Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Vienna 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.

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.

Motor vehicles and motorcycles are generally free from import tariffs, but subject to 15% Goods and Services Tax (GST). The exceptions are ambulances and motorhomes which are subject to 10% duty on top of the 15% GST. As a visitor to New Zealand you can take a vehicle for up to one year without paying duty or GST.
