If you intend to live in Canada or you are just visiting for an extended period, you might need to bring your car along. Well, some people might consider driving their vehicles to the intended destination, Canada.  Others, for some reason, can’t drive the cars themselves and go for shipping companies to have their cars transported.

The cost to ship vehicle to Canada is higher as compared to driving the car yourself. However, it is worth it – it reduces your vehicle wear and tear, saves you time, and gives you some peace of mind since professionals are handling your car.

Before you can hire a professional to transport your vehicle, there’s the need also to understand how much it will cost to ship vehicle to Canada. Well, the cost might vary depending on different factors and what you need.

Costs will range from as low as $800 to several thousands of dollars depending on different factors such as the size of your vehicle, the distance to be covered, the value of your car and the shipping method to be used.

Is Your Vehicle an Import?

The first thing that you should ask yourself is whether your car will serve as an import or not.If you are a Canadian, or the vehicle is going to be in Canada for good, or it will serve as a daily ride, then that’s an import.

On the other hand, if you are only visiting, working as a foreigner, or going to study as a foreigner and on a temporary visa, then your car won’t be treated as an import. If your vehicle is an import, then you will need to pay some taxes and duties when the car is entering the country.

Oversize SUVs and luxury cars might also cost you more above the standard cost.

The Size of Your Vehicle

The cost to ship vehicle to Canada will also vary depending on the size of your car. For instance, SUVs and large trucks that won’t fit onto the standard space of a trailer will cost more to ship as compared to the traditional compact cars.

If you are looking to transport an oversize vehicle, make sure that you contact your transport company before shipping it.

The Shipping Method 

There are two ways a car can be shipped. It can either be transported in an open-air trailer or an enclosed trailer. An enclosed trailer is ideal for transporting smaller vehicles since it provides some protection. However, the method is more expensive as compared to the open-air method. The main reason why enclosed transport is costly is that only a few cars can be transported at a time.
