Bought a Non-Runner on TradeMe? Inter-City Transport Guide

Scored a bargain project car in another city? Here is how to get it home without breaking the bank.

The "As Is, Where Is" Challenge

Buying a car that doesn't run usually means you can't use standard car shipping companies, as many require the vehicle to be drivable for loading.

Option A: Renting a Trailer

You could rent a car trailer, but do you have a tow vehicle capable of pulling 2,000kg? Do you have the experience to strap it down safely? Factor in fuel, ferry costs (if crossing islands), and your time.

Option B: Winch-Assist Transport

Drivon specializes in non-runner logistics. Our trucks are equipped with heavy-duty winches to pull dead vehicles onto the deck. We can arrange point-to-point transport for your new project car, often cheaper than the cost of a DIY road trip.
