Post new topic

Maria00091

Hello,

I am researching and applying for quotes from various removal companies does anyone have any recommendations?
I'm slightly hesitant as I've read some horror stories at prices being changed?

I'm also after some information about shipping a motorcycle back to the UK and the best route to take with this rules and regulations ECT? As I understand already it can be shipped with valid Maltese insurance and license which is vaild in the UK(and EU)  for as long as left on the license/insurance or Garaging the bike... what amount of time do I have to register it in the UK?


Thanks for your help

Maria
