dealer delivery fee australia

In Australia, the dealer delivery fee is the not-so-mystical line item that covers pre-delivery checks, cleaning, plates and the salesperson’s coffee fund—allegedly.

Expect mainstream brands to charge roughly $800–$2,500, with premium or regional deliveries sometimes nudging $3,000–$4,000.

It’s not a government charge—that’s stamp duty, rego and CTP—so the fee is negotiable, especially if you’re signing today or bundling accessories.

If an ad says “drive-away,” that price should already include dealer delivery; “plus on-roads” means you’ll see it itemised at contract time.

Ask for a breakdown of what’s included, compare quotes across dealers, and don’t be shy about trimming it—worst case, they say no and offer floor mats instead.

Figures vary by brand, model and location; consult official documentation for exact figures.
