Caravan transport prices in East Riding of Yorkshire depend on the caravan width (10ft vs 12ft), distance, route complexity, and the number of police force areas the journey crosses.

STGO Permits for Caravan Transport in East Riding of Yorkshire
Static caravans exceed standard road width limits and are classified as abnormal loads under UK law. Moving a static caravan in East Riding of Yorkshire requires STGO (Special Types General Order) notification to Humberside Police, 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 East Riding of Yorkshire into neighbouring areas, separate notifications are needed for each police force area crossed. Allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.

- Do I need to be present when my caravan is moved in East Riding of Yorkshire?
- Someone needs to be at both the collection and delivery sites in the East Riding of Yorkshire 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.

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 Riding of Yorkshire crosses multiple police force areas, each force needs separate notification which adds time.
