Quebec Car Shipping

People move to Quebec for McGill, for Laval, or for rent that undercuts Toronto and Vancouver. Much of it happens in a single week, since leases across the province have traditionally turned over on July 1. If a vehicle has to make the move with you, our car shipping services will handle it.

Moving a Car In or Out of Quebec?

Here’s what to know before you book.

Shipping Your Car to Quebec

Shipping Your Car to Quebec

Your car is collected at your old address and delivered to your new one. If you are moving into Old Quebec or a narrow Montreal street, the driver will arrange a nearby meeting point instead, since a full transport truck cannot manage cobblestones or a closed street.

The last week of June is the busiest stretch for vehicle transport here, because the province moves all at once, so book several weeks ahead if your date falls there. Outside that window, Montreal and Quebec City are two of the quicker deliveries we handle. A single car moving with a household falls under personal vehicle shipping, the service most July moves use.

Shipping Your Car Out of Quebec

Shipping Your Car Out of Quebec

Moving west or to the Maritimes is quick and inexpensive. Going to the west coast takes longer than you might expect, at 14 to 21 days from Montreal, because the car crosses Ontario first.

Avoid the first week of July if you possibly can. If you are moving on July 1 like everyone else, book several weeks ahead. Classics, convertibles and anything with paintwork you care about travel by enclosed car transport instead of an open deck.

Seasonal Guide

Best Time to Book Vehicle Transport Services in Quebec

From Montreal's construction season to the July 1 rush, our drivers know when and how to move a car across Quebec.

  1. September to November

    Construction winds down, demand eases, and you are comfortably ahead of the December 1 winter tire deadline.

  2. April to June

    Good weather and plenty of capacity. Montreal's construction season starts, so check the city road work map before your delivery window.

  3. December to March

    Quieter and often cheaper, with more flexibility on dates. Budget for winter tires before registering, and allow for a storm to move a delivery by a day.

  4. July to August

    Peak season, with carriers running constantly. The week around July 1 is the tightest in the province, so book early or pick dates either side of it.

Quebec Car Shipping FAQs

How much does Quebec car shipping cost?

As of 2026, average Quebec car shipping costs range from about $250 for Laval to Ottawa up to roughly $2,650 for Quebec City to Vancouver. Short moves between Montreal and Ontario are the cheapest prices Automoves publishes.

Do I need winter tires the day my car arrives?

No. The rule applies to cars registered in Quebec between December 1 and March 15, so it affects you when you plate the car, not on delivery day.

Why does Montreal to Vancouver take longer than Toronto to Vancouver?

Your car crosses Ontario first. Montreal to Vancouver runs 14 to 21 days against 12 to 16 from Toronto.

Can you ship a non-running, auction or salvage vehicle?

Yes. Non-running vehicles need a winch-equipped carrier, so flag it when you book. Automoves handles auction vehicle transport from dealer auctions and salvage car transport for written-off and insurance vehicles, alongside regular shipments.
