Explore our specialized vehicle transport options for every need.
When your timeline is tight — a job start date in Burnaby, a vehicle sale that needs to close, or a relocation with a hard move-in deadline — express shipping prioritizes your vehicle on the departure schedule. On a corridor that spans four provinces and over 4,400 kilometres, getting into the queue quickly makes a measurable difference to your delivery window.
SUVs and larger crossovers are among the most common vehicles on this route, particularly for families relocating from the Greater Toronto Area to Metro Vancouver. Our transport equipment accommodates full-size SUVs securely, and the long prairie and mountain sections require proper load positioning to handle variable grades and elevation changes.
Electric vehicles traveling from Ontario to BC are best shipped rather than driven — the charging infrastructure across the northern Trans-Canada through the Shield and parts of Saskatchewan remains sparse, making a 4,400-kilometre drive a logistical challenge for most EV owners. Interlane loads and secures EVs without engaging the drivetrain, preserving battery integrity throughout.
For high-value vehicles making the cross-country trip, enclosed transport eliminates exposure to gravel spray, road salt, and the significant debris risk on mountain highway segments like the Trans-Canada through Rogers Pass. Arriving in showroom condition matters whether you are delivering to a new home or a dealership lot.
Antique and classic vehicles require enclosed transport on this corridor without exception — the combination of prairie crosswinds, mountain road conditions, and salt-heavy environments around major transit hubs creates real exposure risk for vehicles with original paint, chrome, and bodywork.
Open transport remains the most cost-effective way to move a standard vehicle from Ontario to British Columbia, and on the long prairie sections that make up the middle third of this route, open carriers perform efficiently and reliably. If your vehicle is a daily driver and your priority is value over premium protection, open transport delivers solid results at the lowest rate available.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Markham to Burnaby?
The cost of shipping a vehicle on this cross-country corridor typically ranges from $2,039 to $5,158 depending on the service type and time of year. Open transport is the more affordable option, while enclosed service carries a premium that is often worth it for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles. Pricing also shifts seasonally — winter months introduce mountain weather variables that affect scheduling and cost, while spring and fall tend to offer more stable rates.
How long does it take to ship a car from Markham to Burnaby?
Transit on this corridor takes approximately 7 business days under normal conditions, covering over 4,400 kilometres across Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. Winter mountain weather — particularly through the Rockies and Rogers Pass — can extend transit times if conditions require adjusted pacing or temporary route holds. Interlane provides real-time tracking so you can follow your vehicle throughout the journey.
Is my vehicle insured during transport from Markham to Burnaby?
Yes — full insurance coverage is included from the moment your vehicle is picked up in Markham to the moment it is delivered in Burnaby, covering the entire corridor including mountain and urban segments. Before your vehicle is loaded, a condition report is completed so the state of your vehicle is documented on both ends of the shipment.
Can I leave personal belongings in my car during shipping?
We recommend removing personal belongings from your vehicle before transport — items left inside are not covered by transport insurance and can shift during the long cross-country haul, particularly on the mountain grades through the Rockies. Keeping the interior clear also speeds up the inspection process at both ends.
Is enclosed transport available for the Markham to Burnaby route?
Yes, enclosed transport is available on this corridor and is the right choice for luxury vehicles, antique or classic cars, EVs, and any vehicle where protecting the exterior finish from the elements is a priority. The Markham to Burnaby route passes through mountain terrain with loose gravel, road debris, and variable weather conditions — enclosed transport eliminates that exposure entirely.
