Local guide
Car shipping in New Brunswick: what to know
New Brunswick is the gateway to the Maritimes. Every carrier heading from Quebec or Ontario to Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island crosses it on the Trans-Canada through Edmundston, Fredericton and Moncton, so those cities are on the way for a lot of trucks. Saint John adds a port and a direct road to Maine. Cars moving in register through Service New Brunswick after an inspection.
Where car carriers run in New Brunswick
The Trans-Canada (Highway 2) enters from Quebec at Edmundston, runs down the Saint John River valley to Fredericton and on to Moncton. Moncton to Montreal is about 1,000 km and Moncton to Toronto about 1,550 km. From Moncton, trucks continue to Nova Scotia or over the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island.
Saint John is on Highway 1, which links to the Maine border at St. Stephen. Carriers that ship between the Maritimes and the U.S. use that crossing.
Shipping a car to New Brunswick: inspection and registration
To register a vehicle from another province, New Brunswick requires a motor vehicle inspection at a licensed station, then registration at Service New Brunswick with proof of insurance. Keep the carrier's inspection report from delivery — it's your record if anything is found.
Winters bring heavy snow and freezing rain along the Saint John River valley, and carriers sometimes wait out storms at Edmundston or Fredericton. Add a few days of slack between December and March.
Bilingual New Brunswick
New Brunswick is officially bilingual, and northern areas around Edmundston, Bathurst and the Acadian Peninsula are largely francophone. Carriers working the Quebec–Maritimes lane are used to both languages; ask for documents in the one you read.
Shipping options
How to ship a car in New Brunswick: truck, rail and more
The ways cars actually move to, from and within New Brunswick, and when each one makes sense.
-
Open car carrier
The standard way: 7–10 cars on a two-level trailer. Cheapest, and the most trucks.
In New Brunswick: Open carriers cross New Brunswick constantly on the way to the Maritimes, so Moncton, Fredericton and Edmundston are on many trucks' routes.
-
Enclosed trailer
A covered trailer that keeps out weather, salt and stones. About 50% more than open.
In New Brunswick: Fewer enclosed carriers serve the Maritimes; book ahead, especially for winter.
-
By train (rail)
Terminal to terminal on the national rail network. Good for long, cross-country moves.
In New Brunswick: Rail car shipping in the Maritimes usually starts or ends at Halifax or Montreal, with a truck for the New Brunswick leg. Moncton has a CN yard, but consumer car shippers rarely load there.
-
Ferry connections
Where the road ends at the water, carriers add a ferry or meet you at the terminal.
In New Brunswick: Bay Ferries sails from Saint John to Digby, Nova Scotia. Prince Edward Island is reached by the Confederation Bridge from Cape Jourimain, so no ferry is needed.
-
Flatbed or driver
One car on a flatbed or tow truck, or a professional driver. Best for short trips.
In New Brunswick: For Moncton–Saint John–Fredericton trips, a single-car flatbed or a hired driver is usually quickest.
By train
Car shipping by rail in New Brunswick: terminals
Canada's two national railways, CN and CPKC, carry cars between major cities. You don't book with the railway itself: a car shipping company books the space, and you drop the car off and collect it at a rail terminal or the company's lot nearby — or pay extra for a truck to cover the first and last mile. Rail usually takes longer than a truck on the same route, because cars wait at the terminal to be loaded and unloaded, so ask for the terminal-to-terminal time in writing.
| Terminal | Railway | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Moncton (Gordon Yard) | CN | CN's New Brunswick hub. Ask your shipper whether it loads cars here; most use Halifax or Montreal and truck the rest. |
Exact drop-off addresses depend on the shipping company; confirm the terminal and its hours when you book.
Cross-border
Shipping a car between New Brunswick and the U.S.
Carriers moving cars between New Brunswick and the United States use these crossings. 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 being registered in Canada goes through the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) program. Ask the carrier who files the paperwork.
-
Woodstock – Houlton
Route 95 – I-95 to Maine
The main crossing for trucks between the Maritimes and the U.S. East Coast.
-
St. Stephen – Calais
Route 1 – US 1 to Maine
Closest to Saint John and coastal routes.
