General Questions
Do we need to Remove external accessories when transporting cars
Please check with the office when you make a booking as this can be assessed on a per case basis and the overall height of the vehicle.
Can you collect a non-attended vehicle?
The keys have to be handed over and a condition report will need to be signed by the person on the booking request.
A person must sign at pick up and at delivery.
This can be anyone you nominate
Can we Leave baby seats in the car being transported?
Yes. The car seat can stay as long as they are fitted, and not loose. These are not classed as goods in the car.
Do vehicles go through quarantine when moving cars interstate?
Yes, your vehicle is subject to a quarantine inspection and is subject to additional charges that may occur to customers.
These rules apply to all vehicles that travel into Western Australia and Tasmania.
This may incur a surcharge of approx $110.00 to $300.00. It pays to ensure the vehicle is as clean as possible prior to transport.
What is standard Ground Clearance for Vehicles Being Transported?
If your vehicle is going to be transported then it must have a minimum ground clearance of 15cm.
If for some reason your vehicle is lower than the 15cm ground clearance required then please contact our team and one of our staff will be able to assist you with a separate price for this.

Questions on Timings
Can I request a time to have my vehicle collected/delivered?
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.
How Much Notice Do You Need?
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.
How do you Calculate Transit Times?
Transit times are in working days, ie Monday to Friday
Transit times are an estimate only
These are estimates only and are based on business days.
Weather and other circumstances may arise beyond our control which can sometimes cause delays.
How long are quotes valid for?
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
Are depots open on weekend?
Sorry Monday to Friday only
Do you pick up on Weekends?
Business Days Only
What Are The Transport Depots Opening Times
The Depots are not open on Weekends or most national public holidays the depot hours are Monday – Friday exact opening hours are confirmed at time of booking
If you are dropping your vehicle into the depot then payment needs to be received and shown on our systems 24 hours prior to you dropping the vehicle at the depot.

However, we reserve the right to charge an administration fee if there are excessive changes.
Also, once a car has been booked and confirmed and you decide to amend it, we charge a small admin fee.
At times, the carrier charges fees for changing bookings whilst in transit.
Fees occur if, for example, you booked depot to depot and now want us to collect the car.
