Caravan transport prices in Northumberland 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 Northumberland
Static caravans exceed standard road width limits and are classified as abnormal loads under UK law. Moving a static caravan in Northumberland requires STGO (Special Types General Order) notification to Northumbria 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 Northumberland into neighbouring areas, separate notifications are needed for each police force area crossed. Allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
Caravan Transport FAQ — Northumberland
- Is the A1 suitable for caravan transport through Northumberland?
- The A1 is the main route and handles wide loads regularly. North of Alnwick the A1 is mostly single carriageway, which means your transporter may need to manage following traffic. Coastal parks are reached via B-roads from the A1, which are generally suitable for standard caravan widths.
- Can caravans be transported near Hadrian's Wall?
- Parks near Hadrian's Wall in southern Northumberland are accessible via the A69 or Military Road (B6318). These routes are suitable for caravan transport. Some very rural parks may need access assessment, but the main routes are well-maintained.
- Do I need to be present when my caravan is moved in Northumberland?
- Someone needs to be at both the collection and delivery sites in the Northumberland 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 Northumberland?
- For moves within or to Northumberland, 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 Northumberland 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 Northumberland?
- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving Northumberland 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.
