I used Ceva logistics a few years ago from Vic to regional SA, they seemed to do a good job at a reasonable price.

I used Ceva to ship a 2014 Falcon Ute from Perth to Sydney.
No problems, would use them again.

My father has used them from QLD to Melb with no issues. I quoted them from Perth to Melb last week at $1400.

PrixCar (Used them twice Melb>Perth and Perth>Melb) and they quoted $890 with goods in the car ($830 without) and that was door to door service.

If its a unique and rare care or the love of your life and enclosed transportation is required. Would recommend Alans, the amount of care these guys provide is exceptional! Only people I would trust and its door to door, not depot to depot and a million stops in between.

Yes, Alan's service is exceptional but very limited in where he is travelling. Great service if your willing to wait.

That's got expensive. Got my car about 3 years ago and it was only about $680 I think. More than doubled in 3 years?

I’d expect that. Door to door with Matt W last year cost me $850+tax, Melbourne to Sydney.

With PrixCar:
From memory it was $1200 Melb>Perth and that was 12yrs ago. (Depot to door)
Perth>Melb was around the $900 10yrs ago. (Door to depot).

Now Im getting door to door for $890. Who knows...

I can understand an increase on some parts with the fuel costs at present. But Ceva were just crazy with their price.
