Car Transport from Norwich to London
Post your Norwich to London job for free and compare prices from checked drivers, with each driver's goods-in-transit cover shown next to their quote. You choose.
How it works
- Post the job — pickup and drop-off postcodes, the vehicle and whether it drives. It's free and you don't need an account to post.
- Checked, independent drivers send their own price. Each quote shows the driver's goods-in-transit cover in pounds.
- Choose a driver and pay a deposit online to book. You pay the rest to the driver directly, on the payment terms shown with their quote.
Norwich to London: the route
The drive from Norwich to London is about 115 miles — roughly 2.5 hours at the wheel, plus loading and unloading at each end. You set the dates that suit you; drivers quote for them and often say in their note when they can collect.
From the A47 Norwich Southern Bypass, the fastest road route heads south-west on the A11, bypassing Wymondham, Attleborough and Thetford, takes a short stretch of the A14 around Newmarket, then joins the M11 for the run into London, finishing on the A12 into east London and city streets for the last few miles.
Collecting from an auction yard such as Copart or BCA? Put the lot number in the notes, and the release or gate-pass details under Access instructions (Special instructions in the app) — only the driver you accept sees those.
Before you book
- London end — the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) covers all London boroughs, though not the M25, and runs 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day. Part of central London is also inside the Congestion Charge zone, which applies 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 at weekends and on bank holidays, except between Christmas Day and the New Year's Day bank holiday
- Road charges are part of the driver's price — they apply to the vehicle driven in the zone, and nothing is added after you accept a quote
- Loading space — in London, say in the notes whether there's off-street space or a loading bay near the address
- Postcodes first — you post with postcodes only, and add the exact addresses after you've chosen a driver and paid the deposit
A1 Transporter is a new platform and we don't have drivers quoting everywhere yet, so on some routes you may get few quotes, or none. Posting is free, so it costs nothing to see who quotes.
What affects the price
- Distance — about 115 miles door to door, plus how far the driver has to travel to the pickup
- Whether the car drives — a non-runner needs a winch and more time
- Size and weight — a van or a large 4x4 costs more than a small hatchback
- How soon — flexible dates usually bring more quotes to choose from
Before you book you see the driver's price and our booking fee. The booking fee is the deposit you pay online; the driver's price is paid to the driver directly, at the time and by the method shown with their quote. Nothing else is added.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Norwich to London car transport take?
The driving itself is about 2.5 hours for roughly 115 miles. When your car is collected depends on the dates you set and the driver you choose — compare what each driver says about timing before you book.
How much does it cost to transport a car from Norwich to London?
Drivers set their own prices, so post the job to see real quotes. Distance, whether the car drives, its size and how soon you need it all affect the price. Our booking fee is shown before you accept a quote.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Every driver must hold goods-in-transit insurance. Before approval we check each driver's V5 (vehicle log book), motor insurance and goods-in-transit certificate. Each quote shows how much cover that driver has, so choose one whose cover is at least your vehicle's value.
What if the car doesn't drive?
Say so when you post the job. Drivers see the vehicle's condition before they quote, so the ones who can load a non-runner — with a winch — can price it properly.
How far is Norwich to London by road?
About 115 miles by the fastest road route — the A11, a short stretch of the A14 and the M11 — roughly 2.5 hours at the wheel on clear roads, and longer in London traffic.
