How Caravan Shipping Works

Shipping a caravan from New Zealand to Australia—or vice versa—requires attention to detail. We begin by assessing the size, condition, and roadworthiness of your caravan. From there, our logistics specialists coordinate a shipping plan tailored to your needs, which may include roll-on roll-off (RoRo) transport or containerised freight, depending on size and destination.
We guide you through all customs requirements and paperwork so that there are no delays. Our team will also advise on inspections, cleaning standards, and any modifications needed to ensure your caravan is eligible for entry into the receiving country. When it arrives, we handle clearance and delivery or assist you in picking it up.
