The New York to Toronto corridor is one of the busiest cross-border vehicle transport routes in North America, and Interlane moves a wide range of vehicles along it regularly. Relocating families moving from the New York metro area to the Greater Toronto Area ship their personal vehicles rather than drive through border congestion. Corporate transferees relocating between Manhattan and Toronto's financial district rely on door-to-door service to simplify a complex move. Dealerships move pre-owned inventory across the border to meet Canadian market demand, and private buyers who purchase vehicles through US auctions or online platforms ship their purchase directly to their Toronto address. Interlane manages every shipment from origin to delivery, handling all the logistics in between.
From New York, the route heads north through New York State, typically running along I-87 — the Adirondack Northway — past Albany and through the Champlain Valley toward the Canadian border, or alternatively tracking west along I-90 through Buffalo and crossing at the Peace Bridge into Fort Erie, Ontario. The Buffalo–Fort Erie crossing is the most commonly used entry point on this corridor and handles substantial commercial volume daily. From there, the route continues west along the Queen Elizabeth Way into the Greater Toronto Area. The terrain transitions from dense urban New York infrastructure through the rolling hills of upstate New York into the flat agricultural landscape of southern Ontario. Border wait times can vary significantly depending on time of day and season, and Interlane manages all customs documentation on both the US and Canadian sides. All pricing is provided in CAD with no hidden fees, and every vehicle is covered by full insurance from the moment it is picked up in New York through to delivery at the Toronto destination address.

All New York to Toronto vehicle shipments are completed door-to-door. There are no terminal drop-off or pickup options available on this cross-border route — your vehicle is collected directly from your New York location and delivered to your Toronto address without requiring you to visit any intermediate facility.
For time-sensitive cross-border moves, express shipping prioritises your vehicle's position on the New York to Toronto run and minimises dwell time at the border crossing. This service is well suited to corporate transfers and dealership inventory moves where delivery timing is tied to a firm schedule.
Enclosed transport on this corridor protects your vehicle from road salt spray on I-90 through Buffalo, winter precipitation during peak season, and debris exposure on the QEW into Toronto. Your vehicle rides in a fully covered carrier from pickup in New York to delivery at your Toronto address.
Full-size SUVs and three-row family vehicles are a common shipment type on this corridor, particularly for families relocating from the New York suburbs to the GTA. Our equipment accommodates the height and weight profile of large SUVs without modification to your booking or delivery process.
Electric vehicles require careful load positioning and secure tie-down practices to avoid any contact with undercarriage components — particularly important on a run that includes border crossing stops and variable road surfaces on the approach to Toronto. We ship EVs on this corridor in both open and enclosed configurations depending on the vehicle's value and your preference.
Luxury vehicles crossing from New York into Canada are shipped in enclosed carriers to protect exterior finishes and low-clearance body kits from highway debris and the salt-treated roads common in winter on the southern Ontario stretch of the QEW. Each shipment includes full insurance coverage and delivery direct to your Toronto address.
Antique and classic vehicles often require specific customs documentation at the Canadian border related to vehicle age and import classification — Interlane prepares the appropriate paperwork for your vehicle before it reaches the Buffalo–Fort Erie crossing. Enclosed transport is strongly recommended for antique vehicles on this route to guard against weather exposure and road debris across upstate New York and southern Ontario.

How much does it cost to ship a car from New York to Toronto?
The cost of shipping a vehicle from New York to Toronto typically ranges from $2,035 to $6,599 CAD, depending on the service type and time of booking. Open transport is the more economical option, while enclosed transport carries a higher rate due to the added protection and specialised equipment involved. Seasonal demand — particularly in spring and early fall when corporate relocations and cross-border vehicle purchases peak — can influence pricing, so booking in advance is recommended to secure the best available rate.
How long does it take to ship a car from New York to Toronto?
Transit on the New York to Toronto corridor takes approximately 5 days from pickup to delivery under normal conditions. The Buffalo–Fort Erie border crossing is a well-established commercial port of entry and typically processes shipments without significant delays, though wait times can increase during high-volume periods or when enhanced inspections are in effect. Scheduling your shipment outside of peak holiday travel windows generally results in the most predictable transit timeline.
Is my vehicle insured during cross-border transport?
Yes — your vehicle is covered by full insurance from the moment it is loaded in New York through the border crossing at Buffalo–Fort Erie and all the way to delivery at your Toronto address. Coverage applies across the entire journey, including any time your vehicle is stationary during customs processing at the US–Canada border. You will receive documentation confirming your coverage details at the time of booking.
Does Interlane handle the customs paperwork for cross-border shipping?
Interlane manages all customs documentation and import/export paperwork on both the Canadian and US sides of the border — you do not need to file anything separately or coordinate with customs agencies directly. Our team prepares the required CBSA import documentation and US export records in advance of the shipment reaching the border, which helps keep the crossing process smooth. All you need to provide at booking is standard vehicle information such as the title, VIN, and proof of ownership.
Can Canadian snowbirds use this route to ship their vehicle for seasonal travel?
While this specific route runs from New York to Toronto rather than to a US sunbelt destination, Toronto-based snowbirds frequently use the reverse corridor — shipping their vehicle south through New York to Florida or other warm-weather states — and Interlane operates in both directions. For southbound winter shipments, peak booking demand occurs in October and November, and spring return shipments from Florida or the southeast back to Toronto fill up quickly in March and April. Booking four to six weeks ahead of your intended departure date during these windows is strongly recommended to secure your preferred pickup date.
