Hey guys,
I'm after a little help with transporting my car.. I am moving from Victoria to Brisbane and have decided it's going to cost way to much and be to hard on the car to drive it all that way. So looks like I'll need to put it on a truck and get it transported up, however I'm not Overly keen on this as I've heard a few horror story's about cars getting damaged or driven by the truck drivers 🙄 So I'm after suggestions on what company to go with? I'm happy to pay more if it means my car will be safe Cheers |

I went with prixcartransport and couldn't recommend them more. Under $900 from Mackay to Adelaide. However, it did take 2 weeks to get the car but probably needed to fill the truck to be worth their while.

I used CEVA to get my GT-F to Melbourne from Perth. Very happy with the service. But certainly with CEVA they have different levels of service, so talk to whoever you intend to use about how they handle the car and options to reduce the risk of damage in transport and while in storage. I went the fully covered option, where they drive the car into a container and put it on a train. Common issue seems to be front bar damage on the newer cars getting them on and off trailers, going covered pretty much eliminated this risk.

Used Prix car 3x
Used Ceva twice. Both offered excellent service on all ocassions. Ceva guys seemed genuinely interested in the modifed car details, But again, Both have taken very good care. Not bad value for me when you look at costs involved with DIY, or are not interested in requesting offers from Gumtree types to drive, Price gets a bit dearer if you don't pick up/drop off from their transport bases in various capital cities |
