Car Transport Sydney to Gold Coast

Reliable, fully insured vehicle transport Sydney to Gold Coast — from $484, 3–8 business day transit over roughly 840 km. Door-to-door or depot-to-depot.

Sydney to the Gold Coast runs the M1/Pacific Motorway north — roughly 840 km through Newcastle, Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour to South-East Queensland. Cars load at our Smithfield depot in western Sydney and ride the same frequent carrier schedule as the Sydney–Brisbane lane.

Unloading is at the Stapylton yard just off the M1, 25 minutes from Southport — or we'll deliver door-to-door anywhere from Coolangatta to Coomera. It's the classic sea-change move, and from $484 the transport often costs less than the fuel, tolls and overnight stop of driving it yourself.
