Vehicle transport vs towing
Not every vehicle move starts with a breakdown.
Choose vehicle transport for a planned move with a known pickup, destination and timing. If the vehicle has broken down and cannot continue safely, breakdown towing is the better option.
Vehicle transport
Planned & scheduled
Relocations, purchases, dealer transfers, workshop transfers and other non-urgent vehicle moves.
Breakdown towing
Vehicle cannot continue
For mechanical or roadworthy problems where the vehicle needs towing because it cannot safely keep driving.
Common transport jobs
Car transport Brisbane for planned vehicle moves.
Car transport in Brisbane is commonly booked for dealership transfers, workshop moves, purchases, relocations and other planned vehicle movements—not only breakdowns. Running and non-running vehicles can both be assessed when the condition and loading requirements are provided before booking.
Vehicle moves Brisbane customers book in advance.
These jobs are usually booked in advance and are easier to organise when both locations and timing are known.
Workshop transfers
Move a vehicle between home, mechanics, specialists, panel or service workshops without driving it.
Dealer & business moves
Scheduled transfers between dealers, workshops, storage locations and business premises.
Home relocation
Move a vehicle between homes or suburbs when driving it is inconvenient, unsuitable or not preferred.
Storage moves
Transport vehicles to or from storage, garages or secure holding locations where access suits the truck.
Unregistered / non-driving moves
Suitable vehicles can be assessed where they should not be driven on the road but can be loaded safely.
Before booking
Six details make scheduled transport straightforward.
Because this is planned transport, the best quote starts with accurate pickup, destination, vehicle and timing information.
1Vehicle make & modelTell us exactly what is being transported and whether it is modified or unusually large.
2Pickup & destinationFull locations help confirm the route, distance and access at both ends.
3Vehicle conditionDoes it start, drive, roll, steer and brake normally? Any locked wheels or suspension issues?
4Clearance & accessLow cars, narrow driveways, steep slopes or restricted loading areas should be declared first.
5Preferred date / windowTell us when the vehicle can be collected and when the destination can receive it.
6Contact at both endsFor purchases and business transfers, provide the pickup contact and delivery contact where needed.
Vehicle condition
Running and non-running vehicles can require different planning.
Tell us the real condition of the car before the truck is assigned. A vehicle that rolls and steers normally is a different transport job from one with locked wheels, damaged suspension or extremely low clearance.
Running vehiclesSuitable cars that drive and roll normally are generally straightforward to assess for scheduled transport.
Non-running vehiclesTell us whether the wheels roll, steering works and brakes release so loading can be checked first.
Low or prestige vehiclesCars needing specialist loading-angle planning should use the dedicated prestige and lowered car service.

Vehicle transport FAQ
Common questions about planned car transport in Brisbane.
What is the difference between car towing and vehicle transport?
Car towing commonly covers immediate local towing and non-drivable vehicles. Vehicle transport is aimed at planned, scheduled moves such as workshop transfers, private-purchase pickups, relocations and dealer or business transfers.
Can you transport a car that still drives?
Yes. A vehicle does not need to be broken down to use scheduled transport. Suitable running vehicles can be transported when you prefer not to drive them to the destination.
Can you transport a non-running vehicle as a scheduled job?
Suitable non-running vehicles can be assessed. Tell us whether the vehicle rolls, steers and brakes normally and whether there are locked wheels, low clearance or difficult access.
What details do you need for a vehicle transport quote?
Provide the pickup and destination, vehicle make and model, whether it runs and rolls normally, any low-clearance or access issues, and your preferred date or time window.
Do you provide prestige or lowered vehicle transport?
Suitable prestige and lowered vehicles can be assessed, but cars that need specialist loading-angle planning should use the dedicated prestige and lowered car towing service.
Can a business book regular vehicle transfers?
Yes. Suitable scheduled vehicle moves can be quoted for workshops, dealers and businesses. For repeat fleet, dealer or workshop arrangements, see our business towing options page.
