Self-tow requires prior approval.
YGT checks the actual driver and towing vehicle for the booking. If you prefer YGT transport, current working transport rates are $100 + GST one way or $180 + GST for delivery and collection, with additional travel beyond 5 km charged at $2.20 + GST per km on the excess distance. If ratings, licence, condition, braking, breakaway, lighting, restraints or actual mass cannot be reasonably confirmed, YGT may require delivery instead.
The administrative check is not engineering certification and does not replace the driver's legal obligations.
Check your dates before you plan the job.
