Route and distance
Carriers run established routes. A vehicle going along one of those costs less than one needing a detour.
Vehicles travel in a covered carrier rather than being driven across — nothing is added to the odometer and the paint is not exposed to a thousand kilometres of road.
The cheapest way to move a car between cities is to pay somebody to drive it. It is also the way that adds hundreds of kilometres to the odometer, wears the clutch and tyres, and puts your vehicle in someone else's hands on a highway.
We carry vehicles on a covered carrier instead. The vehicle is loaded, chocked and strapped at the wheels — never over the body — and travels enclosed. Its condition is recorded and photographed before loading and again at delivery, so there is a shared record rather than an argument.
Carriers run established routes. A vehicle going along one of those costs less than one needing a detour.
A hatchback, an SUV and a motorcycle each take a different amount of space on the carrier.
Collection from your door costs more than dropping the vehicle at a loading point, and large carriers often cannot enter residential lanes at all.
It travels on a vehicle carrier, not in the goods truck, but both can run on the same booking and be coordinated to arrive around the same time. One coordinator handles both.
Your own motor policy and any transit cover offered are separate things. Ask us what cover applies to the carrier and confirm with your insurer what your policy covers while the vehicle is being transported — do not assume either one covers everything.
Where the lane allows a carrier, yes. Many residential streets do not, in which case we agree a nearby loading point. We check this at booking rather than discovering it on the day.
Motorcycles and scooters are crated or secured upright on stands and strapped at the frame. Mirrors are usually folded or removed to avoid contact in transit.
Tell us the make, both cities, and whether you need door pickup.
