Car shipping costs to New Zealand will differ and will depend on the port of arrival. For example to ship your car to Auckland will in fact be cheaper than if you shipped it to say Lyttelton, Christchurch or Wellington. Auckland is the main port of arrival in New Zealand where vehicles destined for other areas will tranship on smaller ships. Typical car shipping costs to Auckland start from £895.00 on our shared container services for a standard size saloon or £950.00 for a 4 x 4 such as a Mercedes ML.
Our roll on/roll off costs to Auckland are slightly more expensive, however this method of shipping may work out cheaper on the import in to New Zealand in the long run.
