Reliable, fully insured vehicle transport Sydney to Melbourne — from $550, 3–8 business day transit over roughly 880 km. Door-to-door or depot-to-depot.
Sydney to Melbourne is the definitive Hume Highway run — about 880 km from our Smithfield depot in western Sydney, down through Goulburn, Gundagai and the Albury–Wodonga border crossing, straight into Melbourne's north. It's a corridor our carriers drive constantly, so departures are frequent and transit is reliable.
Cars are unloaded at the Craigieburn depot right beside the Hume Freeway, held securely for pickup, or delivered door-to-door across Melbourne. Popular with relocating professionals and with buyers moving cars between the country's two biggest vehicle markets in either direction.
Pickup — Sydney Smithfield depot: 5 Hume Rd, Smithfield NSW 2164, in Sydney's west near the Cumberland Highway, a short run from the M4.
Delivery — Melbourne Craigieburn depot: 4/54 Potter St, Craigieburn VIC 3064, in Melbourne's north just off the Hume Freeway.
