It's costing me $810 to get my van from Adelaide to Newcastle using CEVA. That was the most competitive quote I could find.

Mine cost me $1500 door to door, Lilydale to Brisbane and that was fully enclosed. I also loaded and unloaded it myself so you dont have a stranger messing with your car.

I recently had to get a Territory shipped from Geelong to Armidale .. the two cheapest quotes were a company that i cant remember the name .. i think it was called Melbourne Sydney Brisbane... and it was about $850 and I ended up going with Tamworth Car Carrying which was worth about $890 but they picked it up and dropped it at the door. Also know that Intercity Carriers in Tamworth always do a good price. Hope this helps
