2. Enter your Details

Complete the form that pops up, inputting all relevant information and then press continue. Pay extra attention when inputting the make and model, what sort of hitch is on the caravan, the weight and dimensions. You’ll also want to indicate if it's registered and whether it needs to be trucked or towed.
Tip: Ensure you are getting these details from your seller if buying second hand.

3. Go Live with Your Listing

Follow the link on the activation email you will receive which ensures your listing is live on our website. Providers will be able to see your job and if it suits their schedule, they will post a quote! 

Now that you’ve listed your caravan and acquired quotes, you’re probably wondering what happens next. Well, now you can view providers' profiles to assess their reviews, previous jobs and company descriptions. You can message providers directly to ask ‌questions you may have about their quote and clarify any details about your caravan. We’ve enlisted these features to help you decide which provider is best for you. Once you’ve determined which provider you’d like to work with, it’s as easy as booking through the “proceed to accept” button.

Be sure to list your caravan ahead of time to ensure providers have plenty of notice to arrange schedules and quotes. Try to provide as much detail as possible when creating listings on our website to avoid any confusion during the quoting process.

If you're seeking convenience, door-to-door service is the choice to make, as our transport providers will go the extra mile (literally) to make the process of organising transport easy. Direct-to-door is not restricted to the transitional operating hours that depot services are, and therefore providers offer flexible meet times, including on weekends, early mornings or even at night. While this service is often more expensive than depot-to-depot shipping, it guarantees there will be no depot storage fees if you are unable to visit the depot during regular business hours.
