Car transport help! Syd -> Melb

[SS8_Gohan]

Hey guys,

I need to organise some transport for my un-registable car from a workshop in Seven Hills, to Melbourne. Does anyone know of any good companies,? time frames?, costs?, etc. I'd like to have it down here in Melbourne sometime during this week.

Had a friend hook me up with a trade plate, but the idea was vitto'ed by the parents So yeah, need some truck transport please.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

cheers,

chinny.

try a search in yellow pages under car carriers

if my memory serves me correctly, i had my car trucked from melb to syd with TNT - http://www.tnt.com/country/en_au.html - for about $300 (i think!).. but it was the best price i found!!! i was happy with them! they did an inspection before leaving, and upon arrival to make sure it arrived in the same condition so that made me feel more comfy using them....

i'd like to use companies ppl have used personally themselves, rather than picking a rando out of the yellow pages. but it may come to that.

i rang a place called CarMove(r's?) $440, insurance for fire/theft/collision. But NOT for anything in the car. Ie my Advan Rims (advan tyres) turbo timer, exhaust parts, head unit... etc. So that really sucks... if trucking ppl are as bad as wharfies.

I called TNT just then Moanie, but their car section is closed till Monday.

hmmm... i can't remember if TNT said anything about insurance for the goods in the car... but they did do a full inspection, so i suppose it does cover it?!?!?! sorry!!! my memory is shocking and this all happened about 2 years ago!!!
