Car shipping questions
How much does car shipping cost?
It depends on the route and the size of the vehicle. To New Zealand, cars up to 20 m³ ship at a set price per car, and caravans and motorhomes are priced on volume (length × width × height) with a 50 m³ minimum, plus fixed port and customs charges at each end. Enter your vehicle in the price box above for an instant quote on our published routes. We book direct with the shipping lines, which keeps our car shipping affordable.
Do you offer door-to-door car shipping?
Yes. We arrange pickup from your home, dealer or auction yard, deliver the vehicle to the port, ship it, clear it through customs and biosecurity, and deliver it at the other end. Cars to New Zealand include collection and delivery to the port within 50 km. Any other cartage is quoted when you book.
How long does it take to ship a car to New Zealand?
Port to port to Auckland usually takes 5 to 14 days, depending on the sailing and your load port. Wellington, Lyttelton and Nelson can take longer when the vessel tranships via Auckland. See the live sailing schedule for exact dates.
Which ports do you ship from?
Brisbane, Sydney (Port Kembla), Melbourne, Adelaide and Fremantle, with weekly roll-on roll-off sailings to New Zealand and container or RoRo services to Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the UK.
