Local guide
Car shipping in Montreal: pickup, highways and rail
Pickup and delivery in Montreal
Narrow streets in the Plateau, downtown and older neighbourhoods are hard for a full carrier, and in winter street parking is cleared for snow removal — a car left on the street waiting for a truck can be towed. Carriers usually meet customers on a boulevard or at a lot near Autoroute 40 or 20, or at their yard in Laval, Dorval or on the South Shore.
Highways car carriers use
Carriers come in and out of Montreal on Autoroutes 20, 40, 15 and 10. 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 Montreal
Montreal has its own CN rail terminal (Montreal (Taschereau Yard)), so rail car shipping can start right here. You book through a car shipping company, not the railway, and drop the car off at the terminal or the company's lot nearby.
Cross-border shipping from Montreal
The closest U.S. crossing is Lacolle – Champlain to Champlain, New York, roughly 70 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.
