Ontario ↔ United States Auto Transport Overview
Vehicles are regularly shipped between Ontario and the United States for practical, time-driven reasons rather than convenience alone. Common scenarios include seasonal stays in warmer states, permanent or temporary relocations, cross-border vehicle purchases, return moves after work assignments, and corporate or fleet travel that makes long-distance driving inefficient.
Transport runs in both directions throughout the year. We coordinate shipments moving south from Ontario cities such as Toronto and Ottawa into U.S. markets like Michigan and Illinois, as well as northbound moves from areas such as New York State or Ohio back into Ontario. Each direction involves different documentation, vehicle eligibility checks, and timing considerations based on origin and destination.
Ontario routes differ from other provinces due to their heavy use of high-volume land crossings and long-established freight corridors. Crossings at Windsor–Detroit and Fort Erie–Buffalo handle significant vehicle flow, which affects inspection scheduling, transit timing, and seasonal congestion. Winter weather, lake-effect snow, and peak spring and fall demand cycles also influence routing and delivery windows.
Popular Ontario Car Shipping Destinations
Ontario’s cross-border vehicle traffic concentrates around areas with established highway corridors, inspection facilities, and consistent carrier flow tied to U.S. trade routes.
Greater Toronto Area (GTA)
The Toronto region, including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, and Markham, is a frequent origin and destination due to its dense carrier availability and direct access to Highway 401. Vehicles moving through the GTA can be staged near export offices and routed efficiently toward Windsor or Fort Erie for U.S. crossings. This concentration reduces coordination gaps when scheduling pickups and border inspections.
Southwestern Ontario Corridors
Cities such as London and Kitchener sit along well-used east–west routes that feed directly into Detroit-area crossings. Transport in this region often requires tighter scheduling, as carrier frequency is lower than in the GTA but transit distances to the border are shorter. Loads are commonly paired with Michigan-bound routes, which can affect pickup windows and delivery sequencing.
Coverage Beyond Urban Centers
Service extends beyond major cities into smaller communities, agricultural areas, and northern parts of the province. These moves may involve longer lead times or relay transport to reach primary corridors before crossing into the United States. Availability depends on seasonal demand, road conditions, and whether carriers can efficiently integrate the location into existing cross-border routes.
Transport Options for Shipping Cars Between Ontario & the United States
Vehicles moving between Ontario and the United States are typically shipped using either open or enclosed transport. The appropriate option depends on the type of vehicle being moved, the level of protection required, transit timing, and overall budget considerations. Both methods are used regularly on cross-border routes connecting Ontario with U.S. markets.
Open Transport vs. Closed Transport Options
Open Transport
Open carriers are commonly used for standard passenger vehicles, dealer inventory, relocations, and seasonal moves where exposure to the elements is acceptable.
This option generally carries lower per-vehicle costs, particularly on Ontario routes that benefit from steady carrier flow along Highway 401 and high-volume border crossings such as Windsor–Detroit.
Availability is frequent, as open trailers make up the majority of cross-border auto carriers operating between Southern Ontario and the Midwest and Northeast United States.
Closed Transport
Enclosed transport provides full protection from road debris, weather, and environmental exposure during transit.
It is typically selected for high-value vehicles, limited-production models, or cars with low ground clearance moving to or from Ontario, especially during winter months.
The tradeoff involves higher pricing and more constrained scheduling, since enclosed carriers operate in smaller numbers and may require more precise routing to align with Ontario–U.S. demand patterns.
Both open and enclosed transport are used on long-distance, cross-border routes involving Ontario. The right choice depends on the vehicle’s characteristics and how the customer balances protection, timing, and cost.

Pricing for Ontario routes reflects the province’s concentration of high-volume border crossings, particularly along the Windsor–Detroit corridor, where carrier capacity is strong but tightly scheduled to meet customs and inspection windows. Rates in the table align with how efficiently loads can be staged near southern Ontario hubs and routed into established U.S. interstate networks without detours or secondary transfers.
How the Ontario ↔ USA Car Shipping Process Works
Shipping a vehicle between Ontario and the United States follows a coordinated door-to-door process where routing, customs handling, and carrier scheduling are managed as a single workflow. Vehicles are collected directly from their origin, cleared through the border, and delivered to the U.S. destination without handoffs or gaps in responsibility.
Step 1: Request a Quote

Reviews from Ontario-Bound Customers
These reviews reflect customer experiences shipping vehicles through Ontario routes such as the Toronto–Buffalo corridor, where timing, border coordination, and delivery consistency play a visible role in the overall process.
US Canada Auto Transport went above and beyond in delivering an outstanding experience when shipping and importing my vehicle from Toronto to Miami. Their clear and concise instructions guided me seamlessly through the entire shipping and import process, ensuring I was well-informed at every step.What truly sets them apart is their commitment to both affordability and excellence. Not only did they provide the best price in comparison to other options, but my vehicle arrived on time without any issues, demonstrating their dedication to a hassle-free experience.I wholeheartedly recommend US Canada Auto Transport to anyone in need of reliable and affordable vehicle shipping services. Their unbeatable combination of affordability, excellent communication, and flawless delivery earns them a solid 5-star rating!
US Canada was amazing.Was a seem-less process to get the car from Toronto to California. Car arrived in perfect condition. Driver was responsive. Would use them again
US Canada Auto Transport was very pleasant to work with. Julia was able to keep me in the loop every step of the way. I transported a vehicle from Ontario to Oklahoma City, OK. The customs process was a breeze, with just a few forms to fill out and sign. Originally, I had anticipated that the vehicle would take anywhere from 14-21 days to be delivered. It actually took 4 days! The transporter texted me with photos of the car when they received it and were very communicative on timelines of receiving the car. The customer broker, Livingston International, were communicative as well. The only slight hiccup was that I had to communicate to Livingston International that I didn't received a stamped CBP. They were able to finally get it from the customs border (took a few days). Reason why this is needed is that some states/tag agencies/DMV require this stamped CBP form in order to register the vehicle. Overall, I had a great experience and would do business with US Canada Auto Transport!
Shipped my car from Toronto to LosAngeles. Process was smooth and excellent support from the team. Thanks to Julia and others for the support throughout and patiently clarifying all my questions.

I recently had US Canada Auto Transport bring my car down from Ontario to Arizona where I am now living. I provided documents which they required and they looked after all the details to get my car across the border, through customs and transported to my home in AZ. When they came I signed for it and my car was ready to go. It took a week for my car to get here once it started. I would highly recommend this company to others!
I worked with Julia to ship my Tesla Model 3 from San Francisco to Toronto. She took care of everything and provided me all the information regarding documentation, customs process and the delivery step.I chose US Canada Auto Transport as they were the only shipping company that allowed me to ship personal items of 100 lbs and reasonable with their price compared to the others.My car was picked on Oct 4 and I received the car in Toronto on Oct 17 (there was a long weekend on 14th Oct here in Canada).Julia communicated about the car delivery a day before it was delivered and I got a call on the day of delivery too. I picked the car from Stream Logistics on Oct 17 at the bonded warehouse in Mississauga. It was a real smooth process, hardly took 25-30 minutes including Customs process at CBSA office. There was no scratch or any wear/tear issue on the car.I definitely recommend the US Canada Auto Transport. Thanks once again for your service 🙂

I recently used US Canada Auto Transport to relocate my US vehicle from Quebec Canada to California. The process was absolutely seamless. This company knows their business.

I worked with Dion and his team at US Canada Transport to import my daughter's 2023 Volvo from Vancouver, Canada to Orlando, FL. They were very professional and provided excellent service on a timely basis. They were very responsive to my many questions and made arrangements so we could drop the car at a depot in Vancouver at our convenience. From there, they took care of the shipping and all of the dealings with customs to get the car across the border all for one price. There were no hidden costs, the price that we were quoted was the price we paid. The delivery of the car went smoothly as well as the transport driver kept us informed of the expected delivery date and then provided a delivery time window on the delivery day. We had good experience with US Canada transport and would recommend them for cross-border shipping of vehicles

Recently had my car shipped from Vancouver to Minnesota, and I was very pleased with the whole process. Selwyn was a great help walking me through the cross-border paperwork. Happy to recommend them.
Selwyn went above and beyond in his service. I had to switch at the last moment due a fall-out with my previous shipper, and his team took me on with minimum delay - not only arranging everything in a short time as per their word, but also explaining the process quite efficiently.
It was a great experience with a smooth transport of my vehicle from US to Canada. Special thanks to Debbie & Julia for their Support throughout. I highly recommend this service.

I have used US/Can Auto Transport many times with shipping classic cars across the US and Canada. Julia and all the staff do an outstanding service in everything they do in getting all the required paperwork to get the cars shipped, sending contracts, and helping where they can. Excellent Professional Staff!From Gord in Niagara, Canada
The shipping was positive and within the expected time frame. The car arrived damage free and the driver was friendly and cooperative. There are a few items that need clarifying. The bank and location given to transfer the fee was not clear, one email indicated a branch in San Diego and another email indicated a branch in New York. I was disappointed in being charged an extra $75.00 for gasoline for the vehicle and starter fluid. When the vehicle was received I expected there would be at least half a tank of gas, however the gauges indicated empty. If the car needed gas I understand a certain charge but I expected some gas in the tank when I received the car.
I had a great experience with the company “US Canada auto Transport “ . First, the communication and the preparation of my file was efficient: They answer quickly to all my questions. Second, the time of the shipping was more than raisonnable . Finally, the car was in the same condition that I gave it to them …I really recommend this company to anyone that is planning to ship a car from Canada to the US or from US to Canada .. Thank you very much for your service !
The questions below address common concerns about moving vehicles between Ontario and the United States, including routing logistics, border procedures, and transit timing.
Vehicles can be picked up throughout Ontario, including major metro areas like Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and Hamilton, as well as smaller cities along Highway 401. Pickup planning considers local access, residential restrictions, and proximity to outbound border routes.
Crossings such as Windsor–Detroit, Fort Erie–Buffalo, and Sarnia–Port Huron are frequently used due to their commercial vehicle infrastructure. The selected crossing depends on destination state, carrier routing, and current border traffic conditions.
The vehicle title or ownership document, lien release if applicable, and government-issued identification are required for export from Ontario. U.S. Customs may also require advance submission of documents at the chosen border crossing.
Transit time depends on pickup location within Ontario and the final U.S. destination, with southern Ontario routes generally moving faster due to direct highway access. Border processing and carrier scheduling are factored into the overall timeline.
Winter conditions in Ontario can influence scheduling, particularly in northern areas or during heavy snowfall periods. Carriers may adjust routing or timing to maintain safety and compliance during colder months.
Residential pickup and delivery are possible across most Ontario cities, though space limitations in dense areas like downtown Toronto may require nearby meeting points. Local traffic patterns and municipal restrictions are considered during scheduling.
Enclosed transport is commonly used for luxury, classic, or low-clearance vehicles originating in Ontario. Availability may vary based on departure city and alignment with U.S.-bound enclosed carrier routes.
Vehicles must be operable, clean, and free of personal items before pickup in Ontario. Fuel levels are typically kept low, and any existing damage should be documented prior to transport.
Vehicles departing Ontario often follow established corridors such as Highway 401 toward Windsor or Fort Erie before entering U.S. interstate networks. Routing is selected to minimize transfers and maintain consistent transit flow.
Most standard passenger vehicles can be transported from Ontario, though oversized, heavily modified, or non-running vehicles may require special arrangements. Eligibility can also be influenced by U.S. import regulations tied to vehicle age and compliance.
Because many Ontario shipments move through the Windsor and Fort Erie crossings, routes are often coordinated alongside traffic heading into New York auto transport routes where established interstate corridors support steady cross-border flow. This alignment allows vehicles staged in southern Ontario to merge efficiently into U.S. carrier networks without additional transfers or backtracking.
