Moving a car that doesn’t need to be driven

Not every tow is an emergency. Plenty of vehicles simply need to get from A to B without the kilometres, registration or risk of driving them: an unregistered project car, a purchase from across town, a car heading to a detailer, or a vehicle that’s been sold online.

Use the booking form to choose a date and time window, add pickup and drop-off notes (opening hours, contact people, gate codes), and we’ll confirm everything with you before the day. Workshops, dealers and regular customers can also open a business account.

Been in a crash? If your vehicle is at an accident scene in the Melbourne controlled area, the tow is arranged through Victoria's official accident allocation system — not booked directly with a trade towing company. Once your vehicle has been cleared from the scene (for example to a holding yard, repairer or your home), we can help move it from there. How accident towing works in Victoria.

Questions

Car Transport FAQs

How far in advance should I book?

For planned moves, a few days’ notice gives you the best choice of times, but get in touch whenever you need it and we’ll do our best.

Can you transport an unregistered car?

Yes. Because it travels on the tray, the vehicle itself isn’t driven on the road.

Do you do long-distance transport?

Yes, by arrangement. Our main service area is metropolitan Melbourne; trips outside Melbourne are quoted individually based on the route, vehicle and timing.
