My van is 2.7m high - higher than a 20ft container (tut) so it looks like RORO is my only option even though it's a small van. Can any of you recommend a cheap (ha!) RORO company ... or might you have a solution to the shipping container issue?
No you can get a "High Cube" extra high 20' container. This will still be cheaper than the RORO rate by a long shot. I had a motorhome shipped out of Southampton port back in July by
Wilhelmsen They offered the most direct route to shipping to NZ from the UK. Was very pleased of their service. Beware before you bring a vehicle over, make sure it can be NZ registered. That is you know full history of the VW. If it's been in a major accident, don't bother trying to bring it over as the compliance and repair work certification will cost a fortune.
FYI, the Fiat Ducato motor home (6.3m long) costed me over $9K NZD just on shipping. RORO was only option.
