Motorbike and scooter transport, even when broken down.
Your two-wheeler travels wedged and strapped down, on a flatbed, on a trailer or in a van. Describe the route: those passing near you send you their quotes.
- Verified carriers
- Running or not
- New alert if the carrier cancels
A professional, or a private individual making the journey?
Your request goes to both, unless you require a professional. A motorbike always travels loaded: no driven delivery for a two-wheeler. Learn more about driven delivery
Professional carrier
- Equipment
- Flatbed, recovery truck, van
- Non-running motorbike
- Yes, if their journey accepts it
- Verification
- SIRET checked
Their insurance is shown on their quote when they have provided it. To receive quotes from professionals only, tick “I require a professional carrier who invoices”.
Private individual making the journey
- Equipment
- Their own trailer
- Two-wheelers per journey
- 2 at most
- Verification
- Mobile number and photo
They are travelling for themselves and share their travel costs. They have no professional insurance: ask them how your motorbike is covered.
It doesn’t run? Say so.
- Tick what makes loading difficult. Locked or missing wheels, locked steering, no brakes, no key, flat tyres, accident-damaged, loose parts to secure.
- Give the make and model. Size and weight change how it is loaded: carriers see them from the alert.
- Describe the access. Underground car park, yard, lock-up garage: the carrier knows how to reach it.
Journeys that refuse non-runners are left out: no pointless alerts.

Your questions
My vehicle doesn’t run. Is that a problem?
No. Say so in the form, along with the handling needed (winch, forklift…). Journeys from carriers who refuse non-running vehicles are excluded; when a carrier hasn’t specified, it is shown as a point to confirm with their quote.
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.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Plateau Libre is not the carrier and does not insure your vehicle: check the cover with the carrier before collection.
A carrier may have public liability insurance and goods in transit insurance. When they have provided the certificates, we verify them along with their validity dates, and they are shown on their quote: “Liability insurance”, “Goods in transit insurance”. Otherwise, nothing is shown.
To receive quotes only from insured carriers, tick “I require a professional carrier who invoices” in your request, then choose the insurance you require: liability insurance, goods in transit insurance or both. Only carriers whose SIRET is verified and who have provided these certificates, once verified, receive it. You can also require the Community licence (compulsory for vehicles over 3.5 t): it is then checked against the transport register.
A private individual carrying goods during their journeys has no professional insurance, and their car insurance does not cover the goods they carry: ask them how your item is covered before handing it over.
How do collection and delivery work?
The carrier takes at least one photo of the vehicle at collection, then at delivery: you see them on your tracking page. Once the vehicle has been collected, the booking can no longer be cancelled.
On delivery, we ask you by email to confirm it, with a reminder after 48 hours. Without a reply from you and with no problem reported, the delivery is confirmed automatically 7 days after that email. Both of you can then leave a review.
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.
