Caravan transport prices in Aberdeenshire depend on the caravan width (10ft vs 12ft), distance, route complexity, and the number of police force areas the journey crosses. Wider 12ft static caravans typically cost around 20% more than 10ft models due to additional route restrictions. The best way to find your actual cost is to compare quotes from multiple transporters.
STGO Permits for Caravan Transport in Aberdeenshire
Static caravans exceed standard road width limits and are classified as abnormal loads under UK law. Moving a static caravan in Aberdeenshire requires STGO (Special Types General Order) notification to Police Scotland, along with a planned route and mandatory escort vehicle. Your transporter handles the entire permit process — filing notifications, planning the approved route around low bridges and narrow stretches, and providing the escort. If the route extends beyond Aberdeenshire into neighbouring areas, separate notifications are needed for each police force area crossed. Allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
Caravan Transport FAQ — Aberdeenshire
- How long does caravan transport from England to Aberdeenshire take?
- From the Midlands or North of England, allow 1 to 2 days of transport time for the 300 to 400 mile journey. The A1 to Edinburgh, then the M90 and A90 to Aberdeenshire, is the most common route. Your transporter will plan overnight stops if needed for the driver's hours regulations.
- Are Aberdeenshire roads suitable for wide loads?
- The A90 and A96 are suitable trunk roads. Coastal and rural roads in Aberdeenshire vary — some fishing village approaches are narrow. Your transporter will assess the route to your specific park. Generally, Aberdeenshire roads are better maintained than more remote Highland routes.
- Do I need to be present when my caravan is moved in Aberdeenshire?
- Someone needs to be at both the collection and delivery sites in the Aberdeenshire area. At the collection end, you or a representative must confirm the caravan condition and hand over keys. At the destination, someone needs to direct the transporter to the exact pitch and verify the caravan is undamaged. If you cannot attend, arrange for the park manager or a trusted person to be there on your behalf and brief them on where you want the caravan positioned.
- How far in advance should I arrange caravan transport in Aberdeenshire?
- For moves within or to Aberdeenshire, book at least 2 to 3 weeks ahead. The STGO police notification process requires a minimum of 2 working days, but most forces recommend 5 to 10 working days. If your route to Aberdeenshire crosses multiple police force areas, each force needs separate notification which adds time. Spring moves (March to May) are the busiest period — book 4 weeks ahead during peak season.
- Is my caravan insured during transport to Aberdeenshire?
- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving Aberdeenshire carry goods-in-transit insurance covering your caravan during loading, transit, and unloading. Cover levels vary between £50,000 and £250,000 depending on the transporter — ask to confirm their policy limits before booking. If your caravan is worth more than the standard cover, discuss additional insurance options. We recommend getting written confirmation of cover before the move date.
