Moving Car Interstate (Perth To Brisbane)

[VNS 24]

Hi everyone,

As topic said, I want to transport my Nissan Dualis from Perth to Brisbane.

If anyone can input some information, that would be great (With license, rego, etc.).

FYI, I might be moving to Brisbane for work for indefinitely in the next 2-3 months. (I will miss you guys)

Thank you.

i have done the vic - perth then back again.

Cant speak for the QLD rego system but here you provide 12+ months of ownership and they transfer it on the spot without a pits check. May have the same set up there?

I have used CEVA (use to be TNT) for my transport but there are heaps of companys out there (most removels companys will do it along with your belongings). Keep in mind that a Dualis will cost a bit more being a '4X4' and sits on the upper deck of the train carrage. Thats either good or bad depending on how you look at it, more chance of a rock hitting it but my car was on the lower deck and it was covered in brake dust/dirt by the time it got here.

Also if its just for a shord time to start with then most states let you stay on you current rego for about 3 months before you 'have to change it over'.

Hope that helps

Thanks, Null.

I just bought the Dualis last December so it won't be a year when I transport it. I am just worried rego transfer and pit check is not much hussle. It's stock so would be fine. The price doesn't matter, as my company is going to handle that, along with my belongings.

Another thing just came in mind, I am putting on my personal plate onto Dualis. Will that be gone if the car gets its rego transfers?

Thanks again.

Again dont know the QLD system but if you do have to do their version of the pits then its not too bad just takes time i guess.

Our Rav had personal plates on it (Vic) and no you dont get to keep them. We had the car for 5+ years with the plates so money wise its not a loss but if you just got your's then it will be. If the combonation is available i say you will be able to get them done in QLD but ofcourse you will have to pay again.

Hi Chris, it should be exciting.

One thing for sure is everything is cheaper there. I was looking at renting houses online and I can get a good 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 car port house for AU$300-$400, which in Perth is quite impossible. Car prices are cheap, as well as food.

I should be going for training for a week soon, and will experience first hand how Brisbane city is.

makes perth look like a country town, thats how i explain it to family (all in Vic so use to Melb).
