Everything about Car Transport Australia
How much does car transport cost in Australia?
Pricing depends on distance, vehicle size, whether it runs, and the pickup and delivery locations. Sydney to Melbourne typically ranges from a few hundred dollars for a sedan on a shared trailer up to more for enclosed carriers or regional pickups. Posting your job on LoadBid lets carriers with backloads offer sharper prices than a single quote.
Preparing your vehicle
Wash the car so scratches are visible, keep fuel to about a quarter tank, disable the alarm, and remove personal items. Note any pre-existing damage in the pickup handover — every LoadBid job has an in-app photo record so both parties are protected.
