Moving a car

SCP440 · 27th December 2019, 16:11

My Son has bought a car from the bay, it is about 200 miles from home. He needs to get it back but of course is not taxed. I can get a days car insurance but this does not get around the lack of tax and with the distance probably to far to take a chance. He wont be using it for a couple of months so seem crazy to tax it for one trip especially as it is high tax group.

All the companies I have rung or contacted want over £250 to collect it and wont be able to do it for a few weeks.

Is there another option or do I just need to shell out the cash to either tax it or get it brought back?
