Questions On Car Transport

It is not possible to request a pickup and drop off time. The pickup/delivery will normally take place between working hours Mon – Fri. You will receive a phone call the afternoon before or the morning of pickup/delivery and be advised of a time.
The afternoon before or the morning of collecting the vehicle the carrier will contact the necessary person to advise them a window period of time of when they will be collecting the vehicle.
They will do the same at the delivery end also.

Normally 2 working days notice is fine, but rural areas are normally a bit longer
Depending on where you are going from, if it is within a Metro area of a major city then a booking request can be made and payment can be received at the latest 48 business hours prior to the vehicle being collected.
If for example, you are requesting a collection from a rural area then we need to receive a booking request and payment at the latest 3 business days prior to the vehicle being collected.

In general terms, our prices really only change as the price of fuel changes, and these changes tend to happen at the end of each month. So normally any quote you obtain will be valid for the whole of the calendar month, however as from time to time we have a few special prices that may only be valid for a few days or weeks, we cannot guarantee that all prices are valid for any more than a few days. If in doubt please just reply to your quote and ask if it’s still valid or give us a call to discuss

Sorry Monday to Friday only

Business Days Only

The Depots are not open on Weekends or most national public holidays. The depot hours are Monday – Friday. The exact opening hours are confirmed at the time of booking
If you are dropping your vehicle into the depot, payment needs to be received and shown on our systems 24 hours prior to you dropping the vehicle at the depot.

Moving Cars requires at least 2 working days’ notice to collect a car from a business or residence. This lead time ensures the collection is organised efficiently and aligns with your schedule. When you’re ready to book the transport, please visit https://movingcars.net.au/transport/book-form.php. Here, you can easily schedule the pickup at your convenience, keeping in mind the 2-day notice period for smooth service.

When booking a rural collection, customers should select the date that is most convenient for them. However, due to rural logistics, the actual collection date might vary. The carrier will contact you the day before for rural pickups to confirm the final collection date. It’s important to note that this date could be up to a week different from the initially selected date. This flexibility ensures that both the customer’s convenience and the logistical requirements of rural transport are accommodated.
