The overall cost really depends on whether you want to bring a vehicle or not. It is much more expensive to bring a vehicle.
If you want to bring a vehicle, then your only reasonable option is the ferry. There are two ferry services:
If you do not want to bring a vehicle, the cheapest way is probably to fly (although the ferry has better scenic views, unless the ocean conditions are rough). Flights between the main centres (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch) will be the cheapest. Check:
If you are renting a vehicle, then ask the rental company about options they have for ferry travel. Almost all rental companies will let you drop off the vehicle on one side of the Strait, travel by ferry without a vehicle, then pick up an equivalent one on the other side.
