Pickup and delivery options
Handover options depend on the location and selected service. Capital cities and larger centres may offer depot or address collection and delivery. In smaller towns, handover may be at your address, through a local agent or at an agreed meeting point with the driver. Your quote confirms the available arrangement. The enclosed-network depots listed on this page identify transport connections; they are not necessarily your pickup or delivery handover points.
Enclosed transport and connecting legs
Enclosed transport is available between capital-city depots in both directions. Townsville is also part of this enclosed depot network and is treated as a capital-city depot for quoting purposes.
For Bundaberg–Cairns, the enclosed option combines these legs in either direction:
- Bundaberg ↔ Brisbane depot: standard carrier.
- Brisbane depot ↔ Townsville depot: enclosed transport.
- Townsville depot ↔ Cairns: standard carrier.
Moving Cars arranges the full journey, including the standard-carrier connections; you do not need to organise those legs separately. This is a mixed enclosed/standard service, not enclosed transport for the entire journey.
To request enclosed rates, obtain a standard vehicle quote, then reply requesting an enclosed upgrade. Confirm the depot locations, enclosed leg and any standard-carrier connections before booking. The initial standard quote does not book an enclosed service. See the enclosed enquiry guide.
Bundaberg to Cairns
Enter the precise Bundaberg pickup location, including a surrounding town or coastal address where relevant. Check when the vehicle will be available and give the release contact the carrier’s instructions. At Cairns, identify the final destination and any receiving hours or access restrictions.
Cairns to Bundaberg
For collection in Cairns, say whether the vehicle is at a residence, business or accommodation. If the Bundaberg destination is outside the city, supply its postcode and explain the access. Do not assume a town handover includes a further journey to your property.
Avoid gaps in the last part of your journey
Check the delivery point stated in the quote and how you will get the vehicle from there. If depot collection is offered, confirm the location and opening hours before arranging someone to collect. If an address cannot accommodate the carrier, ask for a confirmed alternative rather than relying on a roadside handover you have chosen yourself.
Can someone else receive my car?
Tell the booking team who will attend and confirm any authority or identification requirements with the carrier. The receiving person needs the handover instructions and should be available at the agreed location.
Before collection
Have a quarter tank of fuel or a charged EV, keys and release details ready. Photograph the vehicle’s condition and follow the preparation checklist. Report starting, rolling, steering or braking problems so specialist transport can be assessed where needed.
Every available quote offers a Goods in Car option. If you want to carry belongings, select and book the option, then follow the chosen carrier’s allowance and packing rules. See the belongings guide.
Check the cost guide when comparing inclusions. Confirm collection and delivery arrangements and discuss deadlines before booking; timing estimates can change.
