Hi all, any suggestions on good companies that can transport a car from Otago to BoP? I've looked at a few online quotes, and they all appear pretty similar (around 1400). Anyone got any recommendations or warnings? Thanks.

I've used Jeff's Transport - CHCH to Wellington before and they were fine

I used toll and the car turned up damaged, with a flat tyre and late. Also it was dropped off by a another car transporter company, not a happy customer, so I can't recommend toll. But that's just my experience.

I have heard a few good things about Jeffs. I'll give them a call today. Cheers for the replies!

Captain transporter, it may well arrive on a Jeff's truck anyway, but cheaper than you'd get it.
Daughter just had a car delivered today by Car Distribution, arrived in Oamaru with rear bumper caved in, left Christchurch this morning all good, (photo's to prove it), driver's unsure what happened

What car, where from to where, is it currently wof, rego ,insured.
Yikes! If I didn't hate flying so much I'd go get it myself. Car is a reg'd warranted insured Fiat x19. So yeah, part of me is worried that a 36yo car will have a tough making it up the country, but it also could be an absolutely epic drive. Car is in Cromwell, I'm in The Mount.

just had a car delivered to Auckland from Dunedin $840 with Car Distribution Group . took 2 weeks so a bit slower than Jeffs who took a week from Timaru to Auckland with a similar car, no engine and cost $1700 (approx $1250 if it was driveable) .

That would be a lovely drive at this time of the year, especially in a Fiat X19. Either suck it up and fly, or use rail & bus to get to Cromwell, or get your vendor to drop it off somewhere nearer. I would recommend take some drugs, fly down to Queenstown (lots of cheap fares) and have a great time cruising back.

I recently picked up my newly purchased car from Christchurch in under 20 hours .Got on a 4.00pm plane from Auckland to Christchurch,got picked up from the airport by the dealer around 530pm,looked at the car then bought it, got some dinner,left Christchurch around 730pm,drove to Picton by around 1230pm where I stayed overnight,then I was on the 10.30am ferry to Wellington and apart from a couple of stops I got back to Auckland by midnight.Excellent drive and would happily do it all again!Cost nearly $300 for flight (One hours notice),$150 fuel,Ferry $200 and accommodation was over budget (I had to find a place to stay at midnight as I hadn't booked so paid about $150.Could have been done a little cheaper with more planning but was a snap decision lol.

Christchurch to Auckland is one of the cheapest flights in the country.
Otago to Bay of Plenty would be moonbeams.
