Long Distance Towing Wellington — Wellington to Auckland, Christchurch & Beyond

Long Distance Towing from Wellington

Wellington's position at the bottom of the North Island makes long-distance towing from the city somewhat unique among New Zealand centres. Towing from Wellington to Christchurch, for example, involves the Cook Strait ferry crossing — an additional logistical consideration that most towing companies manage but few discuss transparently. Towing Wellington provides long-distance vehicle transport from Wellington to any New Zealand destination, including South Island destinations via the Interislander or Bluebridge ferry.

Wellington to Christchurch — The Ferry Consideration

Towing from Wellington to Christchurch requires driving through the Marlborough Sounds to Nelson or over the Remutaka to the Wairarapa, taking the Cook Strait ferry (Interislander or Bluebridge), and then driving through Marlborough and Canterbury to Christchurch. The vehicle is loaded on the tow truck for the entirety of the journey, including the ferry crossing. Ferry booking and timing is coordinated as part of the towing arrangement.

Wairarapa Connection

Wellington is the primary service hub for the Wairarapa region via the Remutaka Hill. Masterton, Carterton, Greytown, and Martinborough are all served by Towing Wellington for both local and long-distance towing. Vehicles needing towing from the Wairarapa to Wellington (or further) are a regular part of our long-distance operations.
