Shipping a car in Ontario
Ontario is the biggest snowbird source in Canada: cars go from the Toronto area, Ottawa and southwestern Ontario to Florida every fall and come back in spring. Highway 401 is one of the busiest highways in North America, and the Windsor–Detroit, Sarnia–Port Huron and Niagara crossings are the main routes into the US.
Main routes: Highway 401, the QEW, Highway 400 and Highway 417.
Cities we serve include Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Hamilton, London, Windsor, Kingston and Barrie, plus every other town in Ontario: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Ontario
Winter weather
Winters in Ontario 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 Ontario?
Once the car arrives, register it with ServiceOntario. A vehicle coming from another province or from the US needs a Safety Standards Certificate before it can be plated in Ontario.
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.
How it works here
