Hi guys,

I know this has been gone over a million times by now, but I've been using Google and found a few transport companies to move a car I'm looking at, and there quoting around ~1270ish to get it up here, Just wondering if any one has some contacts that may be able to transport a small car up from Brisbane at a better price?

Cheers.

try the suggestions here

there have been 11ty billion threads on this and it's always the same companies mentioned

Yeah, i used Ceva for the last car i had transported up here, and it wasnt too bad, but there quoting 1300ish for it, which puts the car out of my price range..

shit is only getting more expensive

Drive it up? Fly out friday arvo and you should be back in Darwin by Dinner time sunday to watch the news

anything under 1500 is pretty good IMO

^^^^ what he said.

mine was $1500 last year.

and if its lower than 14cm.... double it. or raise the car.

Oh shit, 14 cm?!?! any one know how low a stock AW11 MR2 is? lol.. thats some thing that i didnt think about >.<

I'll say this again (maybe make it a sticky)


For any freight/cars coming from Perth, Sydney, Brisbane or Kununnura and vise-versa, please give Shaws Darwin Transport a call on 89471224 and ask for Gary. Let him know Scotty sent you and he'll more than look after you

P.S. Doesn't matter how low it is

$1000-1500 is typical Brissy or Adelaide to Darwin prices.
If you want you can have a look around Adelaide way and get it up on the rail, but that has no Insurance... Or just drive it up yourself, Brissy to Darwin is only a bubby drive.

Scotty, it is a sticky thats whats so annoying about all these

Manusdei, there you have it. talk to this guy. height isnt an issue

Try CompareQuotes.com....I used them and saved a bundle over the CEVA quote....and weirdly enough, the car still travelled on CEVA and they did a great job.

Height of car shouldnt ever be an issue, but if you notice on most condition reports that it states cars with lowered or raised springs arent liable for insurance if damage occurs.

We had one guys once with raised Toyota springs which were ofcrouse not the standard payload strenght, and then had inside the car an gearbox and a toolbox in the back. At the time we were one of the only people allowing items in the car so we allowed it, but when his car smashed the frick out of the springs and he got there and they were dead he wasnt happy... Wasnt our issue.

I get mine for around a grand

Thanks Mate, Gave him a call and he gave me the details for another guy in Brisbane, just waiting to hear back from him.

Depending on how much he quotes, i may just fly down and drive it back up...

plugger.... the guy in sydney couldnt get his fist under the middle of my car let along get it on the back of the truck.
thats WAY too broad a statement to make.

engage brain in a forward gear, then type

Pfft.....He's got the right idea, reverse donuts ftw...

So your not allowed to have stuff in the car?

I bought an AW11 MR2 up from Brisbane a while back....no height problems.


If you're buying from a dealer get them to organise it....they get a dealer discount which they should pass on to you if you let them know you're getting them to do it because you know they get cheaper rates.


By doing it this way I paid $900 instead of the $1300 that was quoted to me directly.


Hope that helps.....an I trust you'll enjoy working on a rear-engined car with zero underside access

No, most companies will not allow you to put personal belongings in the car

Oi dickhead, how about you think for a second did your father own a car carrying company?
Secondally if its that low its illegal anyways, but even still it can get on the truck, its called longer ramps and blocks undeneath the ramps making more length...

Engage Brain before talking...

Double Post Glitch.

was going to cost me $1700 from melbourne, so ended up driving up. get to see more of australia, have a road trip and it saved me about $200 in the end.

$1500 from brissy, saving about $400 i think from driving it. This is door to door mind you. You can get depot to depot for like 1300

Ceva have deals on atm, $700 for my sierra to melb

Get a quote off there website

if the car was in adelaide would be able to get it here dirt cheap.
