Transit times from Toronto to Halifax typically range from 8 to 14 days. The exact duration depends on the distance, the transport method chosen (open vs. enclosed), and time required for vehicle consolidation at transfer points across Ontario and Quebec. Routes from Western Canada—such as Vancouver to Halifax—will naturally take longer.

Yes. Your vehicle is protected by comprehensive carrier insurance throughout the entire shipment. We include standard liability and cargo coverage to protect against damage caused by carrier negligence. Full policy details and coverage limits are included in your booking confirmation.

Winter conditions across the Prairies and the Maritimes can extend delivery times due to weather delays. Summer and the snowbird seasons (Fall/Spring) are peak demand periods, which may increase pricing and require additional lead time when booking your shipment to or from Nova Scotia.

Costs vary based on distance, vehicle type, fuel prices, and service preference. Shipping a car from Montreal to Halifax costs significantly less than from Vancouver to Halifax.

Door-to-door service is our premium option, where the carrier picks up and delivers your vehicle as close as legally possible to your specified addresses. Terminal-to-terminal service requires dropping off and picking up the vehicle at designated terminals—typically near Halifax—and offers a lower cost and greater scheduling flexibility.

We strongly recommend against leaving personal items inside the vehicle, as they are not covered by carrier insurance. If items must be shipped, they should be limited to 100 lbs, stored securely in the trunk, declared beforehand, and understood to be transported entirely at your own risk.

Yes. We regularly provide transport services to Cape Breton Island, including destinations such as Sydney. However, due to distance and specific regional logistics, transit times may be slightly longer. For more remote locations, delivery may involve coordination with the nearest viable terminal.

Being present is ideal for completing the mandatory Bill of Lading (BOL) inspection. If you cannot be there, you may designate a representative over 18 years old. They must have a key and written authorization to sign the inspection report on your behalf.

Ensure the vehicle has no more than a quarter tank of fuel, is clean for accurate inspection, and that all loose exterior accessories (such as antennas or aftermarket attachments) are removed. Also ensure that all necessary documents—keys, registration, and identification—are readily available for the carrier.

Yes. We transport oversized vehicles, luxury cars, classic collector vehicles, and non-running units. Specialty moves may require enclosed transport or custom flatbed equipment. These needs should be specified during the quoting process to ensure the appropriate carrier is assigned.
