Shipping your car means having it transported by a professional carrier instead of driving it yourself. A licensed transport driver loads your vehicle onto a carrier, moves it to your destination, and delivers it in the same condition it was picked up.
People ship their cars for all kinds of reasons. Relocating to a new province, buying a vehicle from out of market, heading south for the winter, or simply avoiding a long and tiring drive are all common situations where car shipping makes practical sense. Whatever your reason, the process is straightforward and designed to take the logistics off your plate entirely.

For shorter trips, driving makes sense. For long-distance moves across multiple provinces or into the United States, the math often shifts.

Open transport is the standard choice for most car shipments across Canada. If you are shipping a luxury or high-value vehicle, enclosed car transport provides a higher level of protection for vehicles that warrant it.
We handle car shipping across Canada and cross-border shipments between Canada and the United States. Whether you need to ship your car within a single province or move it from one coast to the other, our network covers the full range of domestic Canadian routes.
For shipments heading into the US, we manage cross-border car shipping including the documentation and logistics that come with an international move.

How much does it cost to ship my car in Canada?
The cost to ship your car depends on several factors: the distance between pickup and delivery, the size and type of your vehicle, whether you choose open or enclosed transport, and the time of year you book. Shorter provincial routes are considerably less expensive than coast-to-coast moves. Demand also plays a role, with peak periods like summer and the snowbird season in late fall typically carrying higher rates than off-peak months. The most accurate way to find out what it will cost to ship your car is to use our live quote tool, which prices your specific route and vehicle in real time.
How long does it take to ship a car across Canada?
Transit times depend on the length and complexity of your route. A short move within a single province may take just a day or two, while a cross-country shipment such as Toronto to Vancouver typically takes between five and ten business days under normal conditions. Winter weather, mountain pass closures, and high-demand seasons can all extend delivery windows. When you book, your confirmation will include an estimated delivery window based on your specific route and pickup date.
Do I have to be present when my car is picked up or delivered?
Someone does need to be available at both ends of the shipment to hand over the vehicle at pickup and receive it at delivery. This does not have to be you personally. A trusted friend, family member, or building manager can handle the handover on your behalf, as long as they can sign off on the condition report.
Can I ship my car if I do not know my exact delivery address yet?
Yes. If your destination address is not confirmed at the time of booking, terminal-to-terminal delivery is a practical option. Your vehicle is delivered to a nearby terminal where you can collect it once you are ready. This works well for moves where you are still finalizing your living arrangements.
Is my car insured when I ship it?
All shipments include standard carrier liability coverage. Your vehicle is covered for the duration of transport. If you have a higher-value car and want to understand the exact scope of coverage before booking, our team can walk you through the details.
What do I need to do to prepare my car for shipping?
Remove all personal items from the interior and trunk, as these are not covered by carrier liability. Bring the fuel level to approximately a quarter of a tank. Disable or remove any toll transponders, parking passes, or alarm systems that could be triggered during transport. Take clear photos of all sides of the vehicle before pickup so you have a reference point if you ever need to reference the condition report.
