I found PrixCar (owned by Toll) had the lowest price.
Brisbane to Adelaide $350 last year. But if the vehicle is really special I'd probably look elsewhere, perhaps Ceva or the link above. Sent from my GTi-9305 using bloody Tapatalk

I've used Ceva for my last three cars, from Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour and Sydney all to Perth. Always fully enclosed and never any damage. Tracking is good and pricing has always been very reasonable. I know guys in transport that could have got them back for me, but still always used Ceva so I reckon that's a pretty good recommendation.

I would suggest not using CEVA. The guy who bought my BMW here in Darwin wanted it transported to Perth. Two weeks on it is still sitting here in Darwin. They apparently told him they will get around to transporting it when they do. Considering they get their money up front and it's not refundable that sucks.
Cheers Vincenzo

Only teasing but could that just be because everyone is like that in Darwin? :p

Be carefull using Ceva I was told 1 week delivery, it sat in there depot for 2 weeks before taking another week to get to me. Fully enclosed transport as car is a Tru Blu replica and arrived absolutely filthy and covered in 10mm layer of dust plus looked like several people had sat in the car, floors were dirty. Never again.

I too have used Prixcar and couldn't fault them. They got me to inspect the car to make sure I was happy with it before they would release it.

Just had a Vellfire delivered to Adelaide from Sydney by Prixcar. They were chosen by the dealer so I imagine they must be one of the cheaper options, and van was delivered to my door with no damage and as close to clean as a black car can be.

My new FGX was currently brought over to SA from the factory by Prixcar it was picked up last Friday and only arrived in Adelaide last night??? My dealer was calling them everyday and the best they could say was the truck actually broke down in the holding yard at ford? Sorry I don't buy that for a minute for 5 days? They would have sent another tractor. Just my 2 cents. You guy have quoted awesome prices though I enquires with toll to get my FG F6 to a protential buyer in Brisbane from Adelaide and was quoted $1100 that was 1 month ago???

i,m sure any large car company is going to have haters and unsatisfied customers at some stage. you can't please everyone, or run a company faultlessly.
like said i,ve used ceva many times always there day and time specified. they deliver brand new cars too car yards all day long. same as prix car . i,d use either.

My car took 2 weeks to be delivered from QLD to Adelaide with pixcar. However, it is worth taking into account that the trucks need to fill their trailers to make the trip worth their while. I paid just shy of $900 from door to warehouse pick up.
