This is one of BC's most active regional shipping corridors. Families relocating from the Lower Mainland to the Okanagan, dealerships moving inventory between Metro Vancouver and Kelowna lots, corporate transferees heading inland, and online vehicle buyers who purchased in the city but need delivery to the valley — Interlane handles all of it end-to-end with no third parties involved.
The route east from Burnaby runs through Metro Vancouver before climbing into the mountains via either the Coquihalla Highway or the Trans-Canada through the Fraser Canyon. The Coquihalla crosses the Coquihalla Summit at roughly 1,244 metres before descending into Merritt and connecting east to Kelowna via Highway 97C through the Okanagan Connector. The terrain shifts dramatically from coastal rainforest to dry interior plateau, and seasonal conditions — including snow at elevation, ice on the Connector, and fog in the Fraser Valley — are real factors in how we plan each run.

When timing matters — a fast dealership transfer, a same-week relocation, or a vehicle purchase with a tight deadline — our expedited service prioritizes your shipment on the Coquihalla corridor for the fastest available transit. This is especially valuable in spring and fall when conditions on the Connector can slow standard schedules and every day of flexibility counts.
Larger SUVs and trucks are loaded and secured with equipment sized for their weight and wheelbase, which matters on a route with significant elevation change and long descending grades on the Coquihalla. We move everything from mid-size crossovers to full-size three-row SUVs and pickup trucks along this corridor regularly.
Electric vehicles require careful loading to protect their undercarriage components and battery systems, and we avoid any practices that could stress those systems during the mountain crossing. The Burnaby-to-Kelowna run is popular among EV owners who prefer to ship rather than drain a battery pack climbing the Coquihalla Summit and over the Connector.
High-value vehicles on this route travel in enclosed carriers that protect the exterior from road debris, gravel spray, and the salt residue that accumulates on BC mountain highways during winter treatments. Whether it's a European sports car or a high-end performance sedan, enclosed transport keeps it shielded from the interior plateau's harsh UV exposure and highway conditions on the Connector.
Vintage and classic vehicles need enclosed protection on a route that crosses mountain terrain and exposes vehicles to debris and temperature swings between the coast and the dry Okanagan interior. We load antiques with soft straps and careful positioning to eliminate any movement during the elevation changes across the Coquihalla Summit.
Open transport on this corridor is a reliable, cost-effective option for most standard vehicles — the same drivers, the same route knowledge, and the same insurance coverage at a lower price point. If you're shipping a commuter vehicle, a second car, or a dealership unit and don't need enclosed protection, this is the most practical way to move it from Burnaby to Kelowna.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Burnaby to Kelowna?
The cost of shipping a vehicle on this route typically ranges from $996 to $2,850, depending on the transport type, vehicle size, and time of year. Enclosed transport costs more than open, and pricing can shift seasonally — winter shipments crossing the Coquihalla and Okanagan Connector may carry a premium due to elevated road conditions and longer transit planning. We provide a firm quote upfront so you know exactly what you're paying before you book.
How long does it take to ship a car from Burnaby to Kelowna?
Transit on this route takes approximately 6 business days under normal conditions, with the journey following the Coquihalla Highway east through the mountains and connecting to Kelowna via Highway 97C. Winter weather at the Coquihalla Summit or along the Okanagan Connector can occasionally affect timing, and we communicate proactively if conditions require any schedule adjustment. Expedited options are available if you need faster delivery.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes — your vehicle is covered by Interlane's cargo insurance from the moment it's loaded in Burnaby to the moment it's delivered in Kelowna. A condition report is completed at pickup so that the vehicle's pre-transport state is documented, and the same inspection happens at delivery. If anything changes in transit, the claim process is straightforward and supported by our team.
Can I leave personal belongings in my car during shipping?
We strongly recommend removing personal belongings before your vehicle is picked up in Burnaby. Items left inside the car are not covered under cargo insurance, and loose objects can shift during the elevation changes and curves on the Coquihalla and Connector routes. Lighter vehicles also load more cleanly and securely, which benefits the overall transport.
Is enclosed transport available for this route?
Enclosed transport is available on the Burnaby to Kelowna corridor and is the right choice for luxury vehicles, classics, EVs with exposed undercarriage components, and any car you want fully shielded from road spray, debris, and weather. The mountain highways on this route — particularly the Coquihalla in winter and the Okanagan Connector in late fall — make enclosed transport a worthwhile investment for higher-value vehicles.
