Can anyone suggest a (not rude) option! Friend has a trailer that has broken in Gisborne and needs to get to AKL. It has broken a bearing but it is not an easily available bearing. Options for transport! Have tried some. Of course they need to have some way of getting in on board.

NOT going to happen without a LOT of $$$$$

well then you need to pay loads of money as its the size of a car. so car transporter would be it. Dont know if AA brakedown service covers trailers. Otherwise join AA for 400$ gold membership or highest membership what ever it is where you can tell the transporter where to deliver.

Free towing
We'll get your disabled vehicle (plus any boat, caravan or trailer you were towing) home or to the nearest repairer.
Pretty sure theres a "grace period" before you can claim on anything of that expense.

I reckon you'd have to charge around 8 hundy (give or take) to pickup, drop off and return home - minimum. What were you thinking!

With a tandem trailer on, that would be just over 2 tanks of diesel for me. Auckland to Gisbourne return 3 tanks personally because I am in Hamilton to start with.
