Caravan Transport FAQ — Yorkshire & The Humber
- Which part of Yorkshire has the most caravan parks?
- The East Yorkshire coast between Bridlington and Filey has the highest concentration, with major Haven and Parkdean parks. The Scarborough to Whitby stretch and the Yorkshire Dales also have significant numbers. Most caravan transport in the region heads to or from these coastal areas.
- Do I need permits for multiple police areas in Yorkshire?
- Potentially yes. Yorkshire is covered by four police forces — North Yorkshire, Humberside, South Yorkshire, and West Yorkshire. A move from West Yorkshire to the coast crosses at least two force areas. Your transporter handles all separate permit applications.
- Do I need to be present when my caravan is moved in Yorkshire & The Humber?
- Someone needs to be at both the collection and delivery sites in the Yorkshire & The Humber 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 Yorkshire & The Humber?
- For moves within or to Yorkshire & The Humber, 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 Yorkshire & The Humber 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 Yorkshire & The Humber?
- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving Yorkshire & The Humber 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.
