Why we’re different, is because we offer you a specialised niche shipping service specifically tailored to solving your problem.

Services like fixing an oil leak on your excavator so it doesn't miss the next sailing. Or taking photos of your yacht loading if you can't be there in person to give you piece of mind.

Sending a car is a daunting task which the Taurus made easy. Then on the otherside in Brisbane their introduction to get the car on the road.. registration etc were trustworthy and reasonably priced. Overall a great result.

Very responsive, but beware of hidden costs

Very responsive and helpful company. However, it wasn’t communicated up front that we’d be waiting over 3 months to get a vehicle from NZ to AUS, and lots of hidden costs e.g. converted quote to AUD from NZD at invoice date, vehicle had additional cleaning after its tiki tour around Japan which cost another $550…

Hi Lucy,
Thanks for the feedback. Yes unfortunately a bit out of our hands because there where no scheduled sailing from Lyttleton. Quarantine cleaning is excluded from our quote as it depends on what treatment the car needs.
Cheers

Went with this company as trust pilot gave them a rating well, says another for trust pilot assurance. I would advise anyone thinking of this business to transport their vehcile then think again and then think some more as they provided a quote and they have hidden costs which amount to 35% more than they quote so ignore their claim about not hidden costs, it's false they even tried to charge an extra 1100 dollars and when challenged they adjusted . I have transported numerous vehicles and didn't think in today's age numpties like Taurus existed but they do ,

I was originally told to get the car to Wellington nz for shipment. I found out after a long wait that the shipping line had put there boats in dry dock until next year.
So I had to move it to Auckland. I could have done that in the first place if told.

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it was unfortunate as we were not informed the vessels were going to drydock either. Thanks again for your business and all the best in Australia. :)

great service

The team was prompt, gave a detailed quote (the cheapest of three), followed up and answered questions. In the end I decided not to ship my car but do highly recommend Taurus.

Even though we were unable to proceed, Barbara was exceptionally informative, friendly and professional with a great sense of humour. A reassuring approach with excellent clarity and explanations. Thanks Barbara. Marcus.

I engaged Taurus Logistics to bring my vehicle from Tullamore, Ireland to Geelong, Australia. The quote I requested was a door to door service. The vehicle was a non-runner and had to be picked up in Tullamore and delivered to Geelong. I was going to be in Ireland when the car was to be picked up. The first hint of trouble was when the shipping company sent me the address of where to deliver the car in Dublin. I told them they were to collect the car in Tullamore. Two days later, a phone call saying their truck was too big to drive down the road to our house and could I drive the car to Tullamore CBD. I explained to him it’s a non runner and needs to be picked up. They said they were not aware of that and they would come back the next day with a smaller truck, which they did.

Once the car reached Australia, I got an email from Taurus informing me my vehicle was ready for collection at a depot in Altona, and I had five days to collect it before storage would be charged. I told them the deal was for it to be delivered, and could I have a same day delivery notice. Two days later, the car was at my door, but I was at work, no notice. I spoke with the delivery driver, a lovely man, and he told me he usually charges $350 to Geelong CBD, I was billed $475 from Taurus.

To be fair to them, they got my vehicle here safely and with no damage, and were ok to deal with. However, there seemed to be little communication between companies and they needed a few prompts on what we agreed on. My total bill was more than $2000 over the original quote, a little disappointing.
Would I use them again? Maybe, but I’d get a few more quotes next time.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the feedback, and apologies for the hiccups around the collection in Ireland.
I have reviewed your invoice with the team here and all looks in order. you may have overlooked the additional cost for collection which was requested after the quote and of course, your import GST/duties.

Great Communication

Great communication apart from the delay.
I was surprised that my UTE had heavy mud under the guards don't know if it was driven in a muddy area. The Ute was spotless when dropped off at the Auckland Depo.

There was extra costs from customs etc that I did not expect and there was some minor damage to the motorcycle. However, this was not Taurus responsibility. They kept me well informed of requirements. Craig

Thanks Craig,
Happy to help with the arrival Customs and Quarantine Clearance only.
The company who shipped it for you(not Taurus) should have told you about arrival costs. They are also responsible for the shipment and any damage.
Thanks again and enjoy your motorbike.
