How much does vehicle transport cost in Australia?

The cost of vehicle transport depends on factors including the vehicle type, transport distance, pickup and delivery locations, vehicle condition and transport method. For example, interstate routes, non-running vehicles, enclosed transport and remote locations may require different pricing considerations.

What information do I need to arrange vehicle transport?

To arrange vehicle transport, provide details such as the vehicle make, model, type, condition, pickup and delivery locations and preferred transport dates. Additional details like access restrictions, modifications or special handling requirements help transport companies assess your request accurately.

How long does interstate vehicle transport take?

Interstate vehicle transport timeframes depend on the route, carrier availability, distance and whether locations are metro, regional or remote. Popular routes between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are generally easier to coordinate, while regional and remote deliveries may require additional planning.

How do I choose a vehicle transport company?

When choosing a vehicle transport company, consider the provider’s availability, transport capability, experience with your vehicle type and ability to meet your collection and delivery requirements. Freightland allows you to review responses from registered transport companies before selecting a provider.

Can I transport an unregistered or non-running vehicle?

Yes, many unregistered or non-running vehicles can be transported using suitable equipment such as tilt tray vehicles or specialised carriers. Include details about the vehicle’s condition when submitting your request so transport providers can determine the appropriate transport method.

What is the difference between open and enclosed vehicle transport?

Open vehicle transport is commonly used for everyday cars, SUVs, 4WDs and utes on local and interstate routes. Enclosed transport provides additional protection and is often selected for prestige, classic, collector or high-value vehicles.

Can I transport a car, motorcycle, caravan or boat interstate?

Yes, Freightland supports transport enquiries for a wide range of vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, caravans, motorhomes, trailer boats and other recreational vehicles. Transport options depend on the vehicle type, destination, access requirements and carrier availability.

Can vehicles be transported to Tasmania?

Yes, vehicles can be transported to Tasmania, with movements involving a Bass Strait crossing. Customers should consider vehicle dimensions, booking requirements and collection arrangements when planning Tasmanian vehicle transport.

Arrange Vehicle Transport Through One Marketplace

Vehicle transport helps businesses and individuals move cars, motorcycles, boats, caravans, motorhomes and trailers across Australia. While car transport is one of the most common requirements, vehicle transport also supports everything from interstate relocations and dealership transfers to auction purchases, fleet movements and seasonal caravan travel.

Rather than contacting transport companies individually, Freightland Carriers Australia brings registered transport companies and owner-drivers together through one freight marketplace. Submit your transport requirement once, compare carrier responses, communicate directly with transport providers, and choose the option that best suits your needs. This saves time, simplifies vehicle transport planning, and makes it easier to compare available transport options in one place.

Types of Vehicle Transport We Support

From everyday passenger vehicles to specialised recreational vehicles, Freightland's marketplace helps connect businesses and individuals with registered transport companies for a wide range of vehicle transport requirements across Australia. Some vehicle movements may also be suitable for backload transport where a carrier has available capacity on an existing route. Availability depends on the carrier's route, vehicle capacity and timing.

Car Transport

Interstate relocations, dealership transfers and auction purchases are some of the most common reasons Australians arrange car transport service. Freightland's marketplace supports passenger vehicles, SUVs, 4WDs, utes, classic and non-running vehicles.

Motorcycle Transport

Motorcycles, scooters, dirt bikes and other two-wheeled vehicles often require secure handling and specialised loading during transport, particularly for longer interstate journeys.

Boat Transport

Whether it's a fishing boat heading north, a jet ski for the summer, or a trailer boat relocating interstate, road transport is available for many trailerable watercraft.

Caravan & Motorhome Transport

From weekend getaways to the grey nomad lifestyle, caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes and fifth wheelers are regularly transported between states and regional destinations.

Trailer Transport

Box trailers, horse floats, plant trailers and enclosed trailers are commonly transported for private owners, businesses and project-based work across Australia.

Vehicle Transport Options for Different Requirements

Understanding different transport options can help you determine which service best suits your vehicle before requesting transport through Freightland's marketplace.

Open Car Carriers

Best suited to standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, 4WDs and utes travelling established routes where enclosed protection isn't required.

Enclosed Vehicle Transport

Often selected for prestige, classic and collector vehicles where additional protection from weather and road debris is important.

Dedicated Vehicle Transport

Useful when a vehicle requires dedicated capacity, has a specific delivery timeframe, or is travelling to a location that doesn't suit a multi-vehicle carrier.

Tilt Tray Transport

Suitable for non-running, damaged, unregistered or difficult-to-load vehicles where the vehicle cannot be driven onto a conventional carrier.
