Moving a car north from Melbourne to Brisbane? You're in good company — this is the classic sun-chaser's route, busy year-round with families relocating to South-East Queensland and interstate buyers shipping home cars from Melbourne's large used-vehicle market. Your car is loaded at our Craigieburn depot in Melbourne's north, straight off the Hume Freeway.

Carriers run the corridor via the Hume and inland Newell Highway northbound, and your vehicle arrives at our Stapylton depot on the M1 south of Brisbane — an easy pickup point for both Brisbane and Gold Coast residents, or we'll bring it to your door anywhere in the metro area.
