Not many that I know of. I know some general carriers who top load cars.
But thats not for everyone! Best to try a national carrier like Toll or TNT, and hope they'll stop on their way through. Or talk to a local car dealer, and find out who they use. They might cut you a deal too.

Ok so who gave this thread 5 star rating.........
(sorry to be off topic) I've used TNT before and they were good. Not sensational - but car wasnt damaged. Covered carriage which you are after. |

I used some company in QLD to get it from there to south coast nsw, $700, did a good job, i think it was called Car Carriers, pretty average name.

No worries thanks, I don't mind paying a bit more for good service, my little brothers XB Hardtop arrived here on TNT in top condition, albeit for a leaking transmission. No real concern for us but for the poor bastard below us with 1/2 litre of tranny fluid on his bonnet it may have been a problem.
