Ship your car from Canada to California with ease. US Canada Auto Transport provides door-to-door service, offering open carriers for cost-effective moves and enclosed carriers for luxury or high-value vehicles—ensuring safe, compliant cross-border transport every time.
Shipping a car to California from Canada depends on factors such as the type of transport, the distance, and the size of the vehicle. Open transport is a budget-friendly option but leaves the vehicle exposed to the elements, whereas enclosed transport provides enhanced protection, making it ideal for luxury or classic cars.
Costs also depend on starting location, with urban areas like Toronto or Vancouver generally cheaper than rural pickups. Seasonal demand, customs fees for temporary or permanent imports, and added services like expedited shipping can also affect the price.
