The Montreal to Burnaby corridor draws a wide range of shippers — families relocating for work in Metro Vancouver, dealerships moving inventory between eastern and western markets, corporate transferees, online vehicle buyers closing deals across provinces, and snowbirds repositioning vehicles seasonally between climates. Interlane handles the full movement: pickup, transit, and doorstep delivery in Burnaby, with no brokers or third-party carriers involved at any stage.
This is one of Canada\'s longest and most geographically demanding transport corridors, spanning roughly 4,500 kilometres across five provinces. Carriers depart Montreal via Highway 401 through Ontario, passing through Kingston, Toronto, and the Great Lakes corridor before crossing into the Canadian Shield north of Lake Superior. From Thunder Bay, the route continues west through Winnipeg on the Trans-Canada Highway, then across the open prairie through Regina and Swift Current before reaching Calgary. From there, the Rocky Mountains begin — the Trans-Canada climbs through Banff National Park, navigates the Kicking Horse Pass, and then pushes through Rogers Pass in the Selkirk Mountains before descending into the Fraser Valley via the Coquihalla Highway or Highway 1, ultimately delivering into Burnaby. Weather is a real factor on this run — winter conditions in the Rockies and mountain passes require careful scheduling and carrier experience. Interlane prices are transparent upfront, and every shipment is fully insured from pickup to delivery.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Montreal to Burnaby?
The cost of shipping a vehicle from Montreal to Burnaby typically ranges from $2,399 to $5,899 CAD, depending on your vehicle type, chosen service level, and the time of year. Open transport is the more affordable option, while enclosed transport for luxury, EV, or antique vehicles runs higher. Seasonal factors like winter mountain pass conditions and peak demand periods can also influence pricing on this corridor.
How long does it take to ship a car from Montreal to Burnaby?
Transit on the Montreal to Burnaby corridor takes approximately 10 business days under normal conditions. This route crosses over 4,500 kilometres through Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, and winter weather — particularly through the Rockies and Rogers Pass — can add time depending on road and pass conditions at the time of your shipment. Interlane provides tracking so you're never left guessing where your vehicle is along the way.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes — your vehicle is fully insured from the moment it's picked up in Montreal to the moment it's delivered in Burnaby. Interlane conducts a detailed condition inspection at both pickup and delivery so any discrepancy is documented and backed by coverage. You receive peace of mind for the entire coast-to-coast journey, not just portions of it.
Can I pack personal belongings in my car during shipping?
We strongly recommend removing all personal belongings from your vehicle before it's loaded in Montreal. Items left inside are not covered under transport insurance and can shift during the long transit — particularly through the mountain descents and switchback grades between Banff and the Fraser Valley — potentially causing interior damage. Keeping the vehicle empty also helps ensure smooth border paperwork if your route involves any cross-border segments.
Is enclosed transport available from Montreal to Burnaby?
Yes, enclosed transport is fully available on the Montreal to Burnaby corridor and is the recommended option for luxury vehicles, electric vehicles, antiques, and collector cars. The route passes through some of Canada's harshest transport environments — sub-zero prairie winters, road debris through the Canadian Shield, and gravel and moisture through the Rocky Mountain and Selkirk passes — all of which enclosed carriers protect your vehicle from completely. If your vehicle has significant monetary or sentimental value, enclosed is the right call for this run.
