Motorcycle transport on the Gold Coast
Enclosed, insured motorcycle transport the length of the Gold Coast — Ormeau and Pimpama down through Southport and Robina to Coolangatta, and west into the hinterland. The vans are kept at Ormeau, so the northern end of the coast is home ground.

Gold Coast based, not Gold Coast visiting
The vans live at Ormeau, at the northern end of the City of Gold Coast, straight off the M1. A Coomera pickup or an Oxenford drop-off is a local run rather than a trip down from somewhere else, and a job at the southern end is still one highway with no city traffic in the middle of it.
The coast is really two transport problems wearing one postcode. East of the highway it is towers, holiday lets and gated canal estates, where the hard part is the gatehouse, the visitor bay and the height bar over the basement ramp. West of it is Nerang, Gilston, Tallai and the hinterland, where the hard part is four hundred metres of gravel and a shed at the bottom of it. Tell us which one you have and we bring the right gear.
A lot of coast bikes are bought or sold across a border. Tweed Heads is twenty minutes from Coolangatta and the plates change halfway down the street, so interstate and unregistered bikes are routine here rather than an exception.
Two bikes fit in a van and there are two vans. On the coast that usually means a pair going the same way — two to the same track weekend, or a dealer moving stock between sites. You get a price for the actual run, Burleigh to Upper Coomera or Currumbin to a workshop at Molendinar, before anything is booked.
Two bikes, one run down the coast
Two bikes fit in a van, and there are two vans.
Two go in each van, chocked and strapped shoulder to shoulder, and with both vans working that is four on the road at the same time. On the coast a multi-bike move is normally a pair heading the same direction, quoted and run as a single job with one pickup window and one price.
Showroom and service deliveries
Bikes out to buyers between Coomera and Coolangatta on one run, and stock shuffled between sites without anyone riding it through the middle of Southport on a Friday.
Track weekends
Two riders heading out together, or one rider taking a race bike and a road bike. They come home the same way, which is the leg nobody feels like doing after a full day in leathers.
Holiday garages
Bikes that live at a coast place for half the year. Two out of one garage in autumn and back again in spring is one booking rather than four.
Clearing a hinterland shed
A road bike, something for the dirt and whatever is half apart in the corner. We load what fits, come back for the rest if there is more, and price the lot before we start.
Why Gold Coast riders call us
The jobs that come up again and again between Ormeau and the border.
The building has one ramp and a height bar
Towers along the strip were not laid out around a van. Some basements will take one, some will only take it as far as the visitor bays, and plenty of buildings want the loading dock booked before anyone turns up. Give us the building and the access and we sort that out before the day rather than on it.
You bought it over the border
Tweed, Banora Point, Kingscliff and Murwillumbah are close enough to buy from and far enough that riding an unregistered bike back is not on. We cross the border often enough that a New South Wales purchase is an ordinary job.
The bike is here and you are not
Bikes sitting at a coast property while the owner is somewhere else entirely. We can collect with nobody home as long as someone can arrange access, and deliver to wherever you actually are.
The hinterland driveway won
Gilston, Mount Nathan, Tallai, Currumbin Valley and Springbrook. Steep, often gravel, sometimes one lane with a drop on the side. We will tell you honestly where the van can safely get to and we load from there.
It has not started since summer
A bike parked within sight of the water for six months does not always cooperate when you want it to. Flat battery, seized calipers, perished tyres — say so when you book and we arrive with what is needed to load it anyway.
It has to be there on a day, not sometime
Deliveries with a date attached: a bike that has to be on a floor for a weekend, or with a customer before they fly out of Coolangatta. Booked for the day and delivered enclosed.
Where we collect and deliver on the Gold Coast
The whole city top to bottom, the hinterland behind it, and across the border into the northern rivers when the job needs it.

Where Gold Coast bikes actually end up
Most coast jobs finish at one of these. Tell us who is receiving the bike and we will arrange the handover with them directly.
Service departments and workshops
The most common drop we do here. Molendinar, Nerang, Burleigh and the Currumbin industrial pockets are full of them, and a bike that will not start cannot get itself to any of them.
Showroom and customer deliveries
New and used bikes out to buyers, and stock moved between sites. Enclosed the whole way and handed over clean, on the day it was booked for.
Gated estates and canal addresses
Hope Island, Sanctuary Cove, Paradise Point and the canal streets behind them. The gatehouse wants the job on the visitor list — tell us the name it is booked under and we will handle that end.
Holiday lets and short stays
Bikes delivered to somewhere the owner is only staying for a week, and collected again at the end of it. Timing matters more than distance on these, so give us the check-out.
Storage units and lock-ups
In for the wet season, a trip away or a move, and back out again when you want it.
Across the border and onto a truck
Tweed and the northern rivers for the short hops over the state line, and freight depots when the bike is going a long way past them.
How far we run
- Anywhere in the City of Gold Coast, Ormeau to Coolangatta
- The hinterland: Nerang, Gilston, Mudgeeraba, Springbrook, Currumbin Valley

- Further afield: Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and interstate on request
Gold Coast runs we do most weeks
Ormeau sits at one end of most of these, which is why they are short.
Ormeau to the northside is one straight run, so a coast purchase headed for a Brisbane garage does not need a second day. Dealer deliveries go both ways on this leg.
Over the border to Tweed Heads, Kingscliff, Murwillumbah and down towards Byron. Close enough to be ordinary, far enough that an unregistered bike is not making the trip on its own wheels.
Ten minutes north of the yard. Workshops, trade-ins and auction stock, and the shortest leg on this list.
Nerang, Mudgeeraba, Springbrook, Currumbin Valley and up to Tamborine Mountain. The roads everyone wants to ride are also the ones that punish a bike you have not ridden before.
Across through Ipswich and up the range. A long day on a bike you do not know yet, and a straightforward run in a van.
Right through Brisbane and out the other side. Long enough that people would rather not do it twice in a day, which is usually why they call.
Loaded, strapped, delivered
Real jobs. Every one of these went inside one of the two vans.
Common questions
Are you actually based on the Gold Coast?
Yes. The vans are kept at Ormeau, at the northern end of the City of Gold Coast, right on the M1. We do not publish a street address because it is a home base rather than a depot, but the suburb is real and it is why northern coast jobs are the quickest runs we do.
Will you take a bike with no rego that will not start?
Yes. Unregistered, no roadworthy, flat battery, seized, or in pieces on a pallet — all normal. The only thing that changes is the gear we bring, so say which it is when you ask for a price.
Can you get a van into my building car park?
Sometimes. The ramp angle and the height bar decide it, and a few coast towers will not take a van past the entry at all. Give us the building and we will find out before the day. If the answer is no, we load at street level instead.
Can you cross the border into New South Wales?
Yes. Tweed Heads, Banora Point, Kingscliff, Murwillumbah and further down the northern rivers are regular runs. Which state the bike is registered in makes no difference to us.
Can you take more than one bike in a single run?
Two per van, and two vans, so four can move together. Most coast multi-bike jobs are a pair going to the same place, which travels in one van on one run. Tell us how many and what they are and we will confirm what fits and when.
What insurance covers the bike in transit?
Insured with NTI. Up to $150,000 accidental damage cover per load in transit, including loading and unloading. $30 million public liability. If a dealer, a workshop or a building manager wants those details in writing before we turn up, ask and we will send them through.
How much does motorcycle transport on the Gold Coast cost?
It depends on the two addresses, whether the bike rolls and starts, and how hard each end is to get a van into. A short northern-coast run is not priced like a hinterland driveway or a border crossing. Send the suburbs and the make and model and you will get a price for that run.
Do you go up into the hinterland and out to Springbrook?
Yes, and it is worth mentioning when you book. Steep, narrow and often gravel means we plan where the van stops rather than finding out on the day.
Do I need to be there for the pickup or the delivery?
Not usually. Plenty of coast jobs are collected from one person and delivered to another with the owner interstate the whole time. Give us a contact at each end and we deal with them.
Do you go outside the Gold Coast?
Yes. Brisbane, Logan, the Redlands, the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and over the border into northern New South Wales, plus interstate moves on request.
What if the bike breaks down?
Call. Breakdown recovery is answered 24/7. The M1 and the hinterland roads are the two places it usually happens and neither is a good place to sit and wait.
We cover the rest of South East Queensland too
