CEVA Vehicle Logistics

What CEVA Vehicle Logistics does

CEVA Vehicle Logistics, operating as CEVA Car Carrying, is an Australian asset-based interstate vehicle transport provider and a subsidiary of CEVA Logistics. The company specializes in moving passenger vehicles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles (boats, caravans, jet skis, trailers), and prestige/racing cars across all Australian states and territories. It operates as a carrier rather than a broker, owning and operating a fleet of 350+ specialist auto carriers including cartainers and bolsters, supported by a network of 63 facilities and major depots in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin, Perth, Cairns, and Townsville.

The company offers three core transport tiers: CEVA Standard (economy, Australia-wide, $60,000 warranty), CEVA Express (priority metro-to-metro, 2-3 days faster), and CEVA Premium Enclosed (fully enclosed, $100,000 warranty, depot-to-depot) — the latter being the only service offering fully enclosed vehicle transport across the Nullarbor Plain to and from Western Australia. Adjacent services include Vehicle Storage at $50/day per vehicle, 24/7 online tracking via the C-PoD system, and a self-serve online Quote & Book platform providing up to 8 price comparisons. Specialized offerings cover motorcycle transport, race and prestige vehicle transport, and recreational vehicle transport.

The business model is primarily transaction-based, with revenue generated per vehicle moved at price points determined by vehicle type, route, and service tier, supplemented by usage-based storage fees. Customer segments span individual consumers relocating interstate, automotive dealerships and OEM fleets (named customers include Mazda, Ford, Subaru, Dutton, AutoRola, Just Honk), and prestige vehicle owners. Distribution combines a consumer-facing digital channel (website, online booking, customer care centre at 13 CARS) with enterprise field sales via a corporate login portal for fleet operators and dealerships.
