Cross-country moves to/from Lincolnshire
Caravan transport prices in Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire
Static caravans exceed standard road width limits and are classified as abnormal loads under UK law. Moving a static caravan in Lincolnshire requires STGO (Special Types General Order) notification to Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire into neighbouring areas, separate notifications are needed for each police force area crossed. Allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
Caravan Transport FAQ — Lincolnshire
- Is Lincolnshire one of the cheapest counties for caravan transport?
- It is among the most cost-effective. The flat terrain, wide roads, and high volume of moves along the coast keep prices competitive. A local move within the Skegness area can cost as little as £250 to £400. Long-distance moves from southern England are priced by distance as usual.
- Are there any road restrictions on the Lincolnshire coast?
- The A52 from Boston to Skegness is the main route and handles wide loads regularly. The A158 to Mablethorpe via Horncastle is also suitable. Some coastal park access roads can be narrow, but the Lincolnshire coast generally has good infrastructure for caravan transport.
- Do I need to be present when my caravan is moved in Lincolnshire?
- Someone needs to be at both the collection and delivery sites in the Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire?
- For moves within or to Lincolnshire, 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 Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire?
- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving Lincolnshire 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.
