Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Auckland

If you are moving to New Zealand or returning home, shipping your car is often a smart choice. This is because there are many GST (Goods and Services Tax) and compliance exemptions available. At Taurus Logistics, we pride ourselves on our flexibility. You won't have to worry about the red tape at NZ Customs and MPI.

Importing a Car to New Zealand from the USA Immigration status will determine what the goods and service tax (GST) will be for your vehicle upon import. The standard in NZ is a GST of 15% which is based not only on the value of the car but the ocean freight and insurance as well.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.
