General Questions

What does WeMove X do?

WeMove X is a professional vehicle logistics company that specialises in transporting cars, caravans, campervans, trailers, trucks, motorbikes, and scooters across Australia. We also offer freight services for boxed goods.

Where do you transport vehicles?

We provide vehicle transport services nationwide, including major cities and regional areas.

Do you offer door-to-door transport?

Yes, we provide door-to-door transport services, subject to accessibility. If the pickup or delivery location is not accessible for large transport carriers, we may use the nearest depot or arrange a ‘call to meet’ option at a safe location near you.

Do you transport damaged, lowered, or modified vehicles?

Yes, we transport damaged, lowered, and modified vehicles. For damaged vehicles, we require photos for assessment. For lowered vehicles (less than 15cm ground clearance, measured from the lowest point), this information must be specified in your quote. We can transport vehicles with ground clearance as low as 8cm.

Do you transport non-running or project vehicles?

Yes, we transport non-running or project vehicles. They must be rollable, have working hand and foot brakes, unlocked and working steering, a driver’s seat, and inflated tyres. Non-running vehicles due to a flat battery are often cheaper to fix before transport. Please inform us of any vehicle issues during the quoting process.

Do you collect from auction houses (e.g., Grays Online, Manheim, Pickles)?

Yes, we collect from all auction houses. For online quotes, the vehicle must be running, roadworthy, undamaged, and less than 30 years old. Otherwise, request a custom quote. Salvage yards are different from auction yards (see FAQ on Salvage Yards).

What should I know before booking transport for a car purchased at auction?

For auction cars, please ensure they start reliably as we do not jump-start vehicles. Check with the auction house about the vehicle’s condition, as we do not survey auction cars for damage. Auction cars are not covered by our warranty.

Do you collect from salvage yards (e.g., Pickles Salvage)?

Yes, but we require photos and a full description of the vehicle’s condition before providing a quote.

Do you transport caravans, campervans, trailers, or trucks?

Yes, we do. We need the overall dimensions (length, width, height, and weight) and value. Photos may also be required. Ensure dimensions include all protrusions (draw bars, hitch, mirrors, etc.). Specify if any items will be inside.

Do you transport motorbikes or scooters?

Yes. Please visit www.bikelogistics.com.au or call 1300 455 464 for information and quotes.

Does my vehicle need to be registered?

No, your vehicle does not need to be registered.

Can I leave my child seats in the car?

Yes, as long as they are fitted and not loose.

Can I have items in my vehicle?

Yes, but there are restrictions. All items must be boxed or in suitcases. Loose items are not allowed. Vehicle paperwork, spare tyre (in housing), jack, and fixed baby seats are considered part of the vehicle. You must specify that you have items in the vehicle when requesting a quote.

Are items in the car covered by the transit warranty?

Items travel at your own risk and are not covered by our transit warranty. We recommend using our freight division for general boxed freight, which is often quicker and cheaper. Email hello@wemovecars.com.au for a freight quote, including box weight, length, width, and height.

What payment methods does WeMove X accept?

WeMove X supports a variety of secure and convenient payment options including Credit or Debit Card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, and WeChat Pay.

Does WeMove X offer installment payment options?

Can I use multiple payment methods for one booking?

Currently, WeMove X only accepts one payment method per transaction. You’ll need to choose your preferred option at checkout.

Can I change my payment method after scheduling a booking?

Once a booking is confirmed, the payment method cannot be changed.

How far in advance do I need to make a booking?

We accept bookings 1–2 business days prior to depot drop-off or up to 4 weeks in advance. Door collections generally take 2–3 business days after confirmation. Rural/freight-dependent areas may take longer.

03

Vehicle Transport Process

How is my car collected and delivered to my door?

Smaller tilt tray trucks are used for door-to-door service. Larger car carriers and rail are used between depots.

How will WeMove X transport my vehicle?

Primarily by road on trucks. Rail or boat transport may be used in some cases (e.g., SA to WA, Melbourne to Tasmania).

How should I prepare my vehicle for transport?

Remove personal belongings (unless agreed upon). The fuel tank is at least ¼ full. Check for leaks and mechanical issues. Disable alarms and provide keys. Fold mirrors and remove loose accessories.

Does someone need to be at the address when a vehicle is being collected or delivered?

Yes, someone must be present to sign the condition report and exchange keys. Futile fees may apply if no one is available.

How much notice do I need to give before dropping my vehicle off at the depot?

At least 1 business day’s notice (after payment). Weekend bookings are processed on Monday.

How much notice do I need to give before my vehicle can be collected from an address?

2–3 business days for metro areas. Rural areas may take longer.

04

Insurance & Warranty

Is my vehicle insured during transit?

Your vehicle is covered by a basic transit warranty for driver negligence during loading/unloading. We are not liable for damage beyond the driver’s control (e.g., stone chips, hail). Contact your insurer for additional coverage. Some services may not include any warranty. Items inside the vehicle are not covered.

Who provides the warranty cover to transport my car?

Our contract carriers provide transit warranty up to $80,000. We are not liable for loss or damage. Contact the carrier directly for their full Terms and Conditions.

Why is it so expensive to have items in the vehicle?

Our large interstate trucks typically do not carry goods in vehicles due to warranty restrictions. Vehicles with goods travel on smaller, specialised carriers with different (and more expensive) warranty coverage. This additional cost is reflected in the price. Our freight division is a cheaper alternative for boxed goods.

05

Depots

Where are your depots located?

We have depots in most major capitals. Depot addresses are emailed after booking confirmation. Contact us for the suburb before booking if needed.

Can I drop my vehicle off at the depot on a weekend?

No, depots are open Monday to Friday only (excluding public holidays).

Can my car stay at the depot for a few days if I cannot collect the car?

You have 3 business days to collect your vehicle. After that, you can nominate someone else or arrange delivery (at an additional cost). Some depots may charge storage fees after 3 days.

06

Support
