Kiwi Car Carriers provide up to 21 days free storage at all four of our TRS facilities in the Japan ports of Funabashi, Kawasaki, Nagoya and Osaka. 

24 hour security, 7 days per week, providing further convenience and peace of mind.

Vehicles purchased at Auction in Japan can be transported directly to our terminals for loading on the next available vessel to Australia and New Zealand.

Electronic surveys are carried out on all vehicles on receipt into Kiwi Car Carriers care at each loading port.  A further survey (including matching with original data) at the ports of discharge ensures that your vehicle is afforded the very best of care and attention.  Uniquely designed Condition Reports, specially designed software, and touch screen hand-held terminals, further emphasizes the Kiwi Car Carriers philosophy of providing a "total care" package for our Shipping services.

All vehicles are covered by a unique specialized marine insurance policy (KIPS) which covers from point of purchase in Japan to place of first delivery.  For specific KIPS cover details, click here!

A special survey control sticker is placed on each vehicle prior to loading on board each vessel.

Through Quarantine Inspection facilities set up in all four load ports in Japan, Kiwi Car Carriers are able to ensure that your vehicles are New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forests (MAF) inspected prior to loading.  This allows for quicker access to your vehicles after discharge, and of course minimizes the risk of harmful pests entering New Zealand.

KIWI Coastal is a southbound, wharf to wharf service only.  Offering you the ability to relocate vehicles and machinery from the ports of Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Wellington and Lyttelton.  (For further details please make enquiries with the appropriate team member on our team contacts page).
