Not asking for drivers, but what is the cheapest transport moving people that are reliable, to move a car from Auckland to Dunedin?
I got quoted $12xx for Jeffs by the dealer. (didn't call them directly)
It used to be really cheap!

ajobbins: Cheapest way would almost certainly be to drive it there yourself. A couple of days of your life, couple of tanks of gas, cheap motel room and a plane ticket home.

afe66: Get a student to drive it down ?
Shoes2468: I used to work in the industry, (for Jeffs) which is now owned by palmerston transport. there is only three main players, palmerston transport(Jeffs, Automovements, NZVD), Car Haulaways(car distribution group/HaulPlus, http://www.haulplus.co.nz/index.aspx ,Carr and Haslam I think) and Auto Express(Toll Rail http://www.turners.co.nz/PageFiles/1744/Transport_costs.pdf). Prices will vary even within the groups, I would suggest the first two are on par service/quality wise, and auto express seem to be a little rougher on the gear imo but this could be a result of the cars going into rail cars instead of trucks. Also be aware to check with your insurance as all of the carriers will normally only have limted carriers liability, basically if they total your car/boat etc all you will get is $1500, you need your insurance company to cover the rest. There are also resellers like Captain Transporter these guys basically re-sell palmerston transport services, or whoever is cheapest then add on their margin.
