Before departure

- The driver’s licence is checked. Our team checks a copy of their driving licence: category B, valid, in their name, held for at least 3 years. Without this check, they receive no driven delivery requests.
- Discuss insurance with them. Plateau Libre does not insure your car: before departure, ask the driver for their insurance certificate.

Your questions
What is a vehicle delivery driver?
A professional who comes to collect your vehicle and drives it themselves to its destination, instead of loading it onto a flatbed or a car transporter. It is an additional service, for vehicles that run: a non-running vehicle always travels loaded.
Like carriers, every vehicle delivery driver is a business whose SIRET is checked. Our team also checks the copy of their driving licence: until the team has approved it, they receive no driven delivery requests.
In your request, you choose: a truck or a vehicle delivery driver, either is fine; a truck only; or a driver only. The question is only asked if your vehicle runs.
Can my vehicle be delivered by a driver?
Yes, if it runs and can be driven on a category B licence: car, classic car, van or 4x4. A motorbike, a vehicle that doesn’t run, parts or a bulky item travel loaded, with a carrier.
The vehicle must be road-legal: registered, insured by its owner and with an up-to-date roadworthiness test. If you accept a vehicle delivery driver, you certify this in your request.
Plateau Libre does not insure your vehicle. Before departure, check with the vehicle delivery driver how any damage during the drive would be covered: ask them for their insurance certificate.
How much does driven car delivery cost?
The price depends on the distance, the date, tolls and the driver’s journey to collect the car and then leave again. Each driver makes their own quote: we don’t display prices.
Their quote also says who pays for the fuel. Quotes are free and with no obligation.
How does the vehicle delivery driver get to the car?
They publish their availability: their starting town, how far they will travel to collect a vehicle (200 km at most) and their dates. Your request is offered to them if the collection point is within this radius, whatever the destination.
They travel to the collection point by train or public transport, then leave the same way after delivery.
What should you check before entrusting your car to a vehicle delivery driver?
On their quote: their reviews and what we have verified. Before departure, ask them for their insurance certificate.
At collection, walk round the car with them, take photos and note the mileage and fuel level together. Do the same again at delivery.
Who pays for fuel and tolls on a driven delivery?
It is stated on the vehicle delivery driver’s quote: “Fuel included in the price” or “Fuel paid by the customer”. You see it before booking.
Tolls, if the driver specifies them, are included in their price and shown separately on the quote. As with a transport, the vehicle delivery driver sets their price freely, and you pay them directly.
What if the carrier cancels?
Your request goes straight back out to matching carriers, and the other quotes that are still valid can be booked again.
You then book one of those quotes, or a new one, from your tracking page.
