Hi,

I'm considering a possible one-way driving holiday from Sydney to Exmouth followed by Perth. The plan would be to have the car transported back to Sydney by train or truck. Does anyone know how much something like this would cost and who are the people in the business of doing this? The car is an ordinary stationwagon.

Regards,

Mate,

Just relocated from Perth to Sydney. My GU TD42 was trucked from Perth to Sydney for 900+ bucks via TNT.

just went thru all that stuff after buying a car in Bris and bringing it back to WA. Syd and Bris about the same, $1100-$1200 fully insured. Shop around, Patrick, TNT Tols etc. Train was an interesting one , I didnt do cos it was full but you can only train it to/from sydney if under 1.5meter high. Adelaide-Perth is 1.95 I think. But Adel-Perth was $700 for car or $550 plus $340 for person in a seat but no insurance. That is about the same as trucking Ad-Pth. Takes about 9 days by truck but train you will have it when you get off at the other end.

How about getting it transported from perth to adelaide as a backload price of about $300 it could be more now and then drive it to sydney. The drive from adelaide to sydney is nicer than from perth

I've only got a limited time. Thinking of doing Sydney to Perth to Exmouth, then back to Perth in 4 weeks. I'll then get a flight back to Sydney.
