How it works

Booked in two minutes. Watched all the way.

The same model people expect from a ride-hailing app, applied to moving a vehicle instead of moving a person.

1 · Post the movement

Enter the vehicle, the two addresses and when it needs to happen. You get a fixed price straight away — no waiting for quotes.

2 · A driver claims it

Your job goes to the network. Drivers nearby see it, see what it pays, and accept. You're told who has it and when they'll arrive.

3 · Track it live

A tracking link you can forward to whoever is receiving the car. They see the vehicle move on a map and a live ETA — no phone calls needed.

4 · Signed & evidenced

Timestamped condition reports and odometer readings at both ends. If there's ever a dispute, the evidence already exists.

For the person waiting

Everyone who needs to know, knows.

The biggest hidden cost in vehicle movement isn't the driver — it's the phone calls. Every Platers movement gets a shareable tracking code.

  • The booker sees every job in one dashboard, live.
  • The receiving site gets a link — no login, no app install.
  • Live ETA driven by the driver's actual position, not a guess.
  • Condition photos appear the moment the driver takes them.

Live job board

Ranked by net £/hour
For trade plate drivers

See what a job is actually worth
before you take it.

Every plater knows the trap: a job that pays well until you count the two hours getting to it and the train home afterwards. Platers does that maths for you, up front.

  • Dead mileage measured from where you actually are, not a depot.
  • Rail and fuel costs for the positioning legs, deducted.
  • A real net £/hour figure — filter out anything below your rate.
  • No bidding wars. Fixed payout, shown before you accept.
Pricing

One price, quoted up front.

Distance-based and tapered, so long movements aren't punished. What you're quoted is what you pay.

Prices include VAT and the driver's payout. Fuel, tolls and congestion charges are added at cost where applicable.
