Local guide
Car shipping in North Vancouver: pickup, highways and rail
Pickup and delivery in North Vancouver
North Vancouver is about 15 km by road from Vancouver. Carriers that serve Vancouver usually cover North Vancouver as well — often at the same price or with a small surcharge — and pickups close to Highway 1 (Upper Levels) and Highway 99 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 North Vancouver on Highway 1 (Upper Levels) and Highway 99. 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 North Vancouver
The nearest rail terminal is Surrey (Vancouver area, CN), about 42 km by road. Rail from North Vancouver 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 North Vancouver
The closest U.S. crossing is Pacific Highway / Peace Arch to Blaine, Washington, roughly 50 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.

Will a car carrier pick up my car in North Vancouver?
North Vancouver is about 15 km by road from Vancouver. Carriers that serve Vancouver usually cover North Vancouver as well — often at the same price or with a small surcharge — and pickups close to Highway 1 (Upper Levels) and Highway 99 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.
Is there a rail terminal for car shipping near North Vancouver?
The nearest is the Surrey terminal (Vancouver area, CN), about 42 km by road. You book through a car shipping company and drop the car off there, or pay for a truck to take it to the terminal.
Which U.S. border crossing is closest to North Vancouver?
The Pacific Highway / Peace Arch crossing to Blaine, Washington, roughly 50 km away. A car leaving the U.S. must be reported to U.S. Customs and Border Protection at least 72 hours before export, and a U.S. car registered in Canada goes through the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV).
How do I check a car shipping company in North Vancouver, BC?
Ask for the company's full legal name and its carrier registration — a National Safety Code (NSC) number, or a CVOR certificate in Ontario — and confirm it with the provincial transport ministry. Check that cargo insurance covers your car's value, get the price and pickup window in writing, and never pay the full amount before pickup.
