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 Toowoomba–Canberra, the enclosed option combines these legs in either direction:

  • Toowoomba ↔ Brisbane depot: standard carrier.
  • Brisbane depot ↔ Canberra depot: enclosed transport.

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.

Toowoomba to Canberra

For pickup in Toowoomba, describe the location and any steep driveway, narrow approach or restricted turning space. If the vehicle is elsewhere on the Darling Downs, use that actual location. Confirm the Canberra receiving contact’s availability before accepting a handover arrangement.

Canberra to Toowoomba

For collection in Canberra, check vehicle release and building or business access. Enter the precise Toowoomba delivery location. Tell us if the destination is a rural property or a surrounding town so the quote can address that final leg instead of ending at an unsuitable city handover.

Separate release dates from arrival deadlines

Give the earliest date the vehicle is available and explain any work, purchase or relocation deadline. Ask how the carrier will confirm collection and delivery arrangements, and what flexibility you need. Estimated transit does not establish a fixed appointment; arrange an alternative contact if your own travel prevents you attending.

Can a workplace be used for handover?

Provide the address, hours, contact and any access or security requirements for assessment. The carrier must confirm the location is suitable before you rely on a workplace pickup or delivery.

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.
