What You Can Expect From Interstate Towing

Our home depot is in Craigieburn, Victoria, and our trucks run to and from Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Newcastle, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Cairns and Townsville. Whether you're relocating up the east coast, crossing the Nullarbor or sending a boat to a new marina, we plan the route and handle the haul.

What You Can Expect From Interstate Towing

Our drivers have completed extensive, hands-on training in long-distance towing, so they have the skills to move your vehicle or vessel safely across state lines. Every driver holds the licences and clearances required, and every job follows Australian towing laws and regulations in each state we pass through.

We service and inspect our trucks and towing equipment regularly, so each trip between cities is smooth and low-risk. Your possessions are fully insured while they’re with us, and our pricing stays competitive without cutting corners on safety. Learn more about our team and how we’ve been doing this since 2011.

Interstate Transport Services That We Provide

From a single car to a full-size motorhome, we move almost anything on wheels or a trailer between Australia’s major cities.

Motorhome Transport

We’ll move your motorhome wherever you need it, whether it’s a permanent relocation or a seasonal trip north. Our interstate motorhome transport covers every major city on our network.

Caravan Transport

Bought a caravan in Melbourne but live in Brisbane? Or want to start your holiday in Perth without towing it there yourself? Our interstate caravan transport delivers it ready for the road.

Boat Transport

We have the insurance, equipment and experience to haul your boat across the country, from trailer boats to larger vessels. Our interstate boat transport gets it to the marina, ramp or storage yard in one piece.

Car and Machinery Transport

We also move cars, small trucks, forklifts and heavy machinery between cities. Buying a car from another state? Read our guide on transporting a car interstate after buying online, or see what businesses should know about moving heavy machinery interstate.

Caravan and Car Show Transport

Manufacturers and dealers attend shows in different cities throughout the year. We have the right size trucks and trailers to get your display vehicles there, and bring them back, in one piece.

How To Prepare For Interstate Caravan Transport

Good preparation makes for a smooth trip. Whether you’re sending a caravan from Sydney to Perth or a boat from Brisbane to Adelaide, a few simple steps before pickup help your vehicle arrive in the same condition it left.

For caravans and RVs, it’s also worth checking the rules for interstate caravan transport in Australia before you book.

Remove Flammable Items

We recommend removing anything that could be flammable as the air pressure tends to change during long trips, as well as plants and foods that you might be storing. Plants and food may go off during far trips.

Our drivers tend to keep everything locked and safe during the trip, and your possessions are under our insurance. We avoid theft as far as possible but recommend removing anything valuable, financially and sentimentally.

Fasten cupboard doors and pack away anything loose inside your vehicle. Roads can get bumpy, and we wouldn’t want to cause breakages during the trip.

Remove all accessories that you have added to the outside of your vehicle. Storing antennas and aerials inside the RV or caravan will avoid the loss or damage of such items.

Common Mistakes People Make With Interstate Towing And Transport

A lot can go wrong when you tow a vehicle hundreds or thousands of kilometres between cities yourself. Most of it is avoidable when you hand the job to a professional transport service.

Since 2011, Interstate Towing AU has built its reputation on getting caravans, motorhomes, boats and cars safely to their destination. We use quality trucks and equipment on every route, and your possessions are fully insured for the whole trip. Contact us today for a quote between any of the cities we service.

Avoid Overloading Risks

Overloading a vehicle will result in blown-out shocks and worn-out tow bars and trailers. We have the right trucks and equipment to tow your vehicles and possessions safely without the damage of overloading.

We ask that you double-check your tire pressure before we arrive–even though we will be doing it too. We have to double-check the pressure to ensure we avoid blown tires on the side of the road. This issue will result in your possession arriving late, and the cost of damage may be high.

When towing, you have to make sure you use the right equipment. We have the complete kit of towing and transporting equipment from massive trucks to small chain links.

Towing rules can differ from state to state, and oversized loads may need permits. Our drivers are trained to keep every trip safe and legal. For larger vessels, see our guide on boat transport permits and wide loads.
