Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Saint Petersburg to Auckland

Before you can bring a car to New Zealand, it must be certified for entry. This step ensures your vehicle complies with New Zealand's strict rules and regulations and will ensure your vehicle is registered and licenced before it hits the road.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), where you drive your running vehicle onto a specialized ship and off at the destination, costing typically $900-$2500 but offering less protection and no personal items allowed. For more protection, container shipping (shared) is cheaper than sole use, while open transport is cheapest for domestic legs, but RoRo is the overall winner for budget overseas shipping. Comparing quotes from multiple online brokers like Shiply or uShip is crucial for finding the best rates.

Larger vehicles mean higher costs. Container shipping typically costs 20-30% more than RORO. Peak moving seasons (December-February) often see higher prices. As a rough guide, vehicle shipping Australia to NZ typically ranges from AUD $2,000 to 4,000 for standard vehicles.
