Thread: Who is cheapest co. for vehicle transport in Australia

I recently used SMB Car Transport to carry my 130 dual cab from Brisbane to near Geelong Vic. Door to door service was $880. I thought about flying up and driving home, but when I added the cost of the flight and fuel for the drive home, along with time and convenience, I thought it was well worth it, and that was delivered to my driveway in a country town.
It is cheaper if you elect to have the vehicle delivered to a transport depot in a major city at either end of the trip for ease of pick up by the transport company.

We shipped out D2a from Alice to Melbourne via Northline and this is how they did it. Sutton Motors were also helpful in recommending freight options at the time.

I had a problem: as the car wasn't drivable the car carriers wouldn't move it or if they would they wanted even more money. From memory it was about $800 and the cheapest car carrier was about $1500 (if the car had been drivable). SO I would check with the freight companies, not just the car carriers and see what they can do. Maybe talk to their Coff's office/agent rather than a local one to you.
