Thanks National Car Movers! Friendly, helpful, and straightforward service. The car even arrived a week early which worked out perfectly. We’ll be in touch again when we’re ready to move another car from Cairns to Sydney. Show details · 1

Untrustworthy Pricing and Poor Customer Integrity, I was baited into the pricing. I DONT RECOMMENED THIS COMPANY THEY ARE DOGGY I recently booked a vehicle transport service with this company and was initially quoted $950 with additional $50 for auctioned car. However, without proper justification or fair process, they later increased the price… Read more
to $1,419.00, claiming the car was “non-running.” and when i tried to pull out of the deal, they threatened to charge me $350 cancelling charge of a product that has been over price and above my budget, I could have comforatble get another cheaper comapny that align with my budget. The most disappointing part? The vehicle was fully running and drivable upon delivery, and I provided proof. Despite this proof, the company refused to refund telling all kind of story to justify their overcharge, showing a complete lack of customer care and professional integrity, focusing only onprofit, disgusting behaviour. This kind of bait-and-switch pricing is unacceptable, and I caution anyone considering this company to be extremely careful. Transparent pricing and ethical treatment of customers should be standard not optional. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable, honest car transport provider.

National Car Movers arranged for the transport of our Holden Trax from Perth WA to Newcastle NSW. Everything went to plan. The ongoing communication from the company and their contractors was exceptional. Very nice to be able to talk to helpful and knowledgeable people. Their quote was reasonable and the car arrived on time with no damage. Show details · 1
Follow-up · Tracking of the car online was easy and accurate. The booking was made by phone. Always great to talk to a helpful, knowledgeable person. I prepared the car. Car was transported with around a quarter of a tank of fuel with loose items within removed.
Thanks for transporting my car from Adelaide to Melbourne.i didn't know that it arrived last Thursday before the long weekend here in Melbourne until I rang Melbourne depot. Mistakes happen it's ok I'm not bothered I picked up my car today October 1 If I need to use national car movers again I will keep it in mind thanks for your service Show details · 1
Follow-up · If I was to buy a car again from interstate I'd still use national car movers customer service was very good
Your service was incredible. Whenever I enquired as to where my vehicle was, a notation indicated that someone would get back to me within four to six hours. Hours, not days, which was excellent. My vehicle arrived in good order and I was pleased with the service. Thank you. Show details · 1
Follow-up · Nothing more to add. Your service was great and at a good price. Thank you again. I don't know how to send photos.

I sent a vehicle from Mackay to Melbourne. The service in Mackay was great. I was met at the gate at the Mackay depot when I dropped the car off. The gentleman that checked the car in was very helpful and answered all my enquiries. The vehicle reached its destination within the timeframe stated without any problems. I could not fault the service. I thought the cost of transport was quite reasonable. Show details · 1

My initial inquiry was online. I rec'd a call within 20mins from a lovely woman by the name of Maree. She explained my options & then sent an email to make the booking. Everything went ahead as requested, I dropped the car to the depot... where, unfortunately due to heavy rain, road closures, the vehicle sat for 3wks. During this time, I made a… Read more · 1
further inquiry as to notifying me once the vehicle was on its way... as I still hadn't heard anything for more than a week, I called again... only to be told that it had just arrived that day, I thanked the woman I spoke to... she informed me that she would send the details to the receiver - which she did.
All in all, we were happy with the service & pricing - we would definitely use them again.
The service was prompt and good value for money. The car arrived in perfect condition. The pick up and delivery locations were very suitable, however they need to consider giving more than 24 hours notice for pick up and delivery as this is not always convenient. Show details · 1

Misleading practices, unsafe storage, and appalling service. I am writing this to warn anyone considering National Car Movers or Car Transport Express. My experience was a series of unprofessional hurdles, deceptive information, and financial exploitation. The "Drop-off" Deception: I was initially given a residential address for drop-off. When I… Read more
sought help, the employee ([Name Removed]) was incredibly rude, spoke over me, and eventually hung up.
Unsafe Locations: After switching to National Car Movers, I was directed to a wrecking yard/car destruction site to leave my vehicle. The site manager claimed he was "afraid of cars" and didn't know how to drive a manual. The lot was a "dust bowl" and completely unsuitable for a prized possession.
False Height Claims: Days later, [Name Removed] (Managing Director) claimed my car was too low to move (below 150mm). This was based on a "visual inspection" by the wrecking yard staff. I offered to have a third party measure it; she refused, stated her "leave was more important" than resolving the issue, and banned me from phone contact.
The Result: I was forced to fly back to Melbourne to rescue my car from an unsafe site. Upon arrival, I measured the car myself: it was well above 150mm.
Financial Hostage: Despite their refusal to move the car based on a lie, they refused a full refund, keeping a $180 "cancellation fee" for a service they failed to provide.
This company is incompetent and deceptive. They will leave your car in a junk yard, lie about its specs to avoid work, and then charge you for the privilege. Save your money and your sanity: go elsewhere.

Really poor experience. Transported my Mustang to Adelaide. Let them know it was lowered 20mm. The front bar was then damaged in transit, and when I raised the damaged claimed it was because the car was lowered and it wasn’t covered. The area damaged on the front bar was above 150mm, which they claimed was below the area that is insured. I had… Read more
to follow them up as it was in transit as there was no communication after 8 days
Would not recommend to anyone. Terrible experience.

Unfortunately my experience with National Car Movers was disappointing. Communication was poor throughout the booking process and I was given misleading information regarding what could be left in the vehicle. The rules around goods in the car were extremely strict and not clearly explained upfront. Due to this, I cancelled the booking and used another transport service instead Show details

If you are seeking good Customer Service then I would not recommend this company. Absolutely NO communication throughout the entire process. Happy to take your money however after that I’m afraid you’re on your own! If you desire to keep track on the progress of your car? ( which they advertise you can) then don’t hold your breath waiting!… Read more

This company in the original quote to move my car said that my car would arrive from Perth between 7-10 November 2025. I booked it in on the 8th October and after 4 emails from them for different delivery dates its now at 1 December (I will believe it when I see it)...some 6 weeks past the original date that they quoted. I firmly believe that it… Read more
was never intended to arrive at what was originally quoted and that it was a hook to suck us in. They quoted a truck breakdown ...however that does not equate to a 6-week delay. I am hiring a car at $64 a day so am out of pocket a considerable amount over this period and they get to hide behind the good ole..." your date of delivery may change and no penalty on us ". Take my advice and stay away from this pack of amateurs and pay the extra for an alternative carrier. I couldn't do the review without selecting 1 star and would have chosen negative values if i could.
Car dropped off at depot with no issues. Communication and updates along the way. Car arrived earlier than expected. No issues. Great service. Would definitely use again. Show details · 1
I booked vehicle transport with National Car Movers in early October 2025. The experience started well, with friendly communication, but things quickly fell apart once delays set in. Despite repeated assurances, my vehicle collection kept being pushed back due to “freight scheduling.” After waiting far longer than expected — with no confirmed… Read more
pickup date — I had no choice but to cancel.
To my surprise, I was charged a 40% cancellation fee even though no transport service was actually carried out. I later learned this was hidden in attached “Terms and Conditions” documents that were never discussed or highlighted during booking.
It’s disappointing to see a company so unwilling to show fairness or accountability for delays that were entirely outside the customer’s control.
I’ve since noticed other reviews describing similar experiences, which makes me think this isn’t an isolated case.

Rang up & received a quote of $553 from Brisbane to Melbourne. Rang back a week later & told them the height of the car was 120mm & the quote increased to $1073. An additional $500 for them having to use ramps!! Greedy people indeed. Show details

Very Professional Service. Car arrived a little earlier than estimated. Good communication. Well co-ordinated amongst multiple carriers. Tracking Service could be automated to enable a more immediate response on actual location of car en route. Thankyou National Car Movers. Show details · 1
