Guide to Transporting Multiple Vehicles Interstate in Australia

Note: This is a general approach and each carrier and service company handle things differently. 

Key Takeaways

• Proper vehicle prep, clear documentation, and tailored quotes ensure a stress-free multi-car move.

• Transporting multiple vehicles requires careful coordination, carrier reliability, and compliance with Australian state laws.

• National Car Movers offers licensed, insured transport with flexible options and expert support.

Moving more than one vehicle across states might seem like a logistical challenge, but with the right transport partner, it can be straightforward and cost-effective. Whether you’re a family relocating with two cars, a dealership shifting stock, or a business transferring fleet vehicles, National Car Movers can help get your vehicles from A to B safely and efficiently in line with Australian laws and road transport regulations.

Why Transport Multiple Vehicles Interstate?

There are plenty of reasons why moving several vehicles across state lines is the smart choice. Families relocating interstate often have more than one car that needs to make the journey. Dealerships and auction houses regularly move vehicles in bulk between cities or states. Large-scale fleet logistics, including company cars, government contracts, or work vehicles also demand coordinated multi-vehicle transport. For classic car collectors, safe and secure interstate delivery to events, new homes, or storage facilities is a must. The same applies for those transporting combinations of trailers, utes, and motorbikes during a major move.

Whatever the purpose, National Car Movers connects you with experienced, insured transport providers who follow all relevant state and territory regulations. This ensures your vehicles are moved legally, efficiently, and with the utmost care.

How the Process Works

With our experience and network of over 30 vetted carriers, the process of multi-vehicle transport is simple:

1. Request a Multi-Car Transport Quote

Start by telling us how many vehicles you need to move, the type of vehicles (car, SUV, 4WD, trailer, etc.), and the pickup and drop-off locations. We’ll match you with transport providers that suit your timeframe and preferences. To make the process quick and easy, you can get a quote online and compare your options instantly.

2. Choose the Right Transport Type

We offer door-to-door or depot-to-depot options. Many customers opt for depot services to save costs, while door-to-door is ideal for added convenience especially if access to depots is limited. For prestige or classic vehicles, enclosed vehicle transport can be arranged.

3. Vehicle Pickup and Loading

Our carrier will arrange a collection of your vehicles and carefully load them onto a suitable car carrier, often a multi-deck open trailer. Each vehicle will be transported in compliance with Australian safety standards.

4. Tracking and Delivery

We’ll keep you updated throughout the journey. On arrival at the destination, vehicles can be collected from the depot or delivered to your door, depending on your selected service. We’ll also work with you to ensure a smooth handover.

Why Use a Professional Vehicle Transport Service?

Moving multiple vehicles on your own isn’t just physically draining, it can also be expensive, time-consuming, and potentially risky. Long hauls across Australia’s vast outback or navigating congested metro corridors demand expertise, proper logistics planning, and compliance with strict transport regulations.

By partnering with a professional provider like National Car Movers, you benefit from access to bulk shipping discounts, a single point of contact managing the entire process, and a network of fully insured, licensed carriers. Our team ensures you peace of mind that everything’s handled to spec. Most importantly, you save valuable time and prevent unnecessary wear and tear on your vehicles. Whether you’re relocating vehicles from Melbourne to Brisbane, Sydney to Perth, or Darwin to Adelaide, we’ll handle it efficiently and professionally so you don’t have to.

Cost Factors for Multi-Vehicle Transport

The overall cost of transporting multiple vehicles interstate can vary based on several key factors. These include the number and type of vehicles being moved, the distance between the pickup and delivery locations, and whether you opt for open or enclosed transport methods. Additionally, your choice between door-to-door and depot-to-depot service will influence the final pricing. At National Car Movers, we always encourage customers to request a customised quote tailored to their specific needs. This ensures full transparency with no hidden fees or last-minute surprises.

Key Tips for a Smooth Multi-Car Move

To ensure a hassle-free multi-car relocation, it’s important to prepare each vehicle properly. Start by giving each car a thorough clean, this helps with the condition inspection prior to loading. Remove all personal items, as they’re not covered under standard vehicle freight insurance. Make sure each vehicle is roadworthy unless special arrangements have been made.  Clearly label each set of keys and secure any loose accessories to prevent damage in transit. If you can’t be present for delivery, nominate someone you trust to receive the vehicles on your behalf.
