Vehicle Transport and Car Delivery Kilkenny
Not every job is an emergency. Kilkenny Recovery Truck provides planned vehicle transport on the flatbed for cars, vans, motorbikes and small machinery across Kilkenny and the whole of Ireland. If a vehicle needs to move and either cannot be driven or should not be driven, we move it.
Typical jobs include non-running project cars, cars bought at auction or online that need collecting, dealer-to-dealer transfers, cars going to and from the NCT centre, untaxed or uninsured vehicles that cannot legally be driven, and classic or valuable cars that owners would rather not put miles on.

Moving a car that is not taxed, insured or NCT'd
Driving a car on a public road in Ireland without valid tax, insurance and (where required) an NCT certificate is an offence and leaves you exposed if anything goes wrong. The simple answer is to put it on a flatbed. Once the car is on the truck it is a load, not a vehicle in use on the road, and the problem disappears. We do a lot of this work for people who have bought a car and want it moved home legally before sorting the paperwork.
Long distance transport from Kilkenny
We regularly transport vehicles between Kilkenny and Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford and everywhere in between. We quote a fixed price for the job based on distance and vehicle type, and we can combine runs to reduce the cost where timing is flexible. Ask about return-leg rates if you are flexible on the day.
- Hazard lights on and, if it is safe, roll the car in off the road or into a gateway.

Yes. We have winching equipment and skates for vehicles with seized wheels or no steering. Tell us in advance so we bring the right gear.

Northern Ireland, yes. For Great Britain, ask us; it depends on the job and the ferry arrangements.
