I've sold my car online - what's the best way to transport it?

How can I get my uninsured car to the car buying site's depot?

If you plan to drive the car then you will need to organise short-term insurance. The car will also need to be taxed and MoT'd.
Alternatively, if the car is on SORN (which it needs to be if it doesn't have valid insurance) then you may need to see if the car buying company will collect it. Or you will need to pay someone to transport the car on a trailer to the car buying site's depot.
