Scoping the right van
We find out what you are after, match it to the right van and confirm the exact specification with you in writing.
Transport and registration
Getting it to the Island and registered, as part of our service.
From the UK to the Isle of Man
A specialist vehicle transport company moves your van from the UK to the Island, insured in transit, and Island registration is part of our service. Depending on where your van is coming from, we can hold it at a partner site near Guildford in the south or near Lancaster in the north, so it can be shipped together with others or when it suits you. The cost and expected delivery date are set out on your quotation.

Questions about buying
Why can’t I just buy these vans direct from your suppliers?
Because our suppliers don’t sell to the public. They are trade businesses with no customer-facing side, so they sell only to approved trade buyers, which is how we get access to their pre-registered and surplus new stock. We buy the van from them, then arrange transport to the Island and handle registration, so you deal with one business and one written quotation.
Does RAAD hold the vans in stock?
No, we don’t run a forecourt, but that doesn’t make us slow. We buy from UK trade suppliers, and many vans are already in stock with them, so we can move quickly. Your quotation confirms availability, price and delivery date before you commit.
How does Isle of Man delivery work?
Once your van has been bought, it is moved from the UK to the Island by a specialist vehicle transport company that does this every day and carries insurance for vehicles in transit. Depending on where your van is coming from, we can hold it at a partner site near Guildford in the south or near Lancaster in the north, so it can be shipped together with others or when it suits you. The delivery cost and expected date are shown on your quotation.
Are prices including VAT?
Listings show prices excluding VAT. VAT treatment for your purchase is confirmed on the quotation.
