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 Darwin–Port Hedland, the enclosed option combines these legs in either direction:

• Darwin depot ↔ Perth depot: enclosed transport.
• Perth depot ↔ Port Hedland: 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.

Darwin to Port Hedland

Confirm the Darwin release address and earliest available date. Before the vehicle travels to Port Hedland, review WA entry preparation and the carrier’s instructions. Provide the actual delivery location, distinguishing Port Hedland, South Hedland or an out-of-town site where relevant.

Port Hedland to Darwin

For collection in the Port Hedland area, specify the real location and any security or worksite restrictions. Disclose modifications and the vehicle’s current running condition. Give the Darwin destination and receiving contact; request a separate quote for this direction and your required dates.

Check WA entry and site access separately

For Darwin to Port Hedland, use the WA quarantine guide to plan cleaning and check belongings. Permission to carry goods does not waive entry restrictions. Site access is a separate issue: provide gate rules, hours and a reachable contact, and ask whether the carrier can serve the address or needs a confirmed alternative.

Does a Port Hedland quote cover South Hedland?

Enter the actual suburb and postcode. Rely on the locations confirmed in the quote rather than assuming nearby places or worksites share the same handover arrangements.

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.
