Frequently Asked Canadian Auto Shipping Questions

Q. How do Canadian Auto Shippers move there vehicles around Canada?

Canadian Auto Shippers ship vehicles across the country. They have three main modes of transportation; trucks (open/enclosed), trains and container ships. The trucks and train service travel through most of the country but are unable to access Newfoundland, which is why there is a boat service. Now here’s a brief description of each.

Shipping your automobile by an open transport truck is one of the most common mode of transportation chosen by Canadian Auto Shippers and also American Auto Shipping Companies. Unlike the trains, these trucks can almost travel anywhere within Canada and USA. Enclosed trucks are more expensive than an open trailer to ship your vehicle on because they have less space available. People find this service especially useful when they are shipping vintage, antique, or exotic cars.

If you live in Newfoundland there are regular container ships that depart from Halifax and Montreal that can move your vehicle to or from Cornerbrook or St. John’s. From the terminals in Halifax and Montreal your vehicle can be put onto a truck or railcar and continue to its destination.

Canada’s rail system is a very effective way to ship your vehicle. The railway which runs from coast to coast makes stops in Halifax, Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver to pick up and offload vehicles. Canadian Auto Shippers ensure that while your vehicle is being moved by train it will be safely secured inside an enclosed railcar. Truck, train and container ships are all effective methods for transporting your vehicles across Canada.
