From Perth to Castle Donington
Fremantle is Perth’s port, and Western Australia’s main container port. From most of the metro area it is not a long drive.
Western Australia is enormous, and plenty of cars live a very long way from the coast. Wherever yours is, we plan how it reaches Fremantle and tell you before anything moves.
We are often asked about Fremantle, Joondalup, Rockingham, Mandurah, Bunbury, the Perth Hills, the Pilbara and Goldfields. All fine.

Before it leaves Western Australia
Three local jobs to sort while you are still there. Everything after collection is ours.
-
The rego
Registration in Western Australia is handled by the Department of Transport. Talk to us before you cancel it, so the timing lines up with the collection.
-
Tolls
Perth has no toll roads, so there is no tag to remember. One less job before you go.

Any finance
A car with money owing is usually recorded on the PPSR. It needs to be cleared, or the lender needs to agree, before the car can be exported.
Ringing us from Perth
Perth is 7 to 8 hours ahead of the UK. Western Australia does not use daylight saving, so Perth is 7 hours ahead in the British summer and 8 in the winter. It is the easiest Australian city to ring us from.
