Can I get instant quotes?

Truckit has partnerships with some of the largest car carriers in Australia, which means we can offer instant quotes or estimates for certain routes and certain cars. The best way to get these and other quotes from our network is by creating a listing for your car here. This will open up your job to our network of 8,000+ Transport Providers who can quote directly and competitively to you.


What's the difference between Road Transport and a Driven service?

Road Transport is when your car is delivered on a Truck or a trailer i.e. it is never driven except to load and unload. A driven service is when the Transport Provider will drive your car from the Pickup to Delivery address for you. Make sure to check which service each provider is offering in their quote terms.

How can I make sure my car arrives safely?

The best way to ensure your car is in safe hands is to communicate early and often with your Transport Provider. Before accepting a quote, ask questions about their services and request key details such as their licence and registration information.

We also recommend the following:

  • Take clear photographs of your vehicle before and after transport

  • Record the odometer reading prior to pickup

  • Inspect the car upon delivery to identify any potential damage

This documentation provides peace of mind and helps resolve any disputes if issues arise.

Can I transport my car with personal items inside?

This is a common question, and the answer varies between providers. Always confirm with the Transport Provider whether they allow personal items inside the car — both before and after you accept their quote.

If allowed, please note:

  • Items are not covered by insurance

  • They must be safely secured to prevent movement during transit

  • The typical limit is up to 80kg of personal goods

If you received an Instant Quote, there may be an option to include personal items. Look for a blue button labelled ‘Add Goods in Car’ to include this feature at checkout.

What is a Depot-to-Depot quote?

Some quotes include Depot to Depot as the transport option. This means your vehicle will be:

  • Dropped off at a transport depot for pickup, and

  • Delivered to a depot at the destination

Depot-to-depot options are often more cost-effective and offer greater flexibility, allowing you to drop off or collect your vehicle at a time that suits you — without needing to coordinate home pickup or delivery.


Depot to Depot Example: 


If you received an Instant Quote, there may be an option to change the quote from a depot to depot to a door to door service. Look for blue buttons labelled ‘Add Door Pickup’ add 'Add Door Delivery' to include this feature at checkout.

To tell the difference between an Instant Quote and a Manual Quote, simply look at the icons next to the word ‘Active’ on your job listing:

  • A lightning bolt icon indicates an Instant Quote

  • A gavel icon represents a Manual Quote
