When timing is critical — a federal job start date in Ottawa, a dealership transfer with a firm deadline — express shipping prioritizes your vehicle's loading and departure out of London without holding it to fill a trailer. Getting your vehicle moving fast makes a measurable difference on this route.
Larger SUVs and three-row vehicles require specific positioning on a multi-car carrier, and on a highway corridor that sees heavy commercial traffic through the 401, proper load balance matters. Interlane carries SUVs of all sizes between London and Ottawa regularly.
Electric vehicles require careful attention to battery charge levels at pickup — EVs should arrive with a partial charge, not full, to meet safe transport standards. With Ottawa emerging as a significant EV adoption market, shipping rather than driving is often the smarter call for range management on this route.
Enclosed transport is the standard for luxury vehicles on this corridor, keeping your vehicle shielded from road salt spray and debris that's common on the 401 through winter and shoulder seasons.
Antique and classic vehicles need enclosed carriers with soft-tie securing systems — open transport on a highway like the 401, with its heavy truck traffic and year-round road grime, introduces unnecessary risk for vehicles with irreplaceable finishes.
Open transport on this corridor is reliable, well-suited to the route, and the most cost-effective way to move a standard passenger car between London and Ottawa. The 401 and 417 are established, well-maintained corridors where open-carrier transport performs consistently.

How much does it cost to ship a car from London to Ottawa?
The cost of shipping a vehicle from London to Ottawa typically ranges from $497 to $2,273, depending on the service type, vehicle size, and time of year. Enclosed transport for luxury or antique vehicles runs higher than open carrier shipping for standard cars. Demand also tends to rise in late spring and summer as more families time moves around school schedules, which can affect pricing during peak months.
How long does it take to ship a car from London to Ottawa?
Transit on this route typically takes approximately 5 business days from confirmed pickup to delivery. The London to Ottawa corridor is entirely within Ontario and follows established major highways — the 401 and 417 — which keeps routing efficient. Winter weather between November and March can introduce variability, particularly through the GTA and along the eastern Ontario stretch approaching Ottawa.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes — every vehicle Interlane transports is fully insured from the point of pickup in London through to delivery in Ottawa. A vehicle condition inspection is completed and documented before loading, giving you a clear record of your car's state at the start of the shipment.
Can I leave personal belongings in my car during shipping?
We recommend removing personal items from your vehicle before pickup. Belongings left inside the car are not covered under transport insurance, which is specific to the vehicle itself. Loose items can also shift during loading and unloading, creating a risk of interior damage.
Is enclosed transport available for this route?
Yes, enclosed transport is available on the London to Ottawa corridor and is the right choice for luxury vehicles, classic and antique cars, EVs with sensitive exterior finishes, or any vehicle where protecting the paint and body from road debris and winter salt is a priority.
