Im looking at buying a car for parts, the seller says he can take it to picton.

- Does anyone know if there is any problem with sending the car by itself then I pick up on my end?
- Since it is dereg'd, will it need to be on a trailer?
- Any other suggestions on how to get it over the water?

Cheers

From the interislander website:

Q: Must I have a driver to accompany my car?

A: Yes, all vehicles must have someone travelling with them.

Your best option for sending it will be on the train, seems a bit pointless because it justs goes on the ferry anyway, but that's just the way it works i guess

Im pretty sure you can send them with out people, or you then try blueridge, i nkow one of them does, and then, if they wont. Straight Shipping does, goes to picton, or nelson, wish I had known this early once got quoted by a car moving compony $500 to get a car from nelson, crazy

Get on the ferry and go over the Picton, shouldn't cost too much. Pick up the car on the other side and go back over

there are really only two options for shipping across the straight.

you can go either with interislander , but seems they require you to accompany the car anyway , or the strait shipping ferrys , they have a freight ship and 2 passenger ship with garages i think. straight shippingf are normally pretty good , just give them a call and see what they can do for ya.
