Getting a car from Christchurch to Auckland

Postby Tuscan » Wed Oct 10, 2007 2:02 pm

I've seen a car I like the look of on trademe but its in Christchurch... I live in Auckland :?

Can anyone recommend a company to transport it up here for me? Want to get some quotes so I can decide whether it would be worth it.

Cheers

Why not fly down and drive it back up?
The way prices are looking at the moment for flights you could probably fly to CHCH for less than $50. :wink:

Drive & fly is the best option by far, did this a couple of months ago, ended up costing around $350 with gas & everything

it cost me 700 to get a crashed carina down from auk, if its drivable then do it, are you sure all flights are booked? try the stand by list, if some cancels at the last minute then your in for a really cheap price, this time last year a friend girl got a flight for $17!!!
