If you are heading to Queensland, Australia, for a vacation then it is best to utilize a car hire instead of paying to have your car transported overseas. On the flip side, however, if you are staying for a longer duration of time it will end up more cost efficient to have your own vehicle. Below you will find some guide lines on the procedure for getting you vehicle shipped overseas to Australia.

There are two available options for you to choose when you are looking to bring your own vehicle with you whiling staying in Australia. The first is transport it under a car net cover and the second is by utilizing section 162 of the Customs Act. When deciding on the suitable transportation method, you should also contact the Australian Customs Department to acquire information on fee, duties, taxes and quarantine requirements.

In general, unless otherwise pre-approved, your vehicle may not be altered, given away, sold, hired or mortgaged during your stay. Upon arrival in the Queensland you will need to make sure your vehicle is inspected by Australian Customs and the AQIS.

If you do choose to bring your vehicle into Australia then it is important to note that while your vehicle is there you must also remain in Australia . Also a vehicle that is temporarily allowed into the country will have a date that it must be again exported out of the country.

Overall, it is a process to bring your vehicle into Australia and therefore it is only suggestible to those who find themselves in need of transportation for a long term, temporary stay. For everyone else it is truly advisable to just seek out a good deal on a long term car hire, as by the time you pay all the fees and taxes associated with importing your vehicle a car hire will probably be just as cost effective and be much less of a hassle.
