Vehicle transportation is a logistically complex business, with operators having to balance out customer and dealer needs with their own business efficiency requirements. That's where Compare Quotes plays an essential role as a one-stop car transport brokerage.
Compare Quotes' goal is to ensure your car transport needs are met in a cost and time-efficient manner. For dealers and large-scale users, Compare Quotes' access to a nationwide network of carriers helps ensure the lowest possible price for any run at any given time. With different carriers coming in with more competitive prices on different runs, it's like having multiple transport accounts without the hassles.
The company's network effectively turns the whole of Australia into your territory, allowing customers to buy from interstate when you have the car they're after. Compare Quotes will deliver exactly the service you're looking for -- from large-scale ongoing fleet jobs with big name carriers, to individual unit jobs for one-offs and specialty loads.
Compare Quotes will also find you bulk-booking discounts, and do all the backroom administrative work, allowing your people to spend more time doing what they're there to do -- selling cars and running your business.
According to Compare Quotes Car Manager, Shelley Tonkin, considerable savings can be delivered from day one.
"We can deliver savings to customers because of the volume of transport bookings we make. The more you book, the cheaper it gets," she explained.
According to Ms Tonkin, Compare Quotes' status as a car transport broker is key to its service. She says the company negotiates "without fear or favour".
"Our job is to find you the most cost-effective transport solution -- each run, every run."
And there are savings on offer even for one-off customers.
"As a general consumer going straight to a big name carrier you’re looking at just over $800 to transport a Commodore from Brisbane to Adelaide. Use us and that same carrier will drop the price to around $630. Use another of our carriers and we can get it down as low as $469," Shelley explained.
"Of course, the prices fluctuate week to week with changes in fuel prices and so on. But we'll always get you the best price. It's actually worked so well for our carriers that one has dropped the prices for us on the high-volume runs and extended its routes to Brisbane and Townsville, where they never went before."
Ms Tonkin says Compare Quotes will ensure your vehicle is picked up and delivered wherever you need it – depot to depot, door to door, depot to door, door to depot. For vehicles with special needs, such as racecars, vintage or prestige models, enclosed transport and other specialised services can be provided.
"While most carriers need two working days' notice for a pickup, we can often set customers up with next working day pick-up," says Tonkin.
So, some tips on ensuring a smooth move of your stock?
"It's best to supply us with full details up front -- that's pickup and delivery addresses, contact numbers both ends, plus registration or VIN number," says Shelley.
She explains also that vehicles must be fully drivable with no serious body damage. It's also important to remove extraneous or loose items and accessories. And for oversize vehicles (more than 5m long, 2m wide and 2.1m high) you'll need to ask for a special quote based on exact dimensions.
"We can easily deal with all that. Just let us know when you call..."
