Vehicle Transport for Interstate and International Moves
If your move includes a car, motorcycle or other vehicle, Palmers can include the transport in your overall relocation plan. We provide vehicle transport across Australia and can also arrange international vehicle shipping when you are moving overseas.
The right transport option depends on the vehicle, route, timing and destination requirements. We’ll assess those details alongside the rest of your move so the vehicle transport fits into the wider relocation rather than becoming another job for you to organise separately.

- Coordinated With Your Household Move
What Vehicles Can We Transport?
Palmers can organise transport for a range of vehicle types as part of an interstate or international move. The transport method and requirements will depend on the vehicle, route and destination.
Cars, SUVs & 4WDs
From everyday passenger cars to SUVs and 4WDs, vehicle transport can be included alongside your household move within Australia or overseas.
Motorcycles
Motorcycle transport can be arranged as part of your relocation, with the transport requirements assessed according to the bike, route and destination.
Utes, Vans & Commercial Vehicles
Utes, vans and selected commercial vehicles can also be transported. Larger vehicles may require additional information before we quote.
Classic, Prestige & Specialist Vehicles
Classic, prestige and other specialist vehicles may require a different transport method or additional handling depending on the vehicle and the move.
Have something different to move? Tell us the vehicle type, dimensions and destination, and we can confirm the available transport options.
Interstate Vehicle Transport
Moving a car interstate can be included as part of your household relocation with Palmers. We can arrange vehicle transport between major Australian cities and regional destinations, with the service planned around your move where possible.
The transport option will depend on the vehicle, collection and delivery locations, timing and route. For some moves, the vehicle can be coordinated alongside the household relocation so you are not managing two separate bookings, schedules and delivery arrangements.
Common interstate routes include Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra and other destinations across Australia.
International Vehicle Shipping
Moving overseas with a car or motorcycle requires more planning than a domestic vehicle move. Palmers can include international vehicle shipping as part of your relocation and help coordinate the transport, documentation and destination requirements involved.
Import rules, customs requirements and biosecurity conditions vary by country, so the available options will depend on where the vehicle is going, its age and type, and the requirements at destination. We’ll confirm what applies to your move before the vehicle is shipped.
International vehicle shipping can be coordinated alongside your household goods so the vehicle forms part of the wider relocation plan.
How Vehicle Transport Works
Vehicle transport is planned around the type of vehicle, route, timing and destination requirements. We’ll confirm the details with you before the move so the right transport option is arranged from collection through to delivery.
1. Tell Us About the Vehicle
We’ll need the vehicle type, make and model, collection and delivery locations, preferred timing and any special requirements.
2. We Confirm the Transport Option
We assess the route and vehicle requirements, then confirm the suitable transport method, timing and cost.
3. Vehicle Drop-Off & Transport
For most car moves, the vehicle is dropped off at the agreed depot before transport. We’ll confirm the drop-off arrangements, timing and any required documentation with you beforehand.
4. Collection or Delivery at Destination
Once the vehicle reaches the destination depot, collection or delivery is arranged according to the service booked and destination requirements.
International vehicle moves may also require customs, import approval or biosecurity documentation depending on the destination.
How Much Does Vehicle Transport Cost?
There isn’t a single price for vehicle transport. The cost depends on the route, vehicle type and size, transport method, timing and whether the service is within Australia or international.
For interstate moves, depot locations and any collection or delivery requirements can also affect the price. International vehicle shipping may involve additional costs for freight, documentation, customs, biosecurity or destination handling.
If your vehicle is being moved with your household goods, we can include the vehicle transport in your overall relocation quote.
Moving Your Vehicle With Your Household Goods
If your vehicle is moving as part of a household relocation, Palmers can coordinate both services together. This helps keep the vehicle transport aligned with your move dates, delivery plans and any storage requirements.
One Relocation Plan
Your household goods and vehicle transport can be planned together rather than managed as separate bookings.
Coordinated Timing
We can help align vehicle transport with your collection and delivery schedule where possible.
Storage if Needed
If your new home is not ready, storage options can be considered as part of the wider move plan.
One Point of Contact
You can discuss the vehicle and household move with Palmers as part of the same relocation.
