How long does it take to ship a car between the USA and Canada?

Cross-border car shipping typically takes 5–10 business days, depending on pickup location, drop-off location, weather, and customs processing. Major routes like Toronto to Florida or Vancouver to Seattle move fastest.

What documents do I need to ship a car across the USA–Canada border?

You’ll need the vehicle title or registration, a copy of your driver’s license, and a bill of sale if applicable. U.S. and Canadian Customs may also request a recall clearance letter and a temporary import form.

Can I ship a financed or leased vehicle to Canada or the USA?

Yes. You can ship a financed or leased vehicle, but you must obtain written authorization from your lender or leasing company before export or import. Most lenders provide approval within a few business days.

How much does it cost to ship a car between the USA and Canada?

Prices typically range from $825 to $1,650 or more, depending on distance, vehicle size, timing, and whether customs fees apply. Long-distance routes like Texas to Ontario cost more than nearby routes such as Seattle to Vancouver.

Are there customs fees or import duties when shipping a car?

Yes, import duties may apply based on the vehicle’s VIN, origin, age, and purpose of import. Vehicles built in the USA or Canada are often duty-free, while vehicles from Europe or Asia usually have tariffs.

Can I put personal items inside the vehicle?

We recommend keeping the vehicle empty due to customs regulations. Small items under 50 pounds may be allowed but must be declared. Restricted items will be removed at the border.

Do you handle the paperwork and customs clearance?

Yes. We handle all required customs forms, import approvals, and documentation to ensure a smooth USA–Canada border crossing.

Can snowbirds ship their car to the USA for the winter?

Yes. Snowbirds frequently ship their vehicles from Canada to U.S. destinations like Florida, Arizona, Texas, and California. We manage the entire process so your car is ready when you arrive.

Julia was extremely helpful. My first time making a move and she made it easy. Driver was on the ball, kept me posted and friendly. Would definitely recommend this company.

I had my car shipped from Ontario to California. It was door to door service and I could not have asked for a smoother pickup and drop off. The car was picked up the day before I left and arrived 13 days later.

23:10 07 Dec 25

Shipped my car with them from Texas, US to Quebec, CA. Whole process was smooth. They took care of all the paper work at the border. I was shipping my Canadian car back to Canada from Texas so paper work was simpler. Total transit time was about 7 days. They were also very competitive on pricing. All in all it was stress free, to ship my car with them. Recommend.

Katie Clattenburg

22:59 11 Nov 25

The pick up in Canada was fantastic, driver was very personable. The drop off wasn’t as great. The driver dropped it off 20mins away from the destination and wouldn’t reload the vehicle. He did however drive the key to the correct destination.

Rating 5/5 because their prices were amazing, responsive over the phone and their pickup/delivery was reasonably on time.I do think they would benefit from giving customers updates on their cars and accurate ETAs.

I’ve hired this transport company three times to move my car, and I can confidently say they are one of the best in the business. Each time, they provided outstanding service from start to finish. They are not only reliable and professional, but they also go above and beyond to make sure everything is handled with care.Every transport was smooth, stress-free, and on time. My car always arrived in excellent condition, without a scratch. I was especially impressed by how well they communicated throughout the entire process — from confirming the pickup time to updating me during transit and confirming delivery. That kind of attention to detail and customer service is rare these days.What I appreciate the most is their consistency. It’s not just a one-time good experience — they’ve proven over and over again that they can be trusted. Their team is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about doing a good job.Whether you’re transporting a car locally or over a long distance, I highly recommend this company. I’ll absolutely continue to use their services in the future and recommend them to friends and family as well. It’s such a relief to have a go-to transport company I can fully rely on!

Very satisfied. They are very professional and efficient with their work. Thanks to Julia.

23:37 23 Jun 25

I actually had a great experience with US Canada Auto Transport. After the initial inquiry, I had a designated contact, Chinoso, who took care to make sure I had all my paperwork in order for the transport, and handled the logistics. Communication was good, the vehicle was picked up in a timely fashion, and got delivered to my door, undamaged and safely, for the agreed upon amount, without a hiccup.One thing I did do was enlist the help of a Customs Broker, Border Buddy, which was totally worth it. They handled the paperwork to export the vehicle from the US, and import it in Canada, and paid the duties on my behalf. Not having to physically go to the border or deal with importation personally was a huge value. Border Buddy and US Canada Auto Transport worked well together and made it very easy for me.If I ever import a vehicle again, I'll use both services as I was perfectly happy with both.Many thanks to all involved! It was a team effort.
