BC to Yukon Territory Shipping Information
Most shipments to the Yukon route through Alberta. Our main British Columbia terminal for this route is in Richmond, and vehicles typically travel by open car carrier to a terminal in Edmonton before continuing on to Watson Lake and Whitehorse. In some cases, your vehicle may ship directly from our Delta terminal to Whitehorse instead. We currently service only the highway towns along the route to Whitehorse, and Whitehorse itself, within the Yukon.
We have terminals in Whitehorse, though storage fees may apply there; in most cases, our driver will call you directly to arrange meeting at a commercial location, like a dealership or truck stop, instead.
If your vehicle is picked up outside the Lower Mainland/Vancouver area, it may first travel to the Delta or Richmond terminal to wait for the next available truck, which adds a few days to the overall timeline.
When routed via Alberta, a vehicle typically travels like this:
Richmond, BC → Edmonton, AB → Whitehorse, YT
When shipped directly from Vancouver, a vehicle typically travels like this:
Delta, BC → Whitehorse, YT
Average shipping times are calculated from real recent shipments and are updated regularly — they’re a helpful guide, not a guarantee. Pickup and delivery in more remote areas can take longer than the route average.
How long does it take to ship my car from British Columbia to Yukon Territory?
Shipping times reflect real averages from recent shipments, not fixed guarantees. Departures aren’t on a set schedule — they depend on how many vehicles are already booked and waiting at each terminal. Booking 1–2 weeks ahead generally helps us stage your shipment closer to your preferred date. If you’re shipping by enclosed trailer, these general timelines may not apply the same way.
What’s the difference between wait time and transit time?
Wait time is how long your vehicle waits to depart, whether that’s after a door pickup is scheduled or once it’s dropped off at a terminal. Transit time is how long your vehicle spends actually moving between terminals once it’s on its way. Together, these make up your total shipping time for the route.
Will my car be shipped by multiple trucks?
Yes, in most cases. Your vehicle typically travels through a terminal in Edmonton on its way to Whitehorse, though some shipments route directly from our Delta terminal instead. Each hand-off can add a short wait before the next departure.
What can affect my shipping timeline?
A few things can affect your timeline: how far ahead you book, your vehicle’s size, and whether you choose door-to-door or terminal service. Winter weather, peak moving season, and statutory holidays can also extend wait or transit time. Explore our shipping options to see what fits your vehicle.
