Vehicle Transport & Driveaway Services

Cars, RVs and trucks moved within Canada, within the USA and across the border. Tell us what’s moving, where it’s going and how you want it transported. We’ll coordinate the rest.

Driven or carried

Its own wheels. Or a ride on someone else’s.

The right option depends on your vehicle, its condition and where it’s going. We’ll help you choose before you hand over the keys.

Driveaway

Your vehicle. A professional behind the wheel.

A driver from our network collects your vehicle and drives it to the destination. A practical option for relocations and fleet moves when the vehicle is ready for the road.

  • Cars, RVs and commercial trucks
  • Roadworthiness, registration and insurance requirements confirmed before booking
  • The journey adds mileage

Carried

Your vehicle gets a lift.

Your vehicle travels by truck or suitable flat-deck equipment for the main journey. We confirm the transport and loading arrangements around its size, condition and route.

  • Non-running and project vehicles assessed individually
  • Low clearance and modifications considered before booking
  • Limited driving for loading, unloading and positioning may be required
Crossing the border?

The keys aren’t the only paperwork.

Buying a vehicle, relocating or heading south for the season? The reason for the trip affects the import and export requirements.

Tell us which direction it’s travelling and whether it’s coming back. We can arrange clearance through our licensed customs brokerage partner or coordinate with your existing broker.

Vehicle transport FAQs

Before you hand over the keys.

Cost & timing

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

The price depends on the route, vehicle size, condition, transport method and dates. Collection and delivery requirements, border arrangements and any special handling can also affect the cost.

Send your vehicle and trip details for a quote showing what’s included.

How long does vehicle transport take?

Timing depends on the route, transport method and driver or carrier availability. Weather, border processing and collection arrangements can also affect the schedule.

We confirm the estimated pickup window and transit time separately. The time spent waiting for collection counts when you’re planning your move, even if the wheels haven’t started turning.

Transport options

What condition does my vehicle need to be in for driveaway?

It must be roadworthy and meet the registration and insurance requirements for the trip. Tell us about mechanical issues, warning lights, overdue maintenance or anything that could affect the drive.

If it isn’t ready for the road, we can assess carried transport instead.

Can you transport RVs, motorhomes and commercial trucks?

Yes, we arrange transportation for cars, RVs, motorhomes and commercial trucks, subject to the vehicle and route.

Send the dimensions, weight, condition and any modifications, particularly for larger vehicles. We’ll confirm whether professional driveaway or carried transport is suitable. A motorhome and a hatchback need different arrangements, even if both have cupholders.

Can you transport a vehicle that doesn’t run?

Possibly, depending on its condition, the route and available loading equipment. A non-running vehicle needs a transport assessment before we can confirm a booking.

Tell us whether it rolls, steers and brakes, and include photos of any damage or missing components. Low clearance, locked wheels and fluid leaks also need mentioning upfront.

Do you offer enclosed vehicle transport?

Yes. Enclosed transport can be arranged where it suits the vehicle and the route, for cars that should not be exposed to road spray, stone chips and weather on the way.

It costs more than open transport and the equipment is less widely available, so give us as much notice as you can. Tell us the vehicle, both locations and your timing, and we’ll compare open and enclosed for the move.

Is vehicle transport door to door or terminal to terminal?

Both are available — it comes down to what suits you. Tell us which you want and we’ll arrange it.

The one practical limit is access. Narrow streets, low branches, gated complexes and steep driveways are the usual reasons a carrier asks to meet nearby instead, so send both addresses and we’ll confirm what the equipment can reach before you book.

Cross-border transport

Can Moto ship a car between Canada and the USA?

Yes. Driveaway and carried options are available where suitable for the vehicle and route.

Transportation is confirmed alongside the applicable import and export requirements; not every vehicle is eligible for permanent import.

What documents are needed to transport a vehicle across the Canada–USA border?

The documents depend on the direction of travel, vehicle, ownership and whether the move is temporary or permanent. They may include ownership or title documents, a bill of sale, identification, authorization to move the vehicle and applicable import or export filings.

Send the details early. We’ll confirm the requirements for your situation with our brokerage partner, including any advance submission deadlines.

Preparation & protection

How do I prepare my vehicle for shipping or driveaway service?

Remove valuables, secure loose accessories and disclose mechanical issues, modifications or operating instructions. Clean the vehicle enough to record its condition, take dated photos and have the required keys and documents ready.

We provide preparation instructions for the booked service, including fuel or charging requirements. A vehicle being driven across the country needs different preparation from one riding on a carrier.

Can I leave personal belongings in my vehicle during transport?

Plan to empty the vehicle before collection. Some transport providers allow limited personal items, but this must be approved before booking. Restrictions and customs requirements may apply, especially for cross-border moves.

Remove valuables and don’t assume personal belongings are covered by the vehicle’s transport insurance.

What insurance coverage applies during vehicle transport?

Insurance is arranged while we quote, based on the value of the vehicle and the method of transport. It is settled and explained before you book, not left to the handover.

So tell us what the vehicle is worth and anything that changes that — modifications, rarity, a non-standard build. If you do notice damage at delivery, record it on the handover document, photograph it and contact Moto promptly.
