What does it cost to ship a car from Adelaide to Perth?
What goes into car transport pricing across the Nullarbor, and how to get an accurate quote fast.
Vehicle transport across the Nullarbor is priced on the lane, the vehicle, and the service level. Because fuel and linehaul cost dominate the rate card on the East-West run, distance matters more here than on the east coast.
What drives the price
The biggest factors are the lane (Adelaide to Perth, or onward to regional WA), the size and number of vehicles, whether it travels enclosed or on a flat deck, and how urgently it needs to arrive. Secure storage at either end can be added if the timing doesn't line up with your collection or delivery.
One operator, both ends
We run our own fleet and own depots at both Wingfield in Adelaide and Kewdale in Perth, so your vehicle stays with one operator door to door, with full value insurance, rather than being handed to a stranger over the Nullarbor.
The fastest way to a realistic figure is to build your own quote: pick the lane, choose vehicle as the freight type, and you'll see an indicative range straight away.
