A French registered car in the UK caught up in travel restrictions with owner now out of the UK

A French registered car in the UK caught up in travel restrictions with owner now out of the UK - Man Driving Vehicle Near Tree

A person had traveled from France by car to visit relatives in the UK and then had to fly out to Ireland on a family medical emergency ( an expected short duration. ) leaving their French registered car parked up on the road in the UK. COVID travel restrictions then came in both in Ireland and UK forcing the person to remain outside of the UK. Is there anyway that the French registered car could be moved to a safe location legally when the owner who is not UK national is outside of the UK?



Best Answer

The owner (now in Ireland) could send the keys by courier (FedEx, UPS, DHL, et al) to a friend, or their aforementioned relatives, in the UK and have them drive the car to a safe location.
