Caravan transport prices in East of England 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 East of England
Static caravans exceed standard road width limits and are classified as abnormal loads under UK law. Moving a static caravan in East of England requires STGO (Special Types General Order) notification to Norfolk Constabulary / Suffolk Constabulary / Essex Police / Cambridgeshire Constabulary, 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. Allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
Caravan Transport FAQ — East of England
- Is the flat terrain in East Anglia an advantage for caravan transport?
- Yes. The flat landscape means fewer gradient challenges, and the relatively straight roads in Norfolk and Suffolk make route planning simpler for wide loads. However, some coastal roads can be narrow and there are weight-restricted bridges to navigate. Local knowledge still matters.
- How many police force areas does a caravan move through East Anglia cross?
- A move within Norfolk or Suffolk stays in one police area. A move from London or the Midlands to Norfolk typically crosses Essex Police and Norfolk Constabulary areas, requiring two sets of permits. Your transporter handles all applications.
- Do I need to be present when my caravan is moved in East of England?
- Someone needs to be at both the collection and delivery sites in the East of England 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 East of England?
- For moves within or to East of England, 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 East of England 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 East of England?
- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving East of England 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.
