About us
A clear price before you call anyone
Best Car Shipping Canada is a free guide to shipping a car within Canada. We show what a trip should cost in Canadian dollars, how long it takes and what to watch for on the road — for every province and 93 of the country's biggest cities — and we are building a directory of car shipping companies you can compare by city.
Why we built this
Shipping a car shouldn't feel like a gamble
Ask for one car shipping price online and you often end up with a flood of calls from brokers you never contacted. Quotes for the same trip can be hundreds of dollars apart, and it is hard to tell which one is realistic.
We start from the facts you can check: how far the trip really is by road, what carriers typically charge for that distance, how the season and the ferry change it, and how many people make the same move every year. With that, the quotes you get stop being a mystery.
What we stand for
Six things you can count on
-
Real road distances
Every price starts from the actual road distance between two cities, calculated on OpenStreetMap roads, not a straight line on a map.
-
Public data, named sources
How many people move between provinces, and when, comes from Statistics Canada (2024/2025 and 2025/2026). Every route page names its sources.
-
Estimates, clearly labelled
Our prices are typical market ranges in Canadian dollars, not quotes. We say so on every page, so you can use them to check the quotes you get.
-
Checked before listed
We add a car shipping company only after confirming it is a registered business with its own published details and a carrier safety certificate where one is required.
-
Your details stay yours
You never need an account or an email address to use the site. We don't sell contact details to lead buyers.
-
Open about how we earn
Companies may pay for extra features on their listing. We will always label it — and paying never gets a company past our checks.
Plain facts
What we are not
- Not a broker or a carrier. We don't move cars, take bookings or hold deposits. You deal with the shipping company directly.
- Not a quote. Our prices are estimates from typical market rates. Only a company can quote your exact trip.
- Not a government site. We use public data from Statistics Canada and OpenStreetMap, but we are an independent business.
