How to Ship a Volkswagen in Canada

All VW models are conventional dimensions that ship on open carriers without complications. The ID.4 and ID. Buzz are electric and ship the same as gas models. The Golf R and GTI sit slightly lower than the crossover lineup, but not enough to cause loading issues on standard ramps.

When you book with Automoves, the driver calls the day before pickup to confirm timing. At pickup, they inspect your Volkswagen, photograph every panel, and you both sign a Bill of Lading documenting the vehicle's condition. Your car is tracked through Automoves ONE from pickup to delivery. At the other end, the driver does another inspection and you compare the car against the pickup documentation before signing off.

Common Questions About Car Shipping

Yes. Open carriers move the large majority of vehicles shipped in Canada and your Volkswagen is insured for the whole trip. If you want the extra protection of a sealed trailer, enclosed transport is available on any route.

It does. A compact sedan takes up less room and weight on the carrier than a three-row SUV or a pickup, so the larger the Volkswagen, the higher the rate. Your quote is priced on the exact model.

Yes. Lowered, lifted and otherwise modified vehicles ship every day. Tell us about the modifications when you book so we assign a carrier with the right ground clearance and loading equipment.
