Get Your Car or Van to the NCT or CVRT (VTN) Test Centre

Need to get your car to the NCT or your van to a CVRT/VTN test centre but it’s not roadworthy, won’t start, or you can’t risk a breakdown on the way? RescueMe.ie connects drivers to local recovery and vehicle transport providers who can tow or transport your vehicle safely to your appointment—on time. This is ideal for vehicles with expired NCT, warning lights, flat batteries, failed repairs, or vans that need a CVRT re-test.

NCT and CVRT test centre transport – when you can’t drive the vehicle

There are lots of legitimate reasons to transport a vehicle to a test centre instead of driving it: expired test, unsafe tyres, brake issues, overheating, steering concerns, limp mode, battery problems, or a van that’s off the road. RescueMe.ie lets you request the right service based on the vehicle’s condition.

Car to NCT appointment

  • Tow or transport to your booked NCT time
  • Non-start vehicles (battery/immobiliser issues)
  • Vehicles not safe or legal to drive
  • Pickup from home, work, garage or storage yard
  • Option to return the car after the test

Van to CVRT/VTN test centre

  • Tow/transport for vans and light commercial vehicles
  • Ideal for failed tests and re-tests
  • Breakdown recovery if the van won’t move
  • Transport to a garage before/after the test
  • Flexible destinations for drop-off
Best practice: If your vehicle is borderline roadworthy, don’t gamble on the drive. Transport it and protect your appointment slot.

Pricing and payment

RescueMe.ie is built to give you clarity before you proceed. You’ll see the job pricing so you can decide whether to go ahead, and you pay the provider for the transport you request. Pricing depends on distance, vehicle type (car/van), access/loading difficulty, and timing.

Important: If the vehicle can’t roll or steer, tell us upfront so the correct equipment is sent.

Quick checklist before transport to NCT/CVRT

Before pickup

  • Have keys ready and phone on
  • Clear access: gates, tight driveways, blocked parking
  • Know if the steering/brakes are functional
  • Remove valuables and loose items

At the test centre

  • Confirm where to drop the vehicle (lane/parking area)
  • If you need return transport, pre-arrange it
  • If it fails, set destination to garage or home
  • Keep appointment details available
Return trip: If you want the car/van brought home after the test, request a return job when booking so it’s planned properly.
