Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ)

How long does it typically take for car shipping across Canada to or from Alberta?

Transit times for major cross-country routes generally range from 8 to 14 days. The exact timeline depends on the route—for example, Calgary to Vancouver is shorter than Edmonton to Halifax. Transport method (open vs. enclosed) and time needed for vehicle consolidation at transfer points may also affect overall duration.

Is the cost for nationwide auto transport service to Alberta fixed?

Pricing varies based on distance (e.g., Calgary to Toronto vs. Calgary to Edmonton), vehicle size and type, and your chosen service level (door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal). For accurate pricing, use our online quote calculator.

What is the difference between Terminal-to-Terminal and Door-to-Door service in Alberta?

Door-to-door service provides pickup and delivery as close as legally possible to the specified addresses. Terminal-to-terminal requires dropping off your vehicle at a designated terminal and picking it up at the destination terminal—usually at a lower cost with greater scheduling flexibility.

Is my vehicle fully protected during the Alberta transport process?

Yes. Your vehicle is covered by comprehensive carrier insurance from pickup to delivery. We carry standard liability and cargo insurance to protect against damage caused by carrier negligence, with full coverage details included in your booking confirmation.

Can I ship an oversized truck or specialty vehicle to or from an Alberta location?

Absolutely. We regularly transport oversized trucks, non-running vehicles, luxury models, and classic collector cars. These shipments may require enclosed carriers or custom flatbeds, so please specify this during quoting to ensure the correct equipment is assigned.

What are the peak seasons for car shipping across Canada, and how does that affect Alberta routes?

Peak seasons include late spring and summer (May–August) and the snowbird period (October–November). During these times, demand rises, pricing may increase slightly, and booking earlier is recommended. Winter weather across the Prairies can also create occasional delays.

What documents are required to ship my vehicle within or out of Alberta?

You will need vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and valid photo ID. If a representative is handling pickup or delivery, they must be over 18, have the key, and be authorized to sign the inspection report on your behalf.

Can I include personal belongings in my vehicle when shipping within Alberta?

We strongly advise against this, as carrier insurance does not cover personal contents. If items must remain in the vehicle, they should be limited to 100 lbs, secured in the trunk, declared beforehand, and are transported at your own risk.

Do you service remote Canadian locations beyond major hubs like Calgary and Edmonton?

Yes. We ship to many remote and northern communities in Alberta and across Canada. These routes may require specialized regional carriers or transport through the nearest available terminal, which can extend timelines and increase costs.

What preparation steps are necessary before the vehicle is picked up for transport in Alberta?

Ensure your vehicle has no more than a quarter tank of fuel, is clean for accurate inspection, and that any loose exterior accessories (antennas, removable racks, non-factory spoilers) are removed. Make sure keys and required documents are ready at pickup.
