I am in the beginning stages of planning a possible 1-2 year trip to NZ and Australia.
I have been researching importing cars into NZ but am finding it to be highly unlikely due to the regulations I am reading. I am not looking to move there but rather use my vehicle to travel through the country on a kind of overland trip. I am finding importing a LHD vehicle into NZ rather difficult but I assume there has to be a way for those simply traveling through the country. I have a mate looking into the Australian requirements so I guess this post would be geared more towards getting my vehicle into NZ more than anything. Does a valid Carnet allow me to travel to these countries without much issue?
Any info would be awesome on this and first hand experience would be even better. Below are some pics of my rig.
