Shipping car interstate?

[GTS_DUY]

g'day guys,

wanted to post to see if anybody has had experience, or knows anybody trustworthy who can truck a car down to canberra from coffs harbour?

also, how much does this usually cost? time?

i know andrew (V33) had some bad experience before, but that was just in the ACT.

any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to ring the transport companys, if they have a spare slot on one of the big car traliers they can do it cheap just fill the load. As my brother had his boat shipped down like that. Cost well you will have to ask them nicley

i got my tt soarer on a atruck to sydney for $220 so i think it will be around 350 to 400 from coffs. it should be ok just tell them to be careful with the car

Talk to TNT, they do car couriering for the best price (I think it was TNT anyways...). The only downfall is they have a limited amount of "low clearance" trucks, so if the car is lowered you might have to wait a while for a truck to do a BNE -> SYD -> MEL route before it can pick your car up.

yeah my experience was with a tow company, who shall remain nameless

and also with everlast aswell, but everlast didnt do to much damage, but Nik's pretty much right on the money, if the car is low let them know and ask them to make sure its looked after and you should be fine.

car movers and TNT quoted me $620 (inc that basic insurance they offer)

carways quoted $440, so i'll have to ring them back, not sure if it's the same service, or how it works for the price to be so cheap.

Maybe it might be worthwhile catching a plane or train, etc to coff's in the morning and drive back? Might be a lot cheaper if the car is drivable and you're up to it?

car from what i've heard from the owner and from the pictures i've seen, is very driveable and in excellent condition for its age. but i don't particularly want to drive it all the way from coffs just after buying.

the seller said he found some cheaper quotes on freighting. and that carways for $440 looks good.

just see what i can do with my current car, and if all goes well, will be having some fun by friday next week
