An easy, fast service at the best price
At Car Transport Europe we take care of moving your motorhome, caravan, campervan or mobile home by road to any destination in Spain and across the main European corridors. We operate with our own fleet, which allows us to oversee every stage of the journey —from the initial loading to the final unloading— without relying on intermediaries or subcontractors.
Transporting a vehicle of this size calls for a very different approach compared to a standard car: heights, overhangs, weights and specific anchor points must all be assessed, the right low-loader or car transporter selected, and a route planned that avoids clearance restrictions or tonnage limits. Our team analyses every variable before confirming the collection so the trip runs smoothly from start to finish.
From your very first enquiry you receive a fixed, all-inclusive quote covering collection, haulage, insurance and delivery. We never add extra charges afterwards for fuel, tolls or administrative fees.

We transport your caravan to any destination in complete safety
Domestic and international door-to-door routes
We cover routes across the Iberian Peninsula and the main corridors linking Spain with the rest of Europe. Every request is assessed individually so we can offer you a transparent and fully itemised quote. The price takes into account the distance between origin and destination, the dimensions and weight of the vehicle, access conditions at both ends and the lead time available to schedule the collection. When the shipment crosses borders, we include from the outset all motorway tolls, transit fees and any applicable customs requirements.
- Tailor-made route planning: we select the most efficient itinerary to cut dead time and keep the overall cost down, factoring in tolls, clearance restrictions and road conditions.
- Verified loading and unloading points: if the address poses difficulties —gated communities with narrow access, campsites with height barriers or restricted-traffic zones— we suggest a nearby, safe alternative.
- Flexible scheduling to optimise rates: offering a 24-to-48-hour collection window helps us group shipments on the same route and pass on a more competitive rate.
- Vehicles with special requirements: whether it is a low-profile motorhome, an oversized mobile home, a folding caravan or a campervan with fragile exterior fittings, we adapt our securing methods and loading logistics to its specific characteristics.
We transport rigid and folding caravans
We ship throughout the peninsula and along the busiest European corridors, with collection and delivery at the address you provide whenever access conditions allow. We work with private owners —who need to move their caravan because of a house move, a long-distance purchase or a seasonal relocation— as well as with campsites, dealerships and rental companies that require regular transfers of units within their fleet.
Whether it is a single-axle rigid caravan, a folding model with a pop-up roof or a twin-axle unit with an integrated awning, we have the experience and the platforms needed to ensure a stable journey. We assess the gross vehicle weight, load distribution and the strength of the tie-down points before securing each unit.
Once the booking is confirmed, a member of our team coordinates the entire operation and keeps you informed of progress. When the confirmation is made well in advance, we can slot your caravan into routes that are already scheduled, which often shortens lead times or improves the price without compromising the protection of the vehicle.
We move motorhomes, campervans and mobile homes
Motorhomes, campervans and mobile homes pose their own logistical challenges: greater height, heavier weight, delicate exterior fittings —such as awnings, solar panels or bike racks— and, in many cases, dimensions that demand special loading platforms. Our team evaluates each of these factors to choose the most suitable transport method.
We walk you through every stage of the move so you know exactly what is happening with your vehicle at all times:
- Request: you provide the starting point, destination, approximate dates and the model or dimensions of the vehicle. With that information we prepare your quote within a short timeframe.
- Personalised advice: we answer all your questions, check access conditions at both ends and let you know which documents you should have ready.
- Collection: we agree on a time slot and loading location. The driver inspects the overall condition of the vehicle, records any existing marks and secures it with the appropriate anchor systems.
- In transit: you have a direct point of contact to resolve any query or report any change.
- Delivery: on arrival we review the vehicle together and produce a detailed, transparent record of its condition at the point of receipt.
The solution for private owners, campsites and dealerships
Our service caters to private travellers who need to move their motorhome to a new destination as well as to trade professionals managing fleets of recreational vehicles. Dealerships, campsites, rental companies and specialist workshops rely on us to shift units between their premises, deliver sales to end customers or reposition hire vehicles according to the season.
For private customers, booking is straightforward: simply give us the basic details of the vehicle and the collection and delivery addresses to receive a fixed-price proposal with no small print. We handle the full logistics so you only need to be present at pick-up and drop-off.
For businesses and trade clients, we offer terms tailored to the volume and frequency of shipments. We can set up recurring routes, manage collection calendars aligned with your commercial operations and provide a single point of contact to simplify communication. If you need to move several units at once or schedule regular transfers, we design a bespoke logistics plan that balances efficiency and savings.
How does our caravan transport service work?
Request a quote online
Getting a quote is quick and involves no commitment. Via the form on our website or by phone, you tell us the dimensions of the vehicle, the origin, the destination and your preferred dates. With that information we assess the best route, the platform required and the associated costs and send you a detailed estimate within a few hours.
The quote you receive is fixed and covers every item: loading, transport, insurance and unloading. For international moves, we include from the start all transit motorway tolls and any applicable border fees, so the final figure does not change.
- No hidden costs: the figure we quote is the figure you pay. We never add surcharges afterwards for fuel, administration or unforeseen logistics.
- Fast response: we evaluate each request individually and aim to send the quote as quickly as possible, usually on the same working day.
- Transparent comparison: we break down every line item so you can compare our proposal with other options and make an informed decision.
Safe collection and loading on purpose-built trailers
The loading phase is one of the most delicate moments in the process, especially when dealing with bulky vehicles such as motorhomes or mobile homes. We use low-bed trailers, hydraulic platforms and gentle-gradient ramps that ease vehicle access and minimise the risk of scrapes on the underside or the flanks.
The driver in charge inspects the unit before loading: recording the condition of the bodywork, exterior fittings and any relevant detail. He then positions the vehicle on the platform and secures it with heavy-duty straps, wheel chocks and anchor points distributed strategically to spread tension and prevent any movement during transit.
For towable caravans, we also check the condition of the hitch, the inertia brakes and the rear lights before proceeding with the tie-down. If the vehicle has fragile components —canopies, satellite dishes or protruding skylights— we apply additional protection and adjust the load layout to guarantee maximum integrity.
Shipment tracking all the way to the destination
From the moment your motorhome, caravan or campervan leaves the collection point, you have a direct communication channel with our team. We keep you informed of the key milestones along the route —departure, scheduled stops and estimated time of arrival— so you can plan your day without uncertainty.
If any unforeseen event arises during the journey —a prolonged hold-up, adverse weather or an incident on the route— we notify you immediately and propose alternatives. Our goal is for the move to proceed with complete predictability:
- Departure notification: you receive confirmation as soon as the vehicle sets off, together with an estimated travel time.
- Periodic updates: on long or international journeys we send updates at intermediate points so you can follow the progress of the shipment.
- Direct contact: you can call or message at any time to check on the status of the delivery; we respond without delay.
- Arrival alert: we notify you in advance of the expected delivery time so you can meet us at the agreed location.
Delivery at your chosen destination
On reaching the destination the unloading process follows a strict protocol. The driver releases the anchors, removes the protective coverings and positions the vehicle at the agreed spot. We then carry out a joint inspection of the exterior and interior condition of the vehicle, cross-referencing it with the photographic record taken at origin.
If everything is in order we sign the delivery documentation. If we spot anything new, we record it immediately so the appropriate cover can be activated. This procedure guarantees full traceability of the service:
- Controlled unloading: we use the same technical equipment as during loading to avoid scrapes or knocks on the final stretch.
- Shared visual inspection: we walk around the vehicle with you, checking bodywork, glazing, exterior fittings and the underside.
- Delivery report: we sign a document that reflects the actual condition of the vehicle at the time of receipt, with full transparency.
- After-delivery support: if after handover you need to raise a query or flag a detail that was not noticed during the inspection, our customer-care department remains available to assist you.
Trust the professionals to transport your caravan
Maximum safety and peace of mind at all times
Collection and delivery times for caravan and motorhome transport depend on the distance between the two addresses, access conditions at each point and the availability of scheduled departures on the requested route. When both locations allow easy manoeuvring and the booking is confirmed promptly, we strive to complete the service in the shortest time possible. Booking in advance makes it easier to slot the vehicle into expeditions that are already planned, which often reduces cost and allows dates to be fixed more precisely from the outset.
Factors that help speed up the operation:
- Offering wide time windows (24–48 h) allows us to include your vehicle on the next scheduled departure towards the specified area.
- Having clear loading and unloading areas, free of height, width or maximum-weight restrictions.
- Letting us know in good time about roadworks, neighbourhood restrictions or local regulations that could affect the transporter's manoeuvring.
- Having all documentation ready from the first point of contact to avoid delays or last-minute changes of plan.
Everything you need to know before booking
Before confirming the shipment it is worth reviewing several practical aspects that can influence how the service unfolds. Preparing the vehicle beforehand, gathering the required documentation and understanding the factors that determine the rate are the three pillars of a trouble-free move. Below we address the questions our customers ask most often so you have all the information you need before going ahead.
The more information you provide from the start, the more accurate our proposal will be and the easier it will be to coordinate the logistics. Spending a few minutes reviewing these points can save you time and help you secure a keener quote and firmer dates.
Documentation required to cross European borders
If your caravan or motorhome needs to cross one or more borders within Europe, it is essential to gather all the required documentation in advance. Although the free movement of goods simplifies procedures within the European Union, each country may apply specific requirements regarding type-approval, insurance and authorisations.
- Vehicle registration certificate and technical data sheet: both documents must be current and match the details of the vehicle being transported. Make sure the MOT or equivalent roadworthiness test has not expired.
- ID of the registered keeper or authorised person: national ID card, passport or valid identity document. If the vehicle is not in your name you will need a signed authorisation from the owner.
- Transport insurance: alongside the quote we detail the scope of the policy covering the move, the types of damage included and the maximum indemnity amounts. All information is presented clearly and without unexpected clauses.
- Additional documentation for specific destinations: some countries require emissions certificates, advance payment of a motorway vignette or specific customs declarations. We will tell you exactly which documents you need to compile for your planned route.
- Unregistered vehicles or vehicles being imported: if your motorhome or caravan does not yet have definitive registration plates, we can advise you on the provisional documents that allow it to be transported legally.
What affects the final price of a move?
We operate regularly in Spain's main cities —Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza, Málaga and Bilbao— and maintain scheduled frequencies on international corridors, especially those linking Spain with France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy.
We also handle a large volume of services along the Mediterranean coast, with constant departures and arrivals in Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Murcia, Almería, Málaga and the Costa del Sol. That consistent demand allows us to offer shorter lead times and more competitive rates when there is some flexibility on dates.
Other factors that directly affect the price of a move:
- Vehicle dimensions and weight: a 6-metre low-profile motorhome does not require the same resources as a 12-metre mobile home. The larger the volume and mass, the higher the logistics cost.
- Distance and route tolls: total kilometres and toll motorways between origin and destination are reflected proportionally in the rate.
- Accessibility at loading and unloading points: addresses with easy manoeuvring reduce operating time; locations with space restrictions may require auxiliary equipment.
- Time of year and booking lead time: booking with margin and avoiding peak seasonal weeks (start and end of camping season) helps secure better conditions.
Preparing your vehicle before collection
Spending a little time preparing your caravan or motorhome before the transporter arrives speeds up loading and reduces the chance of incidents during the journey. Below are the most important steps:
- Photographic survey: take pictures of the vehicle from different angles —front, rear, both sides and the roof if accessible— and record any existing scuffs, dents or imperfections. This will serve as a reference at delivery.
- Empty tanks and disconnect supplies: reduce the fresh-water level to a minimum, empty the grey and black water tanks and disconnect the gas bottles. As well as saving weight, this prevents leaks or spills during transit.
- Remove or secure exterior fittings: retract awnings, antennas, bike racks, detachable ladders and any accessory that could come loose in the wind or from vibrations. If they cannot be removed, fasten them securely and let us know.
- Secure the interior: close all cupboards, drawers and interior furniture doors firmly. Remove heavy objects that could shift and secure any built-in appliances that have play.
- Battery with sufficient charge: check that the vehicle battery can start the engine and allow manoeuvring during loading. If the motorhome or campervan is not running, let us know so we can bring the necessary auxiliary equipment.
- Documentation to hand: have the registration certificate, technical data sheet, vehicle keys and, for international moves, any additional documents we have specified ready and available.
