Caravan transport prices in Lancashire 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 Lancashire
Static caravans exceed standard road width limits and are classified as abnormal loads under UK law. Moving a static caravan in Lancashire requires STGO (Special Types General Order) notification to Lancashire 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. If the route extends beyond Lancashire into neighbouring areas, separate notifications are needed for each police force area crossed. Allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
Caravan Transport FAQ — Lancashire
- When should I book caravan transport on the Fylde Coast?
- The Fylde Coast has the highest concentration of caravan parks in England, and spring (March to May) is extremely busy for transport. Book at least 4 weeks ahead for spring moves. Many parks have strict siting deadlines in early March to be ready for the Easter season.
- Is the flat terrain in Lancashire an advantage?
- Absolutely. The flat Fylde Coast has wide, straight roads ideal for wide load transport. There are no gradient challenges and few low bridges. This makes Lancashire one of the easiest and most cost-effective areas for static caravan transport in the UK.
- Do I need to be present when my caravan is moved in Lancashire?
- Someone needs to be at both the collection and delivery sites in the Lancashire 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 Lancashire?
- For moves within or to Lancashire, 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 Lancashire 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 Lancashire?
- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving Lancashire 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.
