    For what it's worth, i'd advise you strongly against paying for a car you haven't personally inspected.

    Yeap if I was forking out thousands of euros on a car I'd make the time to inspect the car to be honest otherwise you wouldn't know what would arrive at your door.

    To answer the original question, have no idea if there is any company out there that provides such a service. If the car was being bought closer to the ferry port then you could kindly arrange with the seller to meet up there to conclude the deal.

    You can get the AA to do a check on the car, which is more that strongly advised to do.
    There is no real need to see the car if you know what you are about, and are very familiar with the make & model & engine choice etc... Once you've had it professionally looked over.
    These guys will spot things that you'd never even think of looking for.
    Back to thread though...no I don't know any movers, but did you google it yet?

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    No offence to the AA, but i'd still want to examine it myself.
