Specialised Transport Options

Non-drivable Transport: Adelaide to Sydney

Our specialist carriers use winches, tilt trays, and low loaders to move vehicles that can’t currently drive between Adelaide and Sydney. Whether it’s a project car mid-restoration or a damaged daily driver, we coordinate the right equipment to keep the move safe from pickup to delivery.

Important: Tell us about the vehicle’s condition when you enquire—we’ll double-check access, loading requirements, and timing before locking in the transport.

Prestige & Enclosed Vehicle Transport

For vintage classics, luxury sports cars, or high-value vehicles, our enclosed transport service offers the ultimate protection. Your vehicle is shielded from weather, road debris, and prying eyes in a fully enclosed transporter from depot to depot.

Note: If you select door-to-door service, the local pickup/delivery leg may be performed by a standard tilt tray before/after the enclosed interstate journey.
