Car Transport Melbourne to Sydney

Reliable, fully insured vehicle transport Melbourne to Sydney — from $550, 3–8 business day transit over roughly 880 km. Door-to-door or depot-to-depot.

Northbound Melbourne to Sydney moves on the same Hume Highway freight lane our southbound trucks run — loaded at Craigieburn in Melbourne's north, over the border at Albury–Wodonga, through Gundagai and Goulburn, and into our Smithfield depot in western Sydney. Around 880 km, with departures most days of the working week.

It's a favourite for Melburnians relocating north and for NSW buyers shipping home a car bought in Victoria. At Smithfield your car waits securely for depot pickup, or we finish the job door-to-door anywhere in greater Sydney.
