Rail Transport
Moves your car inside a rail car built specifically for vehicles, though it isn’t available to every area.

Tow Truck Shipping
Your vehicle is towed directly by a tow truck, another option for shorter distances.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shipping a Car
How much does it cost to ship a car in Canada?
Cost depends on factors like distance, vehicle type, the transport method you choose, and whether you go door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal. Every shipment is different, so the most accurate way to find out is to request a free quote for your specific route.
What’s the difference between open and enclosed car shipping?
Open shipping moves your car on a carrier exposed to the weather, similar to how new vehicles reach dealerships. Enclosed shipping protects your car inside a covered trailer, which is a better fit for classic, luxury, or other high-value vehicles.
Is my vehicle insured while it’s being shipped?
Yes. Every shipment with MVS Canada includes transport insurance, and your car 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 ship with peace of mind.
Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?
Someone needs to be available to hand off the keys and sign for the vehicle at both ends, whether that’s you or someone you authorize. Your MVS Canada agent will confirm the details when you book your shipment, well before pickup day.
Can I choose door-to-door delivery, or does my car have to go to a terminal?
Both options are available. Door-to-door service has a driver pick up and deliver your car directly to your chosen address, while terminal-to-terminal service means dropping off and collecting your vehicle at one of our terminals in major cities across Canada.
Is MVS Canada a licensed and trustworthy car shipping company?
Yes. We’re a licensed and insured Canada-wide shipping company, a Better Business Bureau A+ rated member, and a Halifax Chamber of Commerce member. You can find more answers on our frequently asked questions page before you book your shipment with us.
