Car Transport Sydney to Brisbane

Reliable, fully insured vehicle transport Sydney to Brisbane — from $484, 3–8 business day transit over roughly 920 km. Door-to-door or depot-to-depot.

Shipping a car from Sydney up to Brisbane is a short, high-frequency interstate hop — around 920 km up the M1/Pacific Motorway through Newcastle, Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour. Cars are loaded at our Smithfield depot in western Sydney, with departures most weekdays.

It's the standard route for Sydneysiders relocating to South-East Queensland and for Queensland buyers who've picked up a car in Sydney's big dealer market. Arrival is at our Stapylton yard on the M1 — convenient whether you're settling in Brisbane's southside, Logan or the northern Gold Coast — with door-to-door delivery available across the metro area.
