Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ)

How long does it take to ship a vehicle from London?

Most vehicle shipments from London take a few days to several weeks depending on the destination.

Shorter routes within Ontario, such as London to Toronto or London to Hamilton, often take 1 to 5 days. Longer routes to Western Canada or Eastern Canada naturally require more travel time. London's access to the 401 and 402 helps drivers maintain predictable schedules, although weather, regional traffic, and distance all influence final timelines.

How much does it cost to ship a car from London?

The cost depends on distance, vehicle size, delivery preferences, and current transport demand.

Ontario routes tend to be more cost effective, especially when drivers frequently travel through London. National routes or U.S. bound trips may carry higher pricing due to fuel, distance, and additional logistics. Providing accurate vehicle details and flexible scheduling helps secure the most competitive quote.

Is my vehicle insured during transport?

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured for the entire transport process.

Insurance covers damage that may occur during loading, transit, or unloading. Before the driver departs, a condition report is completed to verify the state of your vehicle. Customers should remove personal items and ensure the vehicle is clean so the inspection can be completed clearly and accurately.

Can I ship a non running vehicle from London?

Yes, non running vehicles can be shipped with proper planning and preparation.

Drivers need to know in advance if the vehicle is inoperable so they can bring the right equipment, such as a winch or dollies. Additional fees may apply depending on the level of effort required. If the vehicle can still roll, steer, and brake, loading usually proceeds more quickly and efficiently.

Can I leave personal belongings inside the vehicle?

It is recommended that you remove all personal items before transport.

Items left inside the vehicle are not covered by insurance and may shift during travel. If a few small items must remain, they should be securely stored in the trunk and kept under 100 pounds. Keeping the vehicle empty also helps the driver complete a clear inspection at both pickup and delivery.

Do I need to be present when the driver picks up or drops off my vehicle?

Yes, you or an authorized representative should be present for both parts of the process.

A designated adult must provide keys and sign the inspection report. If you cannot be available, assigning a trusted representative ensures the shipment stays on schedule. This step protects both you and the driver by confirming the vehicle's condition at each stage.

Is door to door service available in London?

Yes, door to door pickup and delivery is available in most London neighborhoods.

However, some residential streets may be too narrow or congested for transport trucks. In these cases, a nearby open area is selected as a safe meeting point. Most customers find these locations convenient and easy to access, ensuring a smooth handoff without delays.

What preparation is required before shipping my vehicle?

Customers should prepare their vehicle by cleaning it, removing belongings, and ensuring it is in good working condition.

Keep fuel at about one quarter of a tank, check that the battery is charged, and verify that the tires are properly inflated. Remove or secure aftermarket accessories. Proper preparation helps ensure a clear inspection, safer loading, and a smoother transport experience.

What destinations are most common for London vehicle shipping?

Frequent destinations include the GTA, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, Ottawa, Windsor, and major cities across Canada.

Longer national routes connect London to Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Montreal. Cross border transport is also common due to London's proximity to the Michigan border via Highway 402. These established routes help drivers operate efficiently and allow customers to choose from flexible scheduling options.

Does weather affect vehicle shipping timelines in London?

Yes, weather conditions can impact scheduling and delivery times.

Winter storms, heavy rain, fog, or icy conditions across Ontario or national routes may require drivers to adjust travel speeds for safety. While London enjoys strong road access, long distance travel conditions vary by region. Booking early during winter months helps improve flexibility and reduce delays.

How early should I book my London car shipment?

Booking 1 to 2 weeks in advance is recommended for ideal timing and availability.

Peak seasons such as summer relocations, back to school periods, and snowbird travel can increase demand. Early booking ensures you secure your preferred pickup window and helps avoid potential last minute rate changes. Planning ahead contributes to a smoother and more predictable transport process.
