Hey guys,

I'm just wondering what it would cost to get a car (Mini of course!) from melbourne to toowoomba (QLD, 4350). Does anyone know of any good companies they would trust? As I do not know anyone in melbourne, does anyone know the price that they were charged if they moved a car interstate at all, just a bit of a rough idea (if you don't mind sharing)?

Thanks as I didn't have much luck with searching.

Thanks for that Doogie. I just want to know how much to factor in for transport to know whether its a viable option or not.

Cheers

My mother was living in Toowoomba and her time to live alone came to an end. We brought her car half way (to Dubbo) for four hundred dollars with a Toowoomba based trucking company. Its been a couple of years so I forget the trucking company name but it was near the airport in that industrial area.

Let the fingers do the walking. As a rule - the trucking companies want a car that starts and runs. The last thing you need is a company that loads a non runner with a forklift.

you used to be able to get a back load from sydney to brisbane for around $600, that was for a complete semi. I would say it cost a little bit more than that now.

Try contacting a car carrier.

Try www.movingcars.com.au you can request a quote. I used them to transport a mini from Adelaide to Warrnambool (VIC), via Melbourne - bit oover $400 from memory. Good service.
