Caravan transport prices in North East 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 North East England
Static caravans exceed standard road width limits and are classified as abnormal loads under UK law. Moving a static caravan in North East England requires STGO (Special Types General Order) notification to Northumbria Police / Durham Constabulary / Cleveland 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. Allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
Caravan Transport FAQ — North East England
- How long does caravan transport take from the South East to the North East?
- A static caravan move from the South East to Northumberland is typically a 300+ mile journey taking 1 to 2 days. The transporter needs to allow for escort vehicle requirements, permitted travel hours for abnormal loads, and possibly an overnight stop. Budget 2 to 3 weeks from booking to delivery.
- Are there height restrictions on the A1 for caravan transport?
- Most of the A1/A1(M) has adequate clearance for static caravans. However, some older bridges on the non-motorway sections of the A1 in Northumberland have height restrictions. Your transporter will survey the route and plan around any low bridges.
- Do I need to be present when my caravan is moved in North East England?
- Someone needs to be at both the collection and delivery sites in the North East 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 North East England?
- For moves within or to North East 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 North East 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 North East England?
- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving North East 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.
