Any access restrictions
- Preferred collection timing
Larger & unusual transport
Forklift, digger or something less straightforward?
Cars and vans are only part of the transport work FTS can consider. We can also transport vehicles and equipment such as SUVs, forklifts and diggers where the size, weight and loading requirements are suitable.
If you are not sure whether your vehicle or equipment can be transported, call us rather than guessing. Give us the dimensions, approximate weight, collection point and destination.
We can then assess the job and discuss what is required for loading, securing and transport.
Additional loading equipment
Some unusual transport jobs may require additional loading equipment or assistance, such as access to a forklift or crane. FTS can discuss what is required and whether suitable assistance can be arranged. Additional equipment and more complex loading requirements can affect the final quote.
What can we transport?
Tell us what you need moved.
Vehicle type alone does not always determine whether a transport job is possible. Size, weight, access and the way the vehicle or equipment needs to be loaded can all matter.
Cars
Planned collection and transport for running and non-running cars.
Vans
Transport for private vans, work vans and suitable commercial vehicles.
SUVs
SUVs and other passenger vehicles can be transported subject to the individual vehicle requirements.
Forklifts
Forklift transport can be arranged where the dimensions, weight and loading requirements are suitable.
Diggers
Diggers and similar equipment can be considered after checking the size, weight and loading requirements.
Other Vehicles & Equipment
Have something different? Call with the details. If FTS cannot handle the job, we will try to point you towards someone who can.
Size & weight matter
Not sure whether your vehicle is too large or heavy?
Do not worry about working that out yourself. Give us the information and we can assess the transport requirement.
- Tell us exactly what needs to be transported
- Provide the make and model where available
- Give approximate dimensions for unusual loads
- Provide the approximate weight where known
- Explain whether it can move under its own power
- Tell us how accessible the collection point is
- Mention if loading equipment may be required
What about large trucks?
Large truck transport is outside the normal FTS vehicle transport service. If you are unsure whether your vehicle falls within what we can transport, call us with the specifications. If we cannot carry out the job, we will try to recommend an appropriate alternative.
Transporting your vehicle
The aim is simple: it arrives as it was collected.
When somebody hands over a vehicle for transport, they expect it to be handled properly. FTS uses appropriate securing and protective measures for the individual transport job.
The aim is to transport the vehicle with care and deliver it in the same condition in which it was collected.
Unusual vehicles and equipment may require a different loading or securing approach, which is why it is important to provide accurate information before the job is arranged.
More than one vehicle?
Ask us about multi-vehicle transport.
If you need more than one vehicle moved, tell FTS how many vehicles are involved, what they are and where they need to go.
Multi-vehicle transport may be possible depending on the vehicles, locations and requirements of the job. We can discuss the most practical arrangement before providing the quote.
Businesses arranging transport for company vehicles can also see our Commercial & Fleet Towing Dublin service.

Which service?
Vehicle transport or towing?
There is some natural overlap, but the reason you need the vehicle moved usually determines which service is most relevant.

What if the vehicle cannot go straight to its destination?
Sometimes a vehicle needs to be collected before its final destination is ready. You may be waiting for a repair appointment, arranging onward transport or simply need somewhere for the vehicle temporarily.
FTS also provides vehicle storage in Dublin. If storage may be required as part of the transport job, mention this when you call so availability can be checked.
