Vancouver to Kelowna Car Shipping

The Vancouver to Kelowna Route
The route covers roughly 390 kilometres. The route from Vancouver to Kelowna crosses the Coast and Cascade Mountains, typically via the Coquihalla Highway (Highway 5). This is one of the most heavily used mountain passes in BC. Winter tire and chain mandates apply from October 1 to April 30.

Open vs Enclosed Car Transport: Vancouver to Kelowna
Open transport is the standard and most affordable option. On a mountain route like Vancouver to Kelowna, your vehicle passes through terrain where road spray and gravel are more common on steep grades. For most daily drivers, open is fine. For high-value, classic, or exotic vehicles, enclosed transport provides full protection through the mountain passes.
