Is $250.00 a bit steep to pick up a Landy and drop it off (Tas) - say three hours round trip?
I'm shopping around of course but wondered what the general experience is.
Does any member in the Hobart region offer this service?
Regards,
David.

no it's not , would you do it for less if you were running a business?

I'd say $250 is pretty good - here in Perth it cost me $150 to get mine picked up from work and dropped at home, which is all of 10km away at most.

At around $80 per hour, wages and fixed expenses plus consumables plus a margin for both Mr Abbott and the owner... Added to that the smaller possible 'catchment' of a village in, - where did you say?- "Tasmania"? .....
Fair price.
To be honest, I'd have had the same reaction...till prompted to think about it..

Hello from Brisbane.
The obvious question is "what is the alternative"?
Unless you can find a willing colleague with a free trailer etc etc to help, or genuinely like to be hands on, then $250 starts to look pretty good.

Does that $250 include insurance? Bob

$250 would be about average for a tilt tray picked up and delivered within metro Sydney.
I recently hired a tilt tray from Hertz at $240/day and it cost about $90.00 for diesel to cover 160km. Car trailer hire are usually over $100/day and you still have to pay fuel etc.

That's a hard question to answer as I'm not in that line of business, which, is I guess, why I was asking the question.
Cheers.

Interesting one Bob, thanks. I hadn't thought of Insurance.
