Car Transport Brisbane to Melbourne

Reliable, fully insured vehicle transport Brisbane to Melbourne — from $495, 3–8 business day transit over roughly 1,680 km. Door-to-door or depot-to-depot.

Sending a car south from Brisbane to Melbourne is one of the busiest jobs on our board. Vehicles are loaded at our Stapylton depot on the M1 south of Brisbane, then run south with our interstate carriers — most loads take the inland Newell Highway line through Goondiwindi, Dubbo and Shepparton, which keeps transit quicker and more predictable than the coastal crawl.

At the Melbourne end your car is unloaded at our Craigieburn depot just off the Hume Freeway, ready for depot collection — or we can deliver door-to-door across metropolitan Melbourne. It's a popular move for people relocating for work or university, and for Victorian buyers bringing home a car bought in Queensland's used market.
