Car Transport

[Smithy101]

I need to transport a car from Perth to Brisbane so am wondering if anyone has done this recently (or maybe sydney/bris to perth) who they used and approx how much.

[Mungrel]

I'm keen to know this too as ill be looking at doing the same in the coming year.

Use the :search: Luke!

There are quite a few threads on good transport companies to try and others to probably avoid. Admittedly they won't have prices for Brisbane to Perth (probably a bloody fortune) but for example in early Jan this year I had a car transported from Brisbane to Melbourne (depot to depot) for just over $400. That was with Patrick Autocare and I was very happy with them, though admittedly it was only basically a hack car to be used while I waited for my VE so I wasn't unduly fussed.

However, it arrived with no marks, only about 0.2km added on the clock and no petrol or anything missing! :thumbsup:

Gordons transport (yellow pages), cost me $990 to send a VS ute Perth to Brisvegas, I had to give 2 weeks notice to them.

They cost on size AND weight though and my ute was empty.

Autotrans. Cost me 1050 from Melbourne to Darwin. Should give you a good idea from Perth. Took 10 days. Good service and tracking of the car on the net.

that's toll and they would have transported it via the railway network..

Toll / Autotrans is the same thing. Autotrans is the car transport part of the business.
Had fours cars transported to date in a last few years. 2 by road and 2 by train. No differance in price bar the usual CPI rubbish. I think it is all train now but makes no difference really.

[WraithGTO]

Yes it was Autotrans and it came by ship, Due to the train derails at the time.

Check if they do put it in a container for you , I got a senator over from Melbourne to Perth via autotrans and when it turned up it was absolutly filthy , dust got into it everywhere , took ages to clean .

I saw them put it in the container, the day I dropped it off, I got a call saying the ship had docked and I could pick it up the next day,

when I picked it up from the depot the Car was as clean as when I gave it to them in Brisbane and only 1 km extra on the clock

Sorry mate i didnt mean to question weather your car had been in a container or not . i was just saying that smithy101 should ask about container because it might not be standard .

A Container is better.

I sent a race car to Barbagallo and back and it cost me $2680 return.
The car above it leaked oil all over the bonnet and it had a fair bit of dust all over it.

If it travels down the bottom they can get stone chipped as well.
