Car Trailer Hire Australia

Car trailers (also called car carriers or vehicle transporters) are flat-deck or beavertail trailers built to transport a full car, ute, 4WD, or project vehicle. With drive-on ramps, a winch in many cases, and tie-down points purpose-built for vehicle wheels, they save you from the inflated cost of a tow-truck — typically saving $200–500 on a one-way vehicle move.

Most car trailers on TrailerConnect fall into two categories: 2-tonne (around 14–15ft, suits standard sedans and small SUVs) starting from $80/day, and 3.5-tonne (16ft+, beavertail, handles full-size 4WDs, dual-cabs, and larger project cars) typically $100–160/day. Many include a 12V winch — essential if the car you're shifting can't drive itself onto the deck.

Car trailers are perfect for picking up a project car from an interstate seller, moving a 4WD to a remote launch point, transporting a non-running vehicle to a mechanic, getting a track car to and from race days, or simply moving an extra car when you change house. Verified local owners across Australia mean you can find a car trailer near you, book online, and avoid the $300+/day commercial transporter rates.
