Hello,

Does anyone know the cheapest way to ship a car from Hamilton to the South Island?

Drive it down and find a rentle car that needs to be returned.

cheapest does not mean best?

Honestly--the cheapest way is to drive it and catch a cheapy plane flight back

If you have the time available then definetely drive down. Could do that over two days, first day drive to wellington then jump on the ferry, stay in picton then next day drive to where-ever and fly come. Ive brought two cars home from upper north island, first was from auckland and total cost was about $700 including flights up & ferry. Next time was a little more due to boost ha, and that was from kerikeri so added a bit more to flights and petrol. Two full days covers it.

Towed the race car to auckland and back not long ago and that was two days each way. That was a bit over $1600 return I think, including ferry.

Ive priced up transport before but it doesn't even come close to competing, so if you're up for a drive and have a couple days spare then go for it.
