Importing Cars from the UK to New Zealand

Importing a vehicle to New Zealand from the UK can be more complicated than importing vehicles from other markets, as some vendors prefer not to participate in the export process. This is where the friendly and knowledgeable team at AUTOHUB can help.

AUTOHUB are the experts in importing or exporting vehicles. We offer a door-to-door (D2D) service that start with the collection of your vehicle from the vendor through to when your new imported car is delivered to your nominated address.


AUTOHUB Services

AUTOHUB is a leading imported vehicle shipper from the UK to New Zealand. We offer easy and cost-effective options for importing a vehicle into NZ. We have long-established relationships with vehicle and service suppliers and shipping companies.

We offer RORO (Roll on, Roll off) shipping from two ports in the UK, predominantly out of Southampton. This is recommended for larger vehicles and boats, or if you prefer this mode of shipping for your vehicle.

This service includes:

  • Shipping from Southampton, UK, direct to most NZ ports
  • Photographic Gate-In inspection
  • Delivery of vehicle to a local compliance centre
  • Full insurance while the car is in our care
  • UK and NZ Customs Clearance.

Caravans are shipped via container or RoRo. However, most caravans will fit into containers and ship more economically to NZ this way.


Additional AUTOHUB Services

As well as our AUTOHUB package service, we offer optional add-on services. These include:

  1. UK collection of vehicles for shipping

Vehicles can be either driven directly to the port facility or transported by an appropriate carrier.

  1. UK Value Added Tax (VAT) handling and re-claim

VAT is similar to New Zealand’s GST (ie. a local sales tax), but it differs in that only certain vehicles qualify to have this tax re-claimed if they are exported outside of the Euro-zone (EEC). There are very strict criteria around this process.

AUTOHUB has a contractual arrangement with a VAT registered company within the UK so we can assist with reclaiming VAT for qualifying cars and commercial vehicles. As long as the vehicle and the vendor fit the profile, we can help with VAT Reclaim.

  1. Sourcing of suitable vehicles

AUTOHUB has been in the import and export business for a long time and have built up established and trusted relationships around the world and including the UK. One of these relationships is with BUYUKCARS.

BUYUKCARS can help you find suitable cars from reputable sources in the UK with confidence and AUTOHUB can also help you buy vehicles from five major auction chains in the UK and also facilitate introductions for NZ buyers to UK vendors.

If you are unsure if a vehicle you’re considering meets all NZTA criteria, our expert team can provide sound advice and give you peace of mind before making a purchase.

Insurance

With AUTOHUB there’s no need to worry about damage to your new vehicle –our package service price includes extensive Transit Insurance Cover.

Full cover starts the moment your vehicle is in AUTOHUB’s care and control and stops when we hand your keys to you.
