Time on Site

 

Local handovers typically take 30 minutes–2 hours; short inter‑urban deliveries are 2–6 hours and long distances can take a day or more factors that extend time include distance, traffic, ferry or route restrictions, vehicle faults and waiting for access or paperwork

 

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• are you insured for vehicle transport, damage and third‑party liability

• what is included in the price and when do extra charges apply

• will you provide a dated photo condition report and a handover receipt

• how do you handle keys, identification and paperwork at collection and delivery

• what are your cancellation, waiting time and liability terms

• do you have restrictions for EVs, high vehicles or restricted access sites

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• ensure clear access and legal parking at collection and delivery addresses

• agree fuel and mileage policy and note current level on handover photos

• confirm insurance cover in writing and get contact for claims

• provide clear key handover instructions and a single point of contact

• flag any restricted access, low bridges, narrow lanes or EV charging needs before booking
