About this service

Driving a car 1,500 km to a new city means fuel, tolls, two days of your time and wear on the vehicle. Putting it on a carrier is usually the simpler call.

Car transport is priced by route, carrier type and how quickly you need it. Comparing a few offers is the fastest way to see what's reasonable for your particular route.

What car transportation includes

  1. 01

    Door-to-door transport

    Collection from your address and delivery to the new one, where the route allows.

  2. 02

    Vehicle pickup

    A scheduled pickup slot, with condition noted and recorded before loading.

  3. 03

    Open or enclosed carriers

    Open carriers are the common choice; enclosed suits premium or low-clearance vehicles.

  4. 04

    Transit handling

    Vehicles secured on the carrier with wheel straps rather than chassis chaining.

  5. 05

    Documentation

    Transit paperwork, vehicle condition record and delivery acknowledgement.

  6. 06

    Delivery confirmation

    A check against the pickup condition record when the vehicle is handed over.

Why this works well for car transportation

  • No highway kilometres added

    Your odometer, tyres and service interval stay where they were.

  • Route-specific providers

    Carriers already running your route can often quote better than general movers.

  • Carrier choice

    Decide between open and enclosed once you can see the price difference for your route.

  • Coordinate with your home move

    Many customers arrange vehicle transport alongside a household shift.

Car Transportation questions

Short intercity routes often complete in one to two days. Long-distance runs across the country typically take five to eight days depending on the route and loading schedule.

Most carriers ask you not to. Loose items aren't covered under transit terms and add weight. Check with your chosen provider before loading anything.

Providers generally ask for a quarter tank or less. Enough to drive on and off the carrier, no more.

Registration certificate, valid insurance and your ID. Some providers ask for a copy of the pollution certificate as well.
