Flexible Solutions

Moving a Car In or Out of the Northwest Territories?

Here’s what to know before you book.

Shipping Your Car to the Northwest Territories

Your car is collected at your old address, travels via the Alberta terminal, and is delivered to your new address in Yellowknife. There is no drop-off point in the territory itself.

Vehicle transport to Yellowknife is quoted per shipment because of the long leg north from Alberta, and the delivery window is wider than it would be for a provincial move. Confirm your route is available before you book flights around it. A lone household vehicle going up Highway 3 is personal car transport.

Shipping Your Car Out of the Northwest Territories

Leaving follows the same path in reverse, back through Alberta. If your destination is in eastern Canada, check the routing before you commit to dates.

Give yourself a buffer of several days either side of the quoted window rather than planning to hand the keys over on a fixed day. 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 the Northwest Territories

From the Alberta terminal up Highway 3 to Yellowknife, our drivers know the road north in every season.

April to June
Conditions improve and it is an easier window to book.
September to December
Good conditions through the autumn. If you plan to drive winter roads beyond the city, ship a car that can handle them.
July to August
The busiest months, with the most trucks heading north. Book several weeks ahead.
January to March
Highway 3 stays open year-round and bookings are easier to get. Extreme cold and short daylight slow the trip, so have the car ready for deep cold.

Northwest Territories Car Shipping FAQs

How much does Northwest Territories car shipping cost?

Northwest Territories car shipping costs are quoted per shipment, because the roughly 1,500 km leg north from the Alberta terminal varies by season and destination. Request a quote with your route and dates for an exact figure.

Do you ship between Yellowknife and Toronto?

Not directly. Automoves does not currently offer direct service on that route. Request a quote with your route and dates for other destinations.

Is Yellowknife only reachable by ice road?

No. Highway 3 into Yellowknife is an all-weather road, open all year. The ice and winter roads serve communities beyond the city.

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.
