What can we transport for you?

We transport sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs, wagons, Utes, dual-cabs, 4WDs, small and large vans, and motorcycles between Adelaide and Melbourne. If you’re running a tray, canopy, or high-roof van, mention it when you enquire. Motorcycles travel on the same open carrier as cars, secured with soft straps — no contact with the frame or bodywork. Every vehicle is fully insured and condition-reported before it moves.

Transport prices from $490

Final price is calculated based on vehicle size, how it's collected, and it's running condition.

Running condition

Running vehicles are loaded at standard rates. Non-running vehicles need specialist equipment to load, which adds to the cost.

Door to door vs depot

Depot to depot is a cheaper option, you drop off and collect from our deports. Door to door costs more, but we handle the pickup and delivery to your address.

Vehicle Size

The bigger the vehicle, the more space it occupies on the carrier and the higher the rate. A small hatchback costs less to move than a dual-cab Ute or a large SUV.

Low approach loading to prevent scraping

Our carriers use ramps with a controlled loading angle so vehicles can be driven onto the truck smoothly. This reduces the risk of the front bumper or undercarriage scraping while loading.

Vehicle is carefully centred before securing

Once the car is on the carrier bed, the driver carefully positions it in the correct loading spot. The vehicle is centred and aligned to ensure proper weight distribution and stability during transport.

Wheels are secured without touching painted surfaces

Your car is secured using soft wheel straps attached to dedicated anchor points on the carrier. The straps hold the tyres firmly in place without using hooks or chains on the body of the car.

How we safely load and secure your car?

Your vehicle is handled using controlled loading techniques and soft securing systems designed to protect the body, wheels, and suspension during transport.
