This corridor moves a steady mix of customers — families relocating from Quebec City to Markham\'s growing suburban communities, corporate transferees heading into the GTA, dealerships moving pre-owned inventory between Quebec and Ontario markets, and online vehicle buyers who\'ve purchased across provincial lines. Interlane manages every stage of the shipment directly, with no hand-offs or third-party involvement from the moment we pick up your vehicle to the moment it\'s delivered.
The drive from Quebec City to Markham covers roughly 800 kilometres, running west along Autoroute 20 through the St. Lawrence lowlands before crossing into Ontario near the Ontario-Quebec border at the Ottawa River corridor. From there, the route transitions onto Highway 417 through Ottawa and continues west on Highway 401 — one of the busiest freight and transport arteries in North America — through Kingston, Belleville, and Oshawa before reaching Markham on the northeastern edge of Toronto. The terrain is largely flat to gently rolling through the St. Lawrence Valley and the Great Lakes corridor, but winter conditions between December and March introduce real transport considerations: black ice on the 401 through eastern Ontario, lake-effect weather near the Kingston stretch, and winter storm systems that sweep across the Quebec lowlands. All shipments travel under full insurance coverage, and pricing is transparent with no surprise charges at delivery.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Quebec City to Markham?
The cost to ship a car on this route typically ranges from $1,273 to $2,519 CAD depending on the service type, vehicle size, and time of year. Open transport is the more affordable option, while enclosed service carries a premium that most owners of luxury, antique, or electric vehicles consider worthwhile. Shipping during peak snowbird season or in the lead-up to summer can affect pricing as carrier demand increases.
How long does it take to ship a car from Quebec City to Markham?
Transit on this route typically takes approximately 5 business days under standard scheduling, given the roughly 800-kilometre haul along Autoroute 20 and the 401. Winter weather — particularly freezing rain through eastern Ontario or snowstorms along the Quebec lowlands — can occasionally extend transit by a day, though the corridor's direct routing generally keeps timelines predictable. Express service is available if you need a tighter delivery window.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes — your vehicle is covered under full cargo insurance for the entire duration of the shipment, from the moment it's loaded in Quebec City to the moment it's delivered in Markham. Coverage applies continuously across both provinces with no gaps at the border crossing between Quebec and Ontario. Documentation of your vehicle's condition is recorded at pickup and again at delivery to support any claims process if needed.
Can I leave personal belongings in my car during shipping?
We strongly recommend removing all personal belongings from your vehicle before it's picked up in Quebec City. Personal items are not covered under cargo insurance during transport, and loose objects can shift in transit on highway runs, potentially causing interior damage to trim, seats, or electronics. A cleared interior also makes the pre-shipment condition inspection faster and more accurate for both parties.
Is enclosed transport available on the Quebec City to Markham route?
Yes, enclosed transport is available on this corridor and is the right choice for luxury vehicles, classic cars, EVs, or any vehicle you want shielded from highway debris and harsh winter road conditions. The 401 through eastern Ontario and the Quebec lowlands are heavily salted and sanded between November and April, making enclosed shipping a smart investment for vehicles with low ground clearance, original paint, or high resale value. Contact our team to confirm enclosed availability for your specific pickup dates.
