Moving a Car In or Out of Ontario?

Here’s what to know before you book.

Shipping Your Car to Ontario

If you are moving into a condo or a narrow downtown street, mention it when you book. Transport trucks cannot use underground parking and often cannot turn onto residential side streets, so the driver will arrange to meet you at a nearby lot or wide street instead. Sorting this out in advance saves a frustrating delivery day.

Almost everything arrives along the 401, and vehicle transport inside the GTA is scheduled around rush hour, because a loaded truck cannot sit on a city street. Northern deliveries take longer, since carriers run those roads less often. One family car, collected and delivered at your address, is personal car shipping.

Shipping Your Car Out of Ontario

Short moves out of Ontario are often cheaper than driving the car yourself. Kingston to Montreal averages $350 and Mississauga to Ottawa $400, which compares well against fuel, a night away and two days of your time.

Pickup windows usually fall mid-morning or mid-evening, because drivers avoid the 401 through the GTA at rush hour. If you need a tighter window, ask when you book rather than on the day. High-value and collector vehicles leaving the province usually move by enclosed vehicle transport for the extra protection.

Seasonal Guide

Best Time to Book Vehicle Transport Services in Ontario

From the 401 corridor to the long run north to Thunder Bay, our drivers know Ontario's roads in every season.

  1. September to December

    Predictable weather and steady availability, and the best stretch for northern Ontario before winter starts shifting dates.

  2. January to March

    The quietest and cheapest months, with short-notice bookings easier to get. Snow may add a day on a northern run.

  3. April to June

    Clear roads and strong availability as the season picks up. DriveON stations get busy, so book the inspection rather than walking in.

  4. July to August

    The busiest and best-served months, with the most trucks on the corridor. Late August fills first, so book two to three weeks out.

Ontario Car Shipping FAQs

How much does Ontario car shipping cost?

As of 2026, average Ontario car shipping costs range from about $350 for Kingston to Montreal up to roughly $3,100 for Thunder Bay to Halifax. Short runs inside the 401 corridor are the cheapest in the country; northern Ontario costs more because carriers run those routes less often.

Can the truck deliver to my condo?

Not to the building itself. The driver will meet you at a nearby accessible spot. Mention the building when you book so it is arranged in advance.

Do I need a Safety Standards Certificate?

Yes, if the car is coming from another province, before it can be plated. It comes from a licensed DriveON station and expires 36 days after it is issued.

Can Automoves collect a vehicle from an auction or a wreck yard?

Yes. Auction vehicle transport covers dealer and public auction pickups, and salvage car transport covers written-off and insurance vehicles. Tell us if the vehicle will not roll or steer so the right equipment is assigned.
