How Much Does Car Transport from Sydney to Perth Cost?

Car transport from Sydney to Perth generally costs $1,554 to $2,750. Interstate car transport averages around 40 to 60 cents per kilometre, and the cost per kilometre usually comes down over longer distances like this one.

Every quote shows several options side by side, so you can compare:

  • Best Price: the most affordable option available.
  • Fastest: the shortest transit time.
  • Pickup or delivery: door service, or drop off and collect at a depot.
  • Goods in Car: take personal items in the car for an extra fee.

What affects the price:

  • Vehicle size and weight. Vans, SUVs and modified cars with bigger tyres or lifted suspension take more space on the carrier.
  • Open or enclosed carrier. Enclosed transport costs more but fully protects the car.
  • Pickup and delivery. Door-to-door costs more than using our depots. Depots can charge storage if you can’t collect your car promptly.
  • Running condition. Non-running cars need special loading equipment.
  • Fuel prices and timing. High fuel prices and urgent delivery both raise the cost.

How Long Does It Take to Transport a Car from Sydney to Perth?

Sydney to Perth is almost 4,000 km by road, one of the longest car transport routes in Australia. Long-distance routes like this usually take 7 to 14 business days.

Transit times are counted in business days, because depots operate Monday to Friday. Door-to-door service can add 1 to 2 days, as pickup and delivery are booked around you. School holidays, the end of the financial year and December to January are the busiest times, so book early if you’re moving then. Your quote email shows the transit time for your exact suburbs.

Road or Rail Transport to Perth

We move cars to Perth by road and by rail. With rail car transport, cars from Sydney travel by road to Adelaide, then by rail to Perth. Your quote shows the options available for your car and dates.

Door-to-Door or Depot-to-Depot: Which Is Right for You?

Door-to-door suits you if you want the least hassle. The carrier collects your car from your Sydney address and delivers it to your Perth address, and the driver calls 30 to 60 minutes before delivery.

Depot-to-depot suits you if you want the lowest price. In Sydney, our depots are in Chatswood, Busby, Greendale and Long Point. Depots are open Monday to Friday, and your quote lists the depots for your suburbs with an estimated Uber fare to reach them.

Open or Enclosed Car Transport?

Open carriers are the most common and most affordable option. They’re what most everyday cars travel on.

Enclosed carriers protect your car from weather and road debris. They’re the better choice for prestige, classic, collector and high-value vehicles.
