Any photographer would do just about anything to get the perfect shot, something that is unique, original and a little bit out there. It’s not uncommon to find the perfect shot out in nature and the great thing about photography is that you are surrounded by endless opportunities to take that perfect shoot. This is where my passion for automotive photography influenced my decision to drive instead of opting for car transport Brisbane to Perth, on one hand I had to get to the largest classic car show in WA – the Shannon’s Classic Car Show and on the other hand in search for a rare automotive photo opportunity.

Being a photographer, it is incredible to be able to travel to different parts of the country, shooting at the many car shows and events that are organized every year.  The reality is that there are car enthusiasts all over Australia that share a common passion and make available their vehicles to be appreciated by the general public at these car shows.  There is an entire network of interstate car transporters behind the scenes that work on transporting cars from one event to the next and then there are those who prefer to drive. Let’s breakdown some options for moving vehicles over such a long distance.

It is Possible to Drive a Car from Brisbane to Perth

Driving a car interstate is possible but there is a lot of road to cover. Travelling from the east coast of Australia to the west coast Australia takes over 5 hours by plane, so you can expect an average travel time of 6 days taking into account meal breaks, time for rest and sleep. Taking a road trip from Brisbane to Perth can be adventurous, having some company will make the long journey more enjoyable however the down side is the wear and tear the car needs to endure along with the time it takes and high costs in fuel.

Find a Vehicle Transport Company

There a plenty of car carrying businesses that will provide you with a free no-obligation car transport quote. Don’t be shy and get as many quotes as you need, it is probably one of the easiest ways to save some money simply by comparing. Most car carrying companies have their own depot or would use others in the same business, transport quotes are calculated based on the distance the car needs to be transported, the type of carrier required (open or enclosed car carrier), the price of fuel at the time whether the service is door to door car transport, depot to deport car transport or depot to door and vice versa. This option should be considered over long distance, the savings made from not having to take time off work and also expensive accommodation is definitely an advantage.

Either way moving a car requires careful planning and consideration.  Both options are certainly feasible and there is no right and wrong way, it all depends on what your plans are and how you want to go about it. For some, it is all about the journey and the adventure of getting there, whilst others may prefer to have it taken care of professionally.
