This corridor connects BC's Okanagan Interior to Metro Vancouver, and it draws a steady mix of shippers — families relocating from Kelowna to the Lower Mainland for work, dealerships moving inventory between Interior lots and Vancouver-area buyers, corporate transferees, and private buyers who've purchased a vehicle online and need it delivered to their door in Burnaby. Interlane handles the entire move in-house, from pickup to delivery, without outsourcing to third parties.
The drive from Kelowna to Burnaby covers roughly 400 kilometres through some of BC's most demanding terrain. Vehicles typically travel south through the Okanagan on Highway 97 before connecting to the Coquihalla Highway near Merritt — a high-elevation mountain corridor that climbs past Coquihalla Summit at over 1,200 metres and descends into the Fraser Valley through Hope. From Hope, the route follows the Trans-Canada west through Chilliwack and Abbotsford before entering the Greater Vancouver metro and arriving in Burnaby.

When your timeline is tight — a job start date, a dealership deadline, or a vehicle purchase that needs to move fast — express shipping prioritizes your vehicle for the earliest available departure from Kelowna. Given the Coquihalla's variable conditions, we stay ahead of weather forecasts to keep express shipments on schedule through the mountain corridor.
SUVs and trucks are common on this route, often moved by families relocating from the Okanagan to Metro Vancouver with a second vehicle in tow. We use transport equipment configured for the weight and height of larger SUVs, and the route through the Coquihalla — with its steep grades and tight descents — is well within our operational standard.
Electric vehicles require careful handling during loading and unloading to protect their undercarriage and battery systems, which sit low to the ground. The elevation changes across the Coquihalla Summit and down into the Fraser Valley are exactly the kind of terrain where ramp angles matter — our equipment accommodates EVs properly at both ends of the route.
For high-value vehicles — whether a European import heading to a Burnaby buyer or a luxury sedan being relocated from an Okanagan estate — enclosed transport on this corridor keeps your vehicle shielded from gravel, road spray, and the weather exposure that comes with crossing the Coquihalla. We treat every luxury shipment as a precision move, not routine freight.
Antique and classic vehicles have no tolerance for the road debris and salt spray that can accumulate on BC's mountain highways, particularly in shoulder seasons when maintenance crews are actively treating the Coquihalla. Enclosed transport keeps a vintage vehicle completely isolated from the elements from the moment it leaves Kelowna to delivery in Burnaby.
Open transport on this Interior-to-coast route is a practical, well-proven option for standard vehicles — the majority of cars shipped across BC travel this way without issue when conditions are clear. Booking with flexible pickup timing can reduce your cost further, making it an efficient choice for online vehicle buyers and families watching their relocation budget.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Kelowna to Burnaby?
The cost of shipping a vehicle on this route typically ranges from $996 to $2,849 CAD depending on the service type, vehicle size, and time of year. Open transport is the more affordable option, while enclosed shipping for luxury or classic vehicles carries a higher rate. Seasonal demand — particularly in summer when Okanagan-to-Vancouver moves peak — can also affect pricing, so booking in advance helps lock in better rates.
How long does it take to ship a car from Kelowna to Burnaby?
Transit on this route takes approximately 6 business days under normal conditions. The Kelowna to Burnaby corridor is relatively compact within BC, but Coquihalla Highway closures or significant snowfall events in fall and winter can add time to the schedule. We communicate proactively if conditions on the route affect your delivery window.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes — your vehicle is fully insured from the moment it's loaded in Kelowna through to delivery at your Burnaby address. Interlane's coverage is active throughout the entire transit, including the mountain crossing and urban delivery leg. Before pickup, we conduct a condition inspection and document your vehicle's state so everything is on record.
Can I leave personal belongings in my car during shipping?
We recommend removing all personal belongings from your vehicle before transport. Items left inside are not covered under the transport insurance policy and can shift during the steep grades and turns on the Coquihalla, potentially causing interior damage. A clean, empty vehicle also moves through inspection and handoff more quickly at both ends of the route.
Is enclosed transport available for this route?
Yes, enclosed transport is available for the Kelowna to Burnaby corridor and is the right choice for luxury vehicles, classics, EVs with low ground clearance, or any car where paint and finish protection matters. The Coquihalla Highway and the descent through Hope can expose vehicles on open carriers to gravel and road spray, which makes enclosed shipping a worthwhile investment for higher-value cars.
