Thread: Any ideas?? Move vehicle from NSW to Vic

Now the normal price on a carrier is about $1200 from Melbourne to Canberra, maybe cheaper as a back load, so the quoted $2300 on a tilt tray is a lot more but then it is the only load they will have.<br>

So any thoughts on this as I would obviously prefer to pay the least amount possible - also some aspects of this problem have been discussed in this thread so any updated thoughts would also be appreciated.<br>

Is it possible for you to tow it to Albury, get a local tilt tray operator to take it across the border and get other party to pick it up from Wodonga and trailer it to Ballarat? Take a bit of arranging but would be cheaper than the tilt tray all the way.

Hi Roger - unfortunately we are in lockdown so if I leave home I cannot get back - I suppose I could sneak back in but is not the right thing to do - the local cops have been blocking all the rat runs.
