Why do people continually compare foreign domain name extensions when considering the value of co.uk names? .org is for CHARITIES nothing to do with a U.K. transportation business, .net is used in G.B. but nowhere near as much as co.uk is. Auction price is also not important because I could list xwyeopriweqsfrdgtsrfea.com for $ 1 million. There are MANY live companies using co.uk names and variants of transport, transporter and transportation. @prangers keep going and build a nice site about vehicle transportation then contact companies. There are hundreds above sole trader level in G.B.

Very nice domain and worth MUCH more than the registration fee. Please IGNORE anyone who says it's not worth anything because it's not based on any level of research or local knowledge. I happen to have done some research for you and although far from an expert am privy to some of the inner workings of the G.B. transportation industry. Research is your best friend.

Vehicle transportation is a HUGE multi-BILLION pound industry in G.B. Last I heard it costs £ 1.50 - £ 3.00 for every mile so a typical 500 mile one-direction journey from Dover (if the vehicle has been shipped from Calais) to Glasgow would cost between £ 750 - £ 3000. The transportation price decreases as the mileage goes up. This is a variable cost because there are a multitude of different vehicle sizes and weights. You have ride-on lawnmowers, fork lift trucks, tractors, diggers, vintage cars, auction lots and other heavy machinery vehicles. It's not economically friendly to drive these type of vehicles over long distances, and they cannot go on the motorway.

Add to that cars, motorbikes, motor homes, tanks, other military vehicles, and trucks which have been involved in accidents. These vehicles need to be immediately removed from public roads. If the driver does not have insurance or a valid M.O.T. certificate that means the vehicle cannot legally be driven. In many cases it also invalidates the insurance and breakdown cover, meaning the driver has to hire a private vehicle transportation company to remove the vehicle. This will cost over £ 100 in most cases. I know because it's happened to me in my youth.

Edit - add to that ANY vehicle that enters the UK and advertises as NEW in a showroom. This means it cannot legally be driven on public roads before the sale. 2019 there were 57 BILLION pounds worth of vehicles imported to the UK, and most of the new ones required a vehicle transporter.

Those are just some of the reasons why vehicle transportation is such a massive industry. Do your own research and you will find many others. I haven't even got started on animal transportation or spacecraft. Start on Google and look for Government reports. If you have specific questions pick up the phone and call the relevant office mate or pop an email.

A quick search of UK Google for transporter.co.uk returns over 50 domains that belong to active U.K. vehicle transportation companies. Admittedly some of these companies are directly about the Volkswagen Transporter models.

I'm not going to do your research for you but here are some examples of ACTIVE UK companies that you can contact (when you are ready) about selling your domain

Also look up G.B. vehicle trailer, wide load and auto logistics and transportation companies. There are hundreds of them, maybe thousands if you include the local traders. This is such a lucrative trade you will be AMAZED how many companies can be interested in buying your domain. It's insanely popular and you can get a nice price for your name.

Thank you for your detailed response.

Thanks for all the response people

@prangers, switch those pix for ones with serious haulage screaming out from them! One with an earth mover (heavy plant) on the back, one carrying a broken down HGV, anything which a one man band simply cannot do!. To get serious money you have to sell to big businesses that have serious money to promote their operations. Go and stand on a motorway flyover if necessary, and take the pix yourself with your phone.

Thank you, good idea

A very stretched domain, and a struggle (reg fee territory, in my view)

PS Check out "Acorn Domains" (Biggest UK domain forum), can get further opinions specifically for ".co.uk"

I previously sold vehicle-transporter.co.uk on ebay a couple of years back for £250, but with a website to
