The ferry crossing adds real transit time no mainland route has. North Sydney to Port aux Basques takes about seven hours, then another nine hours across the island to St. John's. A seasonal alternative to Argentia runs closer to the city but only in summer.

"I shipped my car from Halifax to Edmonton and had a great experience. Dylan and Clayton were always quick to get back to me, and they do not require payment until the keys are handed back. This is the only company I found that also allowed personal items in the car." Deidre Alyward

Newfoundland Auto Insurance
Newfoundland and Labrador requires new residents to register their vehicle within 90 days of arrival, with insurance from a private insurer. Vehicles driven on the province's highways must carry at least $200,000 in Section A third-party liability coverage. As the capital, St. John's sees steady government and Memorial University relocations, with vehicles arriving via the ferry crossing.
Ferry Arrival Logistics
Your shipped vehicle arrives on the island by Marine Atlantic ferry from North Sydney, Nova Scotia. Via Port aux Basques, the carrier still has a nine-hour drive across the island to St. John's; the seasonal Argentia ferry lands closer to the city. The carrier manages all ferry logistics, but Atlantic weather delays are possible.
Winter Driving on the Island
St. John's gets more snow than almost any Canadian city. Storms are frequent and intense from December through March. If your vehicle arrives without winter tires, get them installed before driving. The city's steep hills and narrow streets become dangerous in snow and ice. A good set of winter tires is not optional here.
