The fuel levy is currently 51.39% (as at 12/10/2026). It is a percentage of the transport price that moves with diesel prices, it is shown as its own line on every quote, and it is not included in our "From" route prices. The current rate is always published at https://automovers.au/FuelLevy.

Transit times vary by route. Most east-coast routes between Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne take 3–8 business days depot to depot, and Perth to or from the east coast takes 10–18 business days. Remote routes such as Darwin and the north-west take longer. You'll receive an estimated delivery window when your booking is confirmed.

Yes. All vehicles transported by Auto Mover Australia are covered by our carrier's insurance during transit. We recommend documenting your vehicle's condition with photos before handover. You can upload vehicle photos directly when getting a quote.

With Door-to-Door, our driver collects your vehicle from your address and delivers it to the destination address — the most convenient option. Depot-to-Depot requires you to drop off and collect your vehicle at our depots, which is the most cost-effective option. We also offer mixed options (Door-to-Depot or Depot-to-Door).

Yes, we can transport non-running vehicles. A non-running surcharge applies to cover the additional equipment and handling required. Please select 'No' under the 'Vehicle Running?' option when getting your quote so the correct price is calculated.

We allow a small amount of personal items in the vehicle (up to 80kg), however a goods-in-vehicle fee applies. Items must be stored in the boot or back seat and should not obstruct the driver's view. We are not liable for personal belongings left in the vehicle.

Once your booking is confirmed, you'll have access to our Customer Portal where you can track your vehicle's status in real time — from assigned, collected, in transit, to delivered. You'll also receive SMS and email notifications at key milestones.

Ensure your vehicle has at least a quarter tank of fuel, remove all toll tags and parking passes, deactivate any alarm systems, and leave a spare key with the driver. Make sure the vehicle is accessible and someone is available at the pickup address on the scheduled date.

Pricing is based on the transport route (origin and destination depots), vehicle category (Sedan/Hatch, SUV/4WD, or Van/Commercial/Ute), service type (door-to-door vs depot-to-depot), and additional factors like fuel levy, non-running surcharge, or goods-in-vehicle fee. All prices include GST.

The fuel levy is a variable surcharge that reflects current diesel fuel prices. It is automatically adjusted based on national fuel price indices and applied as a percentage of the base transport cost. The current fuel levy rate is displayed on your quote.

Simply use the 'Get Instant Quote' form on the homepage. Enter your pickup and delivery suburbs, select your vehicle, fill in your contact details, and click 'Get My Quote'. You'll instantly see pricing for all service types and can proceed to book online in minutes.

The right carrier depends on your route and vehicle, but four things are worth checking before you book: that transit insurance is included rather than something you arrange, that the quote is a fixed total including GST and fuel levy, that the company services both ends of your route itself, and that you can track progress without phoning for updates. Auto Mover Australia has a 22-depot national network, carrier's transit insurance, GST-inclusive quotes and live portal tracking.

Depot-to-depot is the cheapest option on almost every route — you drop off and collect at our depots, which removes the door collection and delivery legs that make up much of a door-to-door price. Flexible dates help too, since your vehicle can travel on a truck already running that route. Price also depends on vehicle size, whether it drives under its own power, and goods left inside. Door one end and depot the other is a sensible middle ground.

Reliability is easier to check than to claim. Look for transit times quoted as a realistic business-day range rather than one optimistic date, your vehicle's condition recorded on a report at handover, updates that arrive without you chasing them, and a phone number answered by a person when plans change. Auto Mover Australia quotes transit as a business-day range, sends SMS and email at each milestone, and answers on 1300 599 515.
