Car Transport
Car Transportation
Cost: Between $350.00 to 1,250.00
Although some may select to drive their car interstate when moving home, others prefer to fly and have the car transported by a reputable car carrier which Transcorp organizes. The prices vary quite a bit based on 1) Depot to Depot or Door to Door 2) Remote Locations 3) Size and make of vehicle. As part of our home removal service we offer this service. Visit Transcorp Car Moving for more information of call 1300 466 838 and chat to our friendly and qualified representative.
Removal Insurance
Cost: Between $250 – $1,000
Regardless how careful the removalists are, there are circumstances where insurance is a wise option to consider. There are situations where it may be not the fault of the removal team and taking out insurance offers a ‘replacement value’ rather than without insurance which may be on ‘market value’ or ‘depreciated cost’ depending on age of the item. It is wise to only insure through an AFRA accredited removal member as they can on sell the policy due to adhering to strict guidelines. Refer to Transcorp Insuarnce for more information

FAQs for Interstate Removalists
What is backloading, and how does it work?
Backloading involves sharing truck space with other customers moving in the same direction. It’s a cost-effective solution that ensures you only pay for the space your items occupy.
Is backloading safe for fragile items?
Yes! Our professional removalists ensure all items are securely packed and handled with care during transit.
How much can I save with backloading?
Customers typically save between 20-30% compared to traditional removalist services.
What’s the cheapest way to move interstate?
Combining a backloading removal option with self-packing and decluttering is often the most affordable approach. A move can aid in optimising your life, as it enables you to get rid of stuff you no longer need nor use. It is the ideal time to do a “spring clean”, when you combine this with our backloading option you can significantly reduce your move cost, in some cases this can be thousands. Check our backloading page for more information.
Great experience right from the start through to the finish with our interstate move… Lynne and her staff were both caring and professional and would highly recommended transcorp if you truely care about your possessions… Great pricing and efficient service ….
The move went smoothly with Transcorp they moved me from Brisbane to Melbourne .very happy with them from start to finish Would recommend them for all moves irene johnsen
This is my second time using Transcorp. Cannot fault them. Lilly hands down greatest team member in the business. Knows how to make the process enjoying and easy, along with good laughs along the way..A++ would definitely be using them for all moving.
Just wanted to say tx Lynne, job done. From your very first contact to the boys delivering its been a seamless experience. Sam is a total legend. Engaging and calm under pressure and very good on the tools too. Can't imagine a better operator to be honest. Caleb is a great bloke too, great team. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
We had a fantastic experience with Transcorp Removalists. They were on time, professional, and communicated clearly from start to finish. The team handled everything with care, worked efficiently, and made the whole process feel stress-free.
Pricing was very fair and transparent, with no surprises, and the service exceeded our expectations. We really appreciated how organised and respectful the team was throughout the move.
Highly recommend Transcorp Removalists and would absolutely use them again.
Very professional and so easy to communicate with. I never at any stage felt anxious about my decision to have transport removals & storage handle my things. Super efficient and I recommend them to anyone, as I would use them in future myself if need be. Hats off to the staff.
I lived in a very remote part of the NT and was moving halfway across the country to interstate. These guys were able to put a move together for me in under a week. That was despite very short notice (as I cancelled my original removalist, who would have taken about 2 months to get to me), wet weather and my local barge service having mechanical issues.
Very happy I went with Transcorp and will definitely be using them again if I need to move in the future. Strongly recommend them to anyone.
I have had an amazing experience with Transcorp. Predominantly my point of contact for my entire process has been with Monika Sobkowicz. She is the most patient, friendly and professional person I have dealt with in a very long time. Monika has bent over backwards to assist me with 2 removals from 2 different states at the same time. I have had to change dates several times due to work circumstances, and every time Monika has come to the party with grace and efficiency. Monika also worked very hard to get me the best price possible. Thankyou 🙏. I would highly recommend this company and Monika to anyone wanting a seam free experience. In today’s world it’s very rare to find people who actually care about their customers. Thankyou once again for helping me in a very difficult situation and relieving a lot of stress.
My wife, Michèle, had spoken with several companies before, luckily, getting on to Transcorp. Quite a few: "it's December so we'll charge you double" (on already high rates). Spoke with Lilly who couldn't have been nicer nor more helpful. On the day, Sonny and his 2 mates were great: right on time; friendly and efficient. Couldn't recommend Transcorp more highly.
The duo of Adam and Sal did an excellent task of navigating a complex apartment layout and delivering an efficient and professional service with cheerful banter along the way. Thanks to the team for the great service!
Had Transcorp handle my move and they were awesome. Super easy to communicate with, everything was packed and secured really well, and the team was just a bunch of hardworking, friendly people. Made the whole move way less stressful! Shout out to Ricky and the whole team
Difficult mid city local as well as interstate backload move. Wonderful communication throughout. Contacted at every stage including storage at their facility whilst awaiting interstate move. Professional, hard working, friendly. Thank you Transcorp workers. Julie Coffey
I moved from the Gold Coast to Melbourne with Transcorp. Moving is traumatic, especially interstate transfers. Stan and Liliana were just amazing. Lots of patience and great advice. I got a great deal on the transfer of my car as well. Highly recommend them.
We had a leather couch delivered by their team, and initially, we had some trouble getting it to fit. However, Shadi and the Transcorp team were very prompt and managed to make it work the following and within a few minutes everything was installed. Thank you! We’ll definitely be recommending them to our friends in the area.
We had a smooth moving experience with Transcorp. The staff was very accommodating and patient when I requested for multiple quotes to figure out the logistics. The pickup and delivery guys were friendly too. I will definitely recommend Transcorp to my friends and family. :)
Monika made the process of getting a quote super easy and organised the move for us very quickly. The moving guys were super friendly and handled everything with utmost care. All-in-all, a great experience!
This is the 4th time now that we have used Transcorp to move house. Each and every time it has been an excellent experience. The team arrived on time and were extremely helpful & careful with our furniture. Wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending...
There was no task too big for these guys.They were efficient , polite and extremely obliging even though we had to change our minds about certain items. I highly recommend Transcorp services for anyone looking at removalists for home or office.
I had a good experience when I moved my furniture from Canberra to Melbourne. Very supportive staff and great service. Highly recommended. Big thanks to Lili, Sam and Nilan/Milan.
I recently used Transcorp for a backend move to relocate a small number of items from Sydney to Tasmania. I was really happy with the customer service from Monika who answered every question I had in the quote stage and beyond promptly. Everything ran smoothly on each end.
