The cost to import a car depends greatly on where you are buying the car in the world and what services they have to new Zealand, however most times taxes are the most costly thing to consider i.e. a port to port import of a 2020 Toyota Hilux from Brisbane to Auckland maybe as little as $1850.00 for shipping however depending on your situation and what value you bought the vehicle for you could be up for thousands more in taxes. Its important to engage with a freight forwarder like rocket freight before buying anything overseas so you can obtain a true cost of the whole undertaking.
