Shipping a car in Newfoundland and Labrador
The island of Newfoundland is reached by the Marine Atlantic ferry from North Sydney, Nova Scotia to Port aux Basques (or Argentia in summer), so shipping a car here adds a ferry crossing that weather can delay. Labrador is reached by ferry or the Trans-Labrador Highway, so ask companies exactly what they cover.
Main routes: the Trans-Canada (Highway 1) and the Marine Atlantic ferry from North Sydney, Nova Scotia.
Cities we serve include St. John's, Corner Brook, Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor, plus every other town in Newfoundland and Labrador: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Newfoundland and Labrador
Winter weather
Winters in Newfoundland and Labrador bring snow and road salt, roughly December to March. Carriers keep running, but a storm can push pickup or delivery by a day or two. A car on an open carrier will arrive salty, so plan a wash.
Peak moving season
June to August is the busiest moving season in North America: school-year moves, new jobs and military transfers all land in summer. Posting early gives you more quotes and more choice of dates.
Moving to Newfoundland and Labrador?
Once the car arrives, register it with the Motor Registration Division (Service NL). Ask what it needs for a vehicle registered somewhere else (often a VIN check, an inspection or an emissions test) before your old plates or insurance run out.
Shipping across the US border? Only companies that handle cross-border work will quote, and you'll need the ownership or title, ID and a signed authorization letter; permanent imports have extra steps. Each cross-border route page explains the paperwork.
