Coastal Car Shipping Adelaide to Perth

Driving from Adelaide into Western Australia isn’t always practical, especially when you’re relocating, moving a company vehicle, sending dealership stock, or simply trying to avoid putting extra kilometres across the Nullarbor. That’s why many customers now choose Coastal Car Shipping Adelaide to Perth as a more practical option for moving cars, SUVs, 4WDs, and fleet vehicles into WA.

Vehicles booked through our coastal schedules are received through our Wingfield depot in Adelaide before loading, with arrivals later processed through our Kenwick depot in Perth for collection or final delivery arrangements.

Adelaide to Perth Car Shipping By Sea Rates

The cost of Adelaide to Perth car shipping by sea mainly depends on the type of vehicle being shipped, along with its dimensions, modifications, and delivery requirements within Western Australia. Standard sedans and SUVs are usually easier to allocate on scheduled vessel movements, while lifted 4WDs, vehicles with roof racks, oversized tyres, canopies, or commercial modifications may require different space planning and pricing.

The rates below are based on standard-sized vehicles moving through our regular coastal shipping schedules. If your vehicle has modifications or special handling requirements, you can contact our team directly by phone or email for an updated quote and current vessel availability. In many cases, instant pricing can be provided once the vehicle details are confirmed.

Below is an estimated pricing guide:

Vehicle Type	Depot to Depot	Door Delivery Available
Sedan	From $1,150	Yes
SUV	From $1,320	Yes
Dual Cab Ute	From $1,480	Yes
4WD Wagon	From $1,650	Yes
Non-Running Vehicle	Non-Running Vehicle	Yes

Pricing may vary depending on dimensions, seasonal vessel schedules, delivery location, and freight allocation periods.

Vehicles We Ship By Sea From Adelaide to Perth

Every week, our coastal shipping schedules handle all types of vehicles moving from Adelaide into Perth. Some customers are relocating to WA, some are moving dealership stock, while others simply don’t want to drive long-distance across the country before the vehicle even reaches its destination.

We regularly move a wide mix of cars and commercial fleet units through our Adelaide to Perth coastal shipping schedules, including:

Sedans
Family SUVs
Dual cab utes
4WD wagons
Mining utes
Classic cars
Dealership stock
Company fleet units
Non-running vehicles

If your car has modifications such as lifted suspension, oversized tyres, roof racks, canopies, ladder racks, or rooftop tents, just let our team know during booking. Certain setups need additional vessel space planning before loading begins, especially larger 4WDs heading into WA through commercial freight periods.

For customers moving multiple cars together, we can also help arrange staggered depot receivals through our Wingfield depot before the scheduled sailing date, including larger WA mining and regional vehicle movement bookings.

Coastal Shipping for Dealerships, Company Fleets and Commercial Vehicle Movement

Along with private vehicle bookings, we also move dealership stock, mining utes, council vehicles, and company fleet units through our Australia-wide car shipping schedules heading into Perth.

Some customers are relocating staff into WA, while others need multiple fleet units moved together for operational use. We regularly receive enquiries from dealerships sending stock into Perth, mining-sector operators moving utility vehicles, and businesses relocating fleet units without adding unnecessary kilometres before the car even reaches site.

For larger fleet bookings, our team can also help organise staggered depot receivals through our Wingfield depot so vehicles can be prepared ahead of the scheduled sailing date. During busy commercial freight periods, earlier booking normally gives better access to available vessel space.

Insurance Coverage During Coastal Vehicle Shipping

A lot of customers ask us what happens if something goes wrong while the vehicle is moving between Adelaide and Perth. That’s why before your car is loaded for coastal shipping, our team completes a condition report and shares the photos so you have a clear record before departure.

Vehicles moving through our coastal schedules are covered under $20 million public liability insurance along with $1.6 million carrier transit insurance coverage. Whether you’re shipping a family SUV, dealership vehicle, company fleet unit, or a modified 4WD into WA, we always recommend letting our team know about any accessories or existing damage before the booking is finalised.

From the Adelaide depot receival through to Perth unloading, your vehicle remains within managed handling and scheduled vessel movement processes until collection or delivery is arranged.

Preparing Your Car Before Shipping

Before you drop the vehicle at our Wingfield depot, there are a few simple things we recommend checking so the loading process runs smoothly and there are no last-minute delays during vessel allocation.

Before shipping, our team normally asks customers to:

Keep the fuel level low
Make sure the battery is working properly
Remove loose or fragile accessories
Let us know if your car has alarm systems fitted
Inform us about any existing damage before receival
Advise us in advance about modifications or non-running condition

If your car has modifications such as lifted suspension, oversized tyres, roof racks, canopies, or rooftop tents, please let us know during booking as additional loading space may be required. Non-running vehicles should also be disclosed in advance so we can arrange the correct loading equipment.

You can leave up to 80kg of personal goods inside the car, provided everything is packed securely. An additional $80 charge applies for approved goods.

Simple 3 Step Adelaide to Perth Coastal Shipping Process

Step 1 – Request Your Quote

Send us your car details along with the Adelaide pickup or depot drop-off location and our team will check the available coastal vessel schedules for Perth. If the vehicle is modified, non-running, or carrying goods inside, it’s best to let us know during this stage so we can provide the correct pricing and loading requirements.

Step 2 – Vehicle Booking & Depot Processing

Once the booking is confirmed, we share the booking confirmation, vehicle condition report, and receival instructions for our Wingfield depot in Adelaide. Your car is then inspected, photographed, and prepared for coastal vessel allocation before departure into WA.

Step 3 – Perth Arrival & Collection

After the vessel arrives in Perth, your car is processed through our Kenwick depot before collection or final delivery arrangements are organised. Once your vehicle is ready, our team contacts you with the next update so you know when it can be collected or delivered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave luggage or boxes inside the car during shipping?

Yes, we can allow personal goods up to 80kg inside the car. The items should be packed properly and secured safely inside the car before receival. An additional $80 charge applies for approved goods transported with the booking.

How early should I book Adelaide to Perth coastal shipping?

During busy periods, especially around relocation seasons and commercial fleet movement periods, many customers secure bookings earlier to avoid limited vessel availability closer to departure dates.

Do modified 4WDs cost more to ship by sea?

In many cases, yes. Vehicles with lifted suspension, oversized tyres, roof racks, rooftop tents, or canopies can require different vessel space allocation compared to standard vehicles. It’s always better to let our team know about modifications during booking.

What happens if my car reaches Perth before I arrive?

That’s quite common with relocation bookings. Once the vehicle is processed through our Kenwick depot, our team can help coordinate the collection timing based on your arrival schedule.

Do non-running vehicles need special booking arrangements?

Yes. Non-running cars should always be mentioned before booking confirmation so we can organise the correct loading and unloading equipment before the vehicle arrives at the depot.
