JiB 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 My car needs to get to Christchurch, and a car needs to get from Christchurch to Auckland. Anyone have experience, contacts, companies they can recommend? Price? Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) I believe train is cheapest at about $550. I had a couple of quotes on cars from Hamilton to Chch on a truck... was about $7-800. If you get cheap ferry tickets, you could drive yours to Chch and drive the other back. EDIT - I think this whole deal has something to do with the double engine bay dragon shot posted last night. More BS incest! Love it! Edited May 29, 2010 by _Mark_ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JiB 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 Time is an issue, and long trips in a race car is never an enjoyable experience. Will investigate train. Cheers mark. P.S. Perhaps more incest, a car might be returning to Auckland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RvT 9 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 I have used Jeffs a lot. Also Pacifica Shipping had a roll on roll off service which I have used twice as cheaper. Not sure if is still happening. NZ Rail still worries me with their handling of goods .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 I also used Jeff's but from Wellington to Auckland and he did it for $250 cash cos he was going to be returning to AKL with an empty load anyway. Try that maybe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
