Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Wellington to Niamey

Shipping a Car from New Zealand to the USA starts at a cost of $3,250 USD with an estimated turnaround time of 30 days, depending on make and model of the vehicle, the nearest departure port in New Zealand and whether the destination in the USA is on the east or west coast.

Driving is usually cheaper for shorter distances, but for long cross-country moves, the cost difference shrinks, and shipping can become comparable or even cheaper once you factor in gas, lodging, food, wear-and-tear, and your time, making the decision depend on distance, vehicle, your schedule, and budget. Driving saves money on carrier fees but adds wear on your car, while shipping costs more upfront but saves time, fuel, and stress.

For example, Auckland to Wellington car transport will cost just north of $650.
