How to Move a Car with MVS Canada
Moving your vehicle alongside the rest of your household doesn’t have to add extra stress. Here’s how the process works:
- Request a free quote. Fill out our online form or call us, and let us know your moving dates.
- Book your shipment. An MVS Canada agent will confirm pickup and delivery details around your move.
- Prepare your car. Most carriers ask you to remove personal belongings before pickup, so pack anything valuable with your regular moving boxes instead.
- Choose your service. Have your car picked up at your old address, or drop it off at one of our terminals — whichever fits your moving day best.
- Track your shipment. Follow your vehicle’s progress online as it travels to your new home.
- Receive your car. Pick it up at the destination terminal, or let our driver bring it right to your new address.
Door-to-Door Pickup and Delivery
Our driver picks up your car at your old address and delivers it right to your new one, so you don’t have to arrange a detour on moving day.
Terminal-to-Terminal Service
Drop your car off and collect it at one of our terminals in major cities across Canada. This can be a more budget-friendly option if you’re comfortable adjusting your own schedule.
What Affects the Cost and Timing of Moving a Car
Every move is different. Distance, the type of vehicle, the transport method you choose, and whether you go door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal all play a role in price and scheduling. Booking early is especially helpful if your moving date is fixed, since it gives us more flexibility to match your car with the right carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving a Car
How do I move a car when I’m relocating to another province?
Start by requesting a free quote and letting us know your moving dates. One of our agents will match your vehicle with a licensed, insured carrier and confirm pickup and delivery details around your move, whether it’s door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal.
Can I leave personal belongings in my car during the move?
Most carriers ask that personal items be removed before pickup, since extra weight and loose items can be a safety concern during transport. Pack anything you need for your first few days with your regular moving boxes instead, and check with your agent if you have questions.
How far in advance should I book my car for a move?
It’s a good idea to book as soon as you know your moving dates, especially during busy relocation seasons. Booking early gives us more flexibility to match your vehicle with the right carrier and route for your timeline, so we can plan the move around your schedule.
Is my car insured while it’s being moved?
Yes. Every shipment with MVS Canada includes transport insurance, and your vehicle travels with a licensed and insured carrier from our network. You can learn more about our insurance and licensing before you book, so you can move with confidence.
Can MVS Canada move a car across the country?
Yes. We provide coast-to-coast car shipping across Canada, with terminals in major cities and door-to-door service available in most areas. Whatever province you’re headed to, we can help plan the move around your schedule, no matter how far you’re going.
What’s the difference between door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal service?
Door-to-door service has a driver pick up and deliver your car directly to your old and new addresses. Terminal-to-terminal service means dropping off and collecting your vehicle at one of our terminals, which can be a more flexible, budget-friendly option.
