Local guide
Car shipping in Burnaby: pickup, highways and rail
Pickup and delivery in Burnaby
Burnaby is about 15 km by road from Vancouver. Carriers that serve Vancouver usually cover Burnaby as well — often at the same price or with a small surcharge — and pickups close to Highway 1 and Highway 7 are the easiest. Full-size carriers can't always reach quiet residential streets, so be ready to meet the driver at a wide street or a big parking lot nearby.
Highways car carriers use
Carriers come in and out of Burnaby on Highway 1 and Highway 7. A pickup or delivery point a few minutes from one of these saves the driver a detour and can save you money.
Shipping a car by train from Burnaby
The nearest rail terminal is Surrey (Vancouver area, CN), about 29 km by road. Rail from Burnaby means driving the car there yourself or paying for a truck to take it, so it pays off mainly on long cross-country moves.
Cross-border shipping from Burnaby
The closest U.S. crossing is Pacific Highway / Peace Arch to Blaine, Washington, roughly 40 km away. Carriers file the export and import paperwork differently, so ask who handles the U.S. Customs 72-hour export notice and the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) before you book.
