car delivery cost

Moving a car across Australia isn’t free just because gravity is. For metro hops, budget roughly AUD 150–400; Sydney–Melbourne or Brisbane runs are usually AUD 400–900, depending on timing and demand.

East coast to Perth can jump to around AUD 1,500–3,000, and add more for oversized 4x4s, non-runners, or urgent bookings. Depot-to-depot is cheaper than door-to-door, and enclosed transport can be 30–60% extra. Insurance is often optional and worth the few extra dollars if you love your paint more than your dignity.
