Manitoba Car Shipping

Winnipeg has the most affordable housing of any major city in Canada. That brings newcomers to the country, families posted to CFB Shilo, and students at the University of Manitoba. Getting a vehicle to Winnipeg or Brandon, or out of either one, is what our car shipping services are for.

Flexible Solutions

Moving a Car In or Out of Manitoba?

Here’s what to know before you book.

Shipping Your Car to Manitoba

Your car is collected at your old address and delivered to your new one, or you can drop it at Oakbank, about 25 km east of downtown Winnipeg. From Brandon that is a 240 km drive, so most people there choose a home pickup.

Inbound vehicle transport usually rides on a truck that is already crossing the country, which is why these bookings tend to be confirmed quickly. Brandon adds a day or so, since it sits well west of the drop-off point. Nearly all of this is personal car transport: one vehicle, one owner, one address at each end.

Shipping Your Car Out of Manitoba

Moving east or west from Winnipeg is straightforward in either direction, and short-notice bookings tend to work out better here than in most provinces.

Give the car a wash before pickup so you can see the paintwork, take a few photos, and leave roughly a quarter tank of fuel. That is all the preparation a standard move needs. If the vehicle is a collector car or high-value, ask about enclosed auto transport rather than open transport.

Seasonal Guide

Best Time to Book Vehicle Transport Services in Manitoba

From Winnipeg to Brandon along the Trans-Canada, our drivers know Manitoba's roads in every season.

April to June
An easy, reliable window in both directions, with rates below the summer peak.
September to December
Good conditions and quieter scheduling. Get the car winter-ready as soon as it lands rather than waiting for the first cold snap.
July to August
The busiest months and the widest choice of carriers. About two weeks' notice gets you the date you want.
January to March
Quiet, well priced and easy to book at short notice. It is cold enough that a blizzard can close Highway 1 for a day, so leave a little slack.

Manitoba Car Shipping FAQs

How much does Manitoba car shipping cost?

As of 2026, average Manitoba car shipping costs run from about $1,450 for Brandon to Toronto to roughly $1,650 for Winnipeg to Ottawa. Inbound is often cheaper, with Edmonton to Winnipeg averaging $950, because carriers are passing through anyway.

How long does it take to ship a car to Winnipeg?

As per Q2 2026 data, 10 to 14 days from Toronto and 14 to 20 days from Vancouver. Brandon runs on the same timelines.

Do I buy insurance and plates separately?

No. Manitoba bundles basic coverage with your registration through Autopac, so both are done in one visit.

Do you move auction and salvage vehicles as well as running cars?

Yes. Auction vehicle transport and salvage car transport both run on the same routes as regular shipments. Non-running vehicles need winch-equipped equipment, so mention it at booking.
