Nobody Drives It
Vehicle Collection and Delivery
The cheapest way to move a car is to have someone drive it, and it is also the way that adds mileage, wear, fuel, a driver's time and the risk of a stone chip on the Sheikh Zayed Road. Moving it on a transporter avoids all of that. We collect from one address and deliver to another anywhere in the UAE, as a standalone job or as a leg of an import or an export.
When This Is Used
Typical Movements
The pattern is a vehicle that needs to be somewhere else without being driven there.
- Newly purchased vehicles to the buyer
- Vehicles between emirates
- Cars to and from the port
- Dealer and showroom transfers
- Non-running or project vehicles
- High-value cars where mileage matters

Driving looks cheaper on the quote and frequently is not once the full cost is counted.
Mileage is permanent
Every kilometre driven is on the odometer for the life of the vehicle. On anything with resale value that is a real cost, not a notional one.
Wear and risk
Tyres, fuel, road debris and the chance of an incident all belong to the driven option. A transported vehicle arrives as it left.
A driver has to get back
Someone drives the car and then returns, which is two journeys being paid for rather than one.
Non-runners have no option
A vehicle that will not start or steer cannot be driven at all, which is where transport stops being a preference. The same applies to unregistered units and to commercial vehicles and plant that are not road legal.
Enclosed or open transport
Most vehicles travel perfectly well on an open transporter. Where paint condition genuinely matters - a classic, a show car, a high-value delivery - enclosed carriage is worth the difference, and it is worth saying so at booking rather than assuming.
How It Runs
Practical Handling
Most of the value is in the loading and the condition record.
-
Loaded and secured properly
Vehicles strapped rather than chained at stress points, which is where transport damage usually happens.
-
Condition recorded
The state of the vehicle noted at collection and at delivery, so any dispute has evidence behind it.
-
Combined with other legs
Collection can feed straight into a shipping movement rather than being a separate booking.
Why Cannata
Our Transporters, Our Drivers
Handing a vehicle to whoever answered the phone is how condition disputes start. Ownership of the fleet is what makes the condition record meaningful.
Our own transporters
The vehicle travels on our equipment, operated by our people.
Condition documented
Recorded at both ends, which protects both sides rather than just one.
Storage if needed
Somewhere secure to hold the vehicle if the receiving end is not ready.
