Caravan transport prices in West Midlands 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 West Midlands
Static caravans exceed standard road width limits and are classified as abnormal loads under UK law. Moving a static caravan in West Midlands requires STGO (Special Types General Order) notification to West Midlands Police / Staffordshire Police / Warwickshire Police / West Mercia 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 — West Midlands
- Is caravan transport from the West Midlands to Wales straightforward?
- It is a common route but requires planning. The M54 and A5 provide good access to North Wales, while the M50 and A40 serve South Wales. Your transporter will need permits from both English and Welsh police forces. Allow 3 to 4 weeks for cross-border moves.
- Can static caravans be transported through Birmingham?
- Abnormal loads can travel through Birmingham but are restricted to specific routes and times to avoid congestion. Most transporters route around the city centre using the M6, M5, or M42. Your transporter will plan the least disruptive route for your specific move.
- Do I need to be present when my caravan is moved in West Midlands?
- Someone needs to be at both the collection and delivery sites in the West Midlands 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 West Midlands?
- For moves within or to West Midlands, 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 West Midlands 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 West Midlands?
- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving West Midlands 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.
