Tow Trucks In Vic ?

[Longz]

Hi guys looking at towing a unregistered car from

Melb > Sydney

Does anyone have any contacts to recommend ?

Also how much roughly will it cost ?

[gtr jet]

Does it have to be towed or could you get a permit and drive it? Trailer it?

I'd imagine towing would be quite expensive. Try looking at vehicle transport.

Ceva

[ashneel]

i got my car transported from perth to victoria and it was $550 was here in 6 days. so vic to nsw be cheaper

[Sunkist]

Yep, we use them because cheap and safe

Used CEVA to transport 3 cars. All good experiences.

Do ceva have a height limit on how low a car can be? Looking at shipping a car from perth to melb and all the companies I've found so far all say the cars have to be above 140mm.

You're best to call them and ask. They have race/prestige car transport that uses a hydraulic lift rather than ramps but you'd be paying through the arse for that.

Nope, i remember seeing an SLS AMG that got sent through them and they are effing low, they just add ramps, and make sure you get heaps of pics before they load the car up so you know if(unlikely) any damage is made

[ashneel]

there are different options.

if you go for standered transport then the requirement is for the cars lowest point to be 140mm.

if you go for the race and prestige option then no height requirement cause as juliette mentioned they use hydrolyic lifts etc but you do pay through the arse for that.

Prefer tow truck with tilt trailer anyone got any contacts

[Sunkist]

Interstate with one of the,mis going to be as expensive as prestige ceva

[Odium]

Is it drivable? Can you get an unregistered vehicle permit for it?

May be cheaper to get a budget flight and then drive it down...

[emts]

well if your determined to get a tow truck

most of the members here use:

Jack from Citywide towing.. 0419 877 437

He has been a long term member owning a bunch of imports and knows how to look after them.

that said don't get a shock when he quotes.

this will be thousands, remember it's at least 2 days prob 3 days of just driving, fuel, food and the rest.

remember he looks after us so you best be nice as well. (plus he big and scary..just kidding jack)

[Longz]

Will give him a call later already had a 800 quote

[emts]

800 for a tilt tow truck driver to go to syd and back from melb....

haha he putting it on the train..

[emts]

actually I could be wrong, if you found one that had a one way trip the other direction then that would be very fair.

else

melb - syd 10-12 hours driving.

add in 1-2 hours on each end for load/unload.

looking 22-30 hours non stop

800$ = noway I would do that.
