I have to move my caravan about 210 miles from storage to a repair shop. I estimate it will be a four to five hour journey and will plan to stay overnight at the destination in an hotel and then return home.
It was suggested to me I could pay for the caravan to be taken by a towing contractor so I did a little on line research and put a request in to a company that would appear to shift all manner of goods around the country. The act as a sort of eBay advertiser and a number of parties emailed me with their quotes.
Given a 210 mile journey would use around £60 of fuel each way and a days labour for one person i was expecting quotes of over £200. There was one for £254 but most were around £120 and £130.
My question is, has anyone used third parties to tow their units and does £130 seem right for a 210 mile tow? I feel something is missing in a service at that price and worry it might be my caravan if it was entrusted to someone so cheaply.
