Default Interstate car transport Melb - Perth

G'day,

Im after a good company that could transport a Suzuki Swift from Melb to perth, the current quotes I have got are about $1200 - does this seem high?

Any recomendations?

Cheers
Luke

I recently used Prixcar and was happy with their service and price. Maybe try them. They also have online quoting.

Did you get a rail quote or is that something nobody does?

I used Prixcar to transport 2 of my cars late last year Perth to Melbourne. I definitely am not going with them when i move back, snapped my handbrake lever and refused to pay for it. The manager in melbourne was an absolute cow to deal with even though i was polite to her.

Over $110 they've lost at least $2,500 of my business next year, their loss!

I used CEVA - from Geraldton WA to Melbourne $980 fully enclosed.

Damn good service, condition reports at every interval and not a mark on the car (T3 dont exactly have great ground clearance for ramps etc).
Was also quick with a 4 day turnaround.

Oh and as for the Suzuki Swift, Aust. Post can do overnight Express on parcels less than 20kg.

Do you mind me asking when you used CEVA? I'm looking to go the opposite way with my XW and that sounds like the sort of service and price i'm after!

It's always more expensive transporting cars to WA, so don't compare prices for transport east from WA.
