Hi [name]
Thanks for the opportunity to be able to quote on the movement of your vehicle!.
You have two different options when shipping your vehicle. The first and most popular option is roll on, roll off... This is where the vehicle is driven aboard the vessel and lashed to the deck for its journey. This option is much cheaper, although you cannot put any personal belongings in with the vehicle.
The second option is to load and lash the vehicle inside its own 20ft container – when choosing this option you can fill the vehicle with any personal effects or parts you wish to ship across as well...
For info on each type of shipping, please check out our guide here.

You have three different options when shipping your vehicle. The first and most popular option is roll on, roll off... This is where the vehicle is driven aboard the vessel and lashed to the deck for its journey. This option is much cheaper, although you cannot put any personal belongings in with the vehicle.
The second option we can offer is a shared 40ft container, this option gives you the ability to load personal items, tools etc within the vehicle / tray and costs are much less than using a 20ft container by yourself.
Thirdly, we can load and lash the vehicle inside its own 20ft container – when choosing this option you can fill the vehicle and the surrounds of the container with any personal effects or parts you wish to ship across as well. Here is a link outlining the space inside a 20ft container for your reference - please check out our guide here.
I will quote you on all options below.

Once the vehicle has cleared customs, it will need to undergo compliance and registration for use on NZ roads. This is a fairly simple process that we have outlined it in this article.

Cost is generally around AUD 450.00 + GST for a standard Australian vehicle as long as no work is needed, this would be payable directly to your chosen compliance depot.
The compliance depot will then issue you with a ‘certificate of compliance’ and a ‘warrant of fitness’ and from there your final step is to head to a NZTA branch where you be able to register the vehicle, obtain your number plates and then you can head back to the compliance depot, they can assist in attaching the plates for you and then you drive away all done and dusted.
Registration costs vary depending on the age and model of the vehicle, but general range between AUD 135.00 and AUD 190.00.
You will also need to double check with the compliance depot that your vehicle will meet NZ emissions standards, further information on this on the following link –
Class and Standards

This cost covers all the relevant compliance checks and documentation required in order to register the vehicle in NZ.
If the vehicle is not up to NZ standards then our workshop has the ability to complete the repairs / work required to get it up to standard and they will bill you the low cost of only NZD 80.00 + GST per hour plus parts to complete the relevant work if need be.
The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) require the following documentation to enable us to comply your vehicle. Please note the documents differ depending on the age of the vehicle. Vehicle’s that have had modifications or repairs carried out may also require additional certification.
Vehicles between 1999 and 2010
The vast majority of vehicles in this age bracket do not meet NZ’s Euro 4 Emissions or Frontal Impact Standards, however if you have owned and used the vehicle for in excess of 12 months in Australia, and have lived outside NZ for more than 21 months then you are able to claim the ‘Immigrants Exemption’ which we can apply for on your behalf – There is an additional cost of AUD 200.00 if we need to go down this path, and we will used various documentation to prove to the NZTA that you meet the above mentioned exemption criteria.
Vehicles between 2011 and 2019
*If you cannot obtain a hardcopy original registration certificate from the relevant state transport authority, then you will need to get a copy stamped and signed off by the Australian Transport Department in order for it to be accepted by the NZTA.
Please note that ALL vehicles require an ADR Plate to be adhered to the vehicle.
Our compliance facility is located in Penrose in Auckland, if you hold a NZ Drivers Licence they can register the vehicle for you, if not, there is an NZTA just down the road and they can either drop you down once the vehicle is ready to go so you can register it yourself, or they can put a dealer plate on your car to allow you to drive it there legally in order to get it registered.
The timeframe for vehicle compliance is around 2 working days from when it’s delivered from the port into the compliance facility.
Registration costs in NZ are also much cheaper than Australia, generally between NZD 130.00 and NZD 200.00 depending on the specifics of the vehicle.

Cleaning and preparation of cargo for export - It's important that you take the time to clean your vehicle as much as possible before handing it over for shipment. New Zealand is a beautiful country with some of the most amazing native plants and wildlife anywhere in the world.
The NZ government is doing all they can to ensure the environment is protected from foreign pest and diseases. This means that the Ministry for Primary Industries (NZ Quarantine / Bio-security) is quite strict and thorough when it comes to inspecting imported cargo. We see that around 40-50% of cargo fails the initial quarantine inspection on the border and requires some form of cleaning / treatment. Please keep this in mind when you're preparing your cargo for export.
On arrival, the vehicle will be driven over a ramp and a NZ quarantine officer will inspect all areas of the vehicle from top to bottom to ensure that there is nothing harmful that could potentially damage the NZ environment. NZ Quarantine officers are on the look out for anything biological. This includes grass, seeds, plant material, bugs, mud etc etc. When you are cleaning your vehicle, we recommend you using a high pressure hose and focus on cleaning through that you can see and your hand could reach including wheel arches and spare gadgets. It's a quarantine officer's job to try and find out the dirt and dust sort of thing. So, you should put yourself in their shoes when cleaning over your vehicle and make sure you can't see anything odd anywhere on the vehicle. Thinking like a quarantine officer is your best shot at passing the initial inspection.
If the vehicle fails and requires cleaning or treatment, this will take place on the port. The vehicle will not be released into NZ until it's been re-inspected and cleared for entry by a quarantine officer. If this happens, there will be various additional charges depending on what is ordered (Eg: Internal vacuum / under body wash etc). We don't like having to pass on extra charges, doing extra paperwork, and delaying the release of a vehicle as much as you don't like having to pay for these costs. So it's best for all of us if your vehicle is as much clean as possible prior to shipment.
These strict bio-security laws are in place for a great reason, If your vehicle fail its inspection and if you do have to pay some cleaning / treatment charges, please remember that, by doing so, you're playing your part to protect the future of New Zealand's environment and economy.
