if cars arnt going the price usually goes up and sometimes some may not want the job at all
only some from our experience

I got my corty from Melbourne to the NSW Central Coast for around $700 door to door. It was a bit cheaper if it went to the depot.

Although the guy was nice enough I wouldnt recommend any of them.

I contacted about about 5 and even got a call back the other day asking if I wanted it to be picked up still (a month and a half later...)

yeah i could imagine it being pretty $$$. Although all quotes im asking for are door to depot as i live 15mins away from most melbourne depots. I havnt had an answer back for a QLD pick up as yet.

Dont expect one any time too soon.

Lobster Logistics I found were the cheapest and Kym was a nice bloke but you have got to track him down and lock him in.

I used V.I.P transport to get my car from Brisbane to Melbourne. Very good service...and they also do pre-purchase vehicle inspections.

Sorry for the late reply....been on holidays. Cost $500 from QLD (location was approx. 2 hours from Brisbane) to Melbourne. The transport was door to door service and took approximately 1.5 weeks.

I don't think they have a website. Details are as follows:

PO Box 10, Pascoe Vale South. Victoria. 3044
Ph: 03/9304 3555
Fax: (03) 9304 3377
Email: vipmail@bigpond.com

Hope this helps.

Hey guys.

I ended up using CEVA, they transport Australia wide. They offer DOOR to DOOR. I paid 350 for a DEPOT to DEPOT from Canberra. Once money was sorted out i had the car with in a week !!
