Gibbo, just had ours car shipped from sydney to tweed $450 door to door, we got pretty much the same price from most carriers, althought it is cheaper to get it shipped from the transporting companys depot to depot, we took the easy option.

Send it by Rail if you can.
It cost me $275 each way from bris to newcastle and newcastle to Bris.
It was going to cost $195 each way if i sent it by rail

I would have thought about $900, so the quotes are better than what I would have been expecting!

HOW!!!!?!?!??!

Anyone know if you are allowed to load the car up with stuff as well?
This one I have bought comes with a spare engine and tranny, I am wondering if I would get away with throwing them in the back.
Thoughts?

Might get away with that sort of stuf as its not exactly what most folk would nick... unless they were VWers and then you would hope they didn'tanyways. I got told that the car should be empty for transport, but if you say that they are part of the car (replacement parts etc) then I reckon you could have them left in the car.

Gibbo,
I paid $600 to have the Dualcab picked up in Melbourne last month (from a residential address) and dropped to their depot at Capalaba in Bris where I picked it up, this was the cheapest quote, though if you are getting only a beetle it will probably be cheaper. The other quotes that I got were around the $800 mark. It is more expensive if the vehicle is not a runner. I can find the firms details if you are interested. Think they were called Affordable Car Carriers from memory.

Haha, I live in Oakleigh. Hope you get it sorted. Too bad I'm busy, I could drive it up for the cost of fuel! That'd be fun. Hmmm, maybe there's a business idea there. Life becomes one long road trip.🙂
Gibbo ·
Yeah I would do that myself, I work for Virgin Blue so I could get a cheap flight down there, but the car isnt registered, and porb needs a tune up as its been off the road for a while.

so do speedy transport non going cars as well for that price or would that be more. looking at a Baja down in Melb that has wheels but no motor. have to see if it is worthwhile trying to get it up here.
Gibbo ·
They didnt ask if the car was running so I cant tell you m8, give em a bell.
They asked what my best quote so far was, then they beat it by $60!
Nice 🙂

when are you looking at getting your car brought up here. I am thinking of seeing how much it is to fly down hiring a truck and then driving back to brissy. this would be late november/december but may be able to go halves in the cost
it is just an idea at the moment.
