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 Gladstone–Port Hedland, the enclosed option combines these legs in either direction:
- Gladstone ↔ Brisbane depot: standard carrier.
- Brisbane 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.
Gladstone to Port Hedland
Confirm the Gladstone collection point, release authority and any workplace hours. Give the real Port Hedland-area destination, including a site outside town if applicable. Prepare the vehicle for entry into WA and check the required cleaning and contents rules before it is collected.
Port Hedland to Gladstone
For a vehicle returning to Gladstone, describe its current condition and any fitted work equipment. Confirm who can release it at the Port Hedland endpoint and how the carrier can access that location. Nominate a receiving contact in Gladstone if you may still be travelling when it arrives.
Prepare a work vehicle for the complete journey
Include canopies, racks and other modifications in the dimensions supplied for the quote. Empty loose work equipment unless it is accepted under a booked Goods in Car option. For the westbound move, follow the WA entry guidance as well as carrier instructions; workplace use or an allowance for belongings does not remove quarantine requirements.
Can an employer arrange release or receipt?
Provide the responsible contact, their authority and hours, plus any security conditions. Confirm the arrangement with the booking team so the carrier is not relying on an unavailable employee or inaccessible site.
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.
