What a horrible place, would not get them to move a thing. Can't even treat your worker right. Have not got a good thing to say about this place
I ordered a car from a dealer in Queensland to be delivered to New South Wales, the dealer booked the job with Carways (their usual delivery company) I saw a few reviews here and got a little concerned however I had the car picked up at noon on the Friday and it was ready for collection on the Monday. Admittedly when I phoned after the initial… Read more
pick up the service agent advised that the car may be around 8 to 9 days of transit, however for reasons unknown to me the car was delivered from Queensland to New South Wales over a period of two days!
The car was kept undercover in the Smithfield depot and pick up process took about 10 minutes. I might’ve got lucky with the delivery timings however based on that I cannot fault their service and in fact it was over the moon when I found out the car was already sitting in the depot.
Thank you guys my Subaru forester was delivered earlier than expected with no damages very professional staff i am very pleased and satisfied with with your service Thank you Jason truck driver who delivered my car to my house in Collarenebri nsw keep up the good work guys i can highly recommend CARWAYS .
Do not trust this freight company. I had my vehicle delivered directly from the dealership. Upon delivery we hadn’t seen a scratch and one minute after the driver left I called to let them know. They told me they would get back to me by the next morning earliest however I had to call them at the end of the day for them to tell me the claim was… Read more
rejected. They’re level of customer service is highly lacking as they did not bother to provide any level of urgency to the situation, neither did they consider the circumstance.
Amazing – I'm in awe of this fabulous company from Illy and Rachel in the office who were so happy, friendly, helpful and professional to semi driver Peter who delivered my new car safely and with precision, thank you all for bring so easy and just really nice people with beautiful attitudes, I recommend your company for the expert professional service I hoped for, congratulations on being 10 out of 10
Quick and easy! – Transported a vehicle from Canberra to Wagga and no issues at all! Darren was super helpful, would recommend!
Car arrived in perfect condition – Bought a Chrysler 300 from Sydney, the dealer shipped it to me using carways, the car arrived to Melbourne in perfect condition. Carways even provided me with a report which contained images of the car’s condition in Sydney when they picked it up and also images of the car condition in Melbourne. Thanks Carways
Car arrived in terrible condition and no responsibility accepted by Carways – My BMW was transported from Adelaide to Brisbane, door to door service. Car left clean and with full fuel. Car arrived in following condition: Tow bar receiver blanking cap removed and in passenger footwell (meaning car was used to tow and I did not have any towables moved by Carways), Excessive fuel used (than what would be expected to load and… Read more
unload vehicle a few times, Excessively dirty, Frog living on it and All stereo settings adjusted (indicative of someone spending more time in the vehicle than for the purpose of loading/unloading). When I asked Carways to explain the condition and removal of tow receiver blank, the response was "car will get dirty during travel" and "can't explain". No responsibility or further action was taken by the company. I used an alternate company to relocate 2 vehicles and towable item, and these arrived clean, minimal additional K's on odometer and minimal fuel usage. A starc comparison to Carways. Do not use this company to transport your valuable assets.

Never Use This Company – I had my car shipped from Sydney to Perth. It had 1 very minor ding in it when I sent it. When I received there was various chip marks and drag marks into my boot from the items they stored in my car! My seats had been folded down with a button missing, scratch marks on all internal plastic trim. I found a bag that I did not own in my car and a… Read more
tie down strap was left that they used to tie down the foreign items within my car. $15,000 worth of damage and no explanation as to how the items came to be in my car nor the excessive damage. Management was rude and dismissive that "the wear and year was consistent with a car of that many kms" - 60 000km. That is not am excuse. The car did not have those marks until I left it in carways "care". Digusting abuse of trust and incredibly poor customer service and negligent service.
Do not use these guys! – Carways damaged my car in transit, and despite photos and condition report from collection indicating no damage at the time of pick up, and photos and condition report from drop off highlighting damage (including the driver upon drop off agreeing that the damage was present and inconsistent with the condition report taken at collection), the… Read more
company refused to take any responsibility.
Staff were rude and condescending in the process, not at all responsive to my phone calls and emails, and had every poor gaslighting excuse under the sun as to why I must be mistaken. I’ve never had such poor service from a company before!
Very disappointed, and definitely won’t be using nor recommending to anyone who wants their car safely transported from one location to another.
Carways - Poor service - abrasive to deal with – Toll shipped my Golf Cart with Carways as the carrier. The cart arrived in a filthy condition, with a missing windscreen, a broken shock and the oil was full of fuel (indicative of a rough ride or the cart being on an obscure angle...) The company remain argumentative in taking any responsibility for the damage caused. I will not use Carways again.
Don't trust them – I shipped my car with mcPhee freight who used Carways as the carrier. The car arrived with internal parts stolen. No one would take responsibility for the damage caused. I would not use McPhee or Carways again.
All went well and I'd recommend Carways – After reading various horror stories online of car transport companies, I nearly decided to drive from QLD to ACT myself but discovered Carways at the last minute. Their website states that they use their own trucks for shipping and are not brokers. I'll have to say that all went well and as expected. I appreciated how all the staff, from… Read more
reception, pickup in QLD to drop-off in the ACT were friendly, courteous and very professional. The car was delivered in a reasonable time and arrived in it's original condition. I'd definitely suggest you give Carways a go.

Absolute waste of time – Did not ask any questions on objective of job, Turned up at wrong time and did not want to help because of miscommunication on their part, should have been asked more questions on booking. I am the client, then refused to do job after driver drove away with no communication to me and me having to ring them. Then wanting to charge for their… Read more
mistake. The staff I spoke to were not helpful one bit and not knowledgeable regarding the business there in.
Great service car shipped up to Brisbane from Melbourne. I would recommend carways – Great service easy to use. They picked up our car and delivered it in a very timely manner. Even through the restrictions in Melbourne. I would recommend using carway again
$100k car, damaged. Told 'good by' (yes, he misspelled it) by representative – When the car arrived it was covered in red mud and dust which was so thick you couldn't see that the car had taken a couple of scratches and knocks in transit which were revealed later once it was cleaned. I contacted Carways immediately after cleaning it and told them of the damage that was not listed on the condition report, [Name Removed] told… Read more
me to get a quote for repairs and forward it to him. He told me, unconditionally, they would pay for half the repairs. I got a quote for repairs and asked [Name Removed] for an email address to send it to at which point he said he wouldn't cover the damage because I told him the car was new. No, I didn't and I had the conversation recorded for just that reason. Then he said dust damage wasn't covered. This wasn't done by dust. Gouges in the paint down to undercoat are not caused by dust. He then said he had a signed condition report by me. I then asked for the contact for his legal department and he told me 'good by'. The customer support guy RAN AWAY. Professional and definitely willing to back up their services...by running away.
All I can say is if you want to use these guys you make the driver wait while the car is cleaned (if it turns up like mine did, looking as if it had driven through the Simpson desert. The seals are still brown from the dirt.) so you can make sure there isn't any damage or tell them you won't accept the car in a filthy state where you can't discern that damage has been done otherwise they'll just say 'you signed the form, good by!'.
There is such significant damage that I will be giving this to my lawyer and requesting that the entirety of the damage be covered by Carways. I would avoid this mob. Took the sheen, literally, off buying my dream car.
all went well – needed a car picked up from dural near sydney to gold coast, phoned carways and they gave me an instant quote door to door that was a reasonable price, took 7 days but thats ok, seem to be a good company and will use them again.
Highly recommend Carways Pty Ltd – Carways were recommended to us from BMW who advised that they exclusively use them and have never had a problem with them. We had a dreadful experience with another carrier and were apprehensive at first but BMW assured us that we would be happy. Carways were everything that BMW said, they were professional, efficient, reasonably priced and took… Read more
great pride in the pick up and delivery of the vehicle. I dealt with their Brisbane, Lismore and Melbourne offices for shipment of my car down to Melbourne and return back to Brisbane. Highly recommend them. 5 stars!
