Default Car transport from Batesman Bay?

Any suggestions how / who I could organise transport for a car out of Batesman Bay to regional Vic? I've looked up the usual suspects and most dont seem to operate out of that area.

Im trying to get a ballpark figure on transport costs before I commit to buying ..

Oh .. Car runs but not driveable from there to here.

You can try looking at companies that are based in Canberra/Queanbeyan area.

could it be driven onto a truck and back off again without scrapping?

how old is it? some companies won't transport cars over a certain age

is it complete or are there loose panels or parts that could blow off or fall off during transportation?

shipping companies will usually refuse cars with extra parts inside them, that includes in the boot

as you can see much more info is needed before real advice can be given

Not looking for the actual quote here. Just looking for companies who might operate out of this area.

Allen's Transport for sure, door to door anywhere? Highly recommend them, take extra special care. Dont see that location being an issue!!

Unfortunately they don't operate out of that area.

Still no response from a couple of others.

Might be worth looking for a Victorian company transporting a car to Sydney who are interested in a backload ?

Thought, why dont you call South Coast Ford Batemans Bay and see who they use. They get deliveries to and from Ford and dealer swap from other dealers all over the country. I'm sure they will ave a contact!

Ask for John Meyer, Service Manager there...
