The Burnaby to Markham corridor draws a wide range of customers. Families relocating for work in the Greater Toronto Area ship their vehicles rather than drive nearly 4,500 kilometres. Dealerships move inventory between BC and Ontario regularly. Corporate transferees, online vehicle buyers, and snowbirds returning east in spring all rely on Interlane to handle this route end-to-end — from booking through final delivery.
The journey crosses four provinces and covers some of the most varied terrain in North America. Leaving Burnaby, carriers head east through the Fraser Valley before climbing into the Coast Mountains and transitioning to the Coquihalla or Trans-Canada through the Fraser Canyon. The route moves through the Rockies via Rogers Pass or Kicking Horse Pass, descends into Alberta, and opens across the prairies through Calgary, Regina, and Winnipeg. Entering Ontario, carriers follow the Trans-Canada through the boreal corridor north of Lake Superior before arriving in Southern Ontario and into Markham via the 401.

When timing matters, express shipping prioritizes your vehicle at the front of the load and moves it through the Rockies, prairies, and Lake Superior corridor on an accelerated schedule. This is the right choice for corporate relocations with tight start dates or time-sensitive vehicle purchases that need to arrive in Markham quickly.
SUVs and trucks are common vehicles on this route, particularly for families relocating from BC to Ontario who rely on their larger vehicle at the destination. Open transport handles SUVs effectively across this corridor, though enclosed is worth considering during winter months when the Coquihalla and Rogers Pass sections can expose vehicles to road spray, salt, and debris.
Electric vehicles travelling this route benefit from careful loading and unloading given their weight distribution and lower ground clearance — details that matter especially when equipment is being operated on mountain grades coming out of the Rockies. Interlane's drivers are experienced with EV handling protocols, and the vehicle travels with full insurance across the entire BC-to-Ontario distance.
For high-value vehicles, enclosed transport on this route provides protection from the elements on a corridor that passes through some of Canada's harshest driving conditions — including mountain passes that see ice and snow well into spring and fall. Your vehicle travels inside a fully enclosed trailer from Burnaby to Markham, shielded from road debris, weather, and UV exposure across nearly 4,500 kilometres.
Classic and antique vehicles require enclosed transport on a long-haul route like this one, where the combination of mountain terrain, prairie crosswinds, and seasonal road conditions creates real exposure risk for vehicles with original paint and vulnerable components. Interlane secures antique vehicles with soft straps and enclosed protection for the full journey from Burnaby to Markham.
Open transport on this corridor is the most cost-effective way to move a standard vehicle coast-to-coast, and it's the same method used to move most vehicles across Canada every day. Interlane's open carriers are well-maintained and operated by experienced drivers who know this cross-country route, giving you reliable transport at a competitive price point without cutting corners on coverage or communication.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Burnaby to Markham?
The cost of shipping a vehicle on this cross-country corridor typically ranges from $1,972 to $5,242 depending on the service type and time of year. Open transport is the more affordable option, while enclosed transport carries a higher price due to the added protection it provides across mountain and winter conditions. Rates can also shift seasonally — spring and summer tend to see higher demand on the BC-to-Ontario route, while fall and winter may offer more flexibility on pricing.
How long does it take to ship a car from Burnaby to Markham?
Transit on this route takes approximately 10 business days from pickup in Burnaby to delivery in Markham. The distance covers close to 4,500 kilometres through four provinces, including mountain passes in BC and Alberta and the remote Lake Superior corridor in Northern Ontario — all of which can influence timing depending on the season. Winter weather through the Rockies or along the Trans-Canada north of Superior occasionally adds a day or two to transit, which our team accounts for in scheduling.
Is my vehicle insured during transport from Burnaby to Markham?
Yes — your vehicle is covered by cargo insurance from the moment it's loaded in Burnaby to the moment it's delivered in Markham. Interlane carries full carrier liability coverage across the entire route, so you're protected whether the vehicle is moving through the Rockies, crossing the prairies, or sitting staged for delivery in the GTA. A vehicle inspection report is completed at pickup and at delivery so any pre-existing condition is clearly documented.
Can I leave personal belongings in my car during shipping?
We strongly recommend removing all personal belongings before your vehicle is picked up in Burnaby. Personal items are not covered under cargo insurance during transport, and loose objects can shift during the elevation changes and varied road conditions on this cross-country route. Keeping the vehicle clear also ensures accurate vehicle inspection documentation at both ends of the journey.
Is enclosed transport available for the Burnaby to Markham route?
Yes, enclosed transport is fully available on this corridor and is a smart choice for luxury vehicles, classics, EVs, or any vehicle you want shielded from the elements across nearly 4,500 kilometres. This route passes through the Coquihalla, Rogers Pass, and the prairies — all environments where road debris, salt spray, and weather exposure are real factors, particularly outside of summer. If your vehicle has significant financial or sentimental value, enclosed transport gives you the highest level of protection from Burnaby to Markham.
