Shipping a car in Prince Edward Island
Cars reach PEI over the Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick or, in season, by ferry from Nova Scotia. The bridge restricts high-sided vehicles on very windy days, which can occasionally delay a carrier by a few hours or a day.
Main routes: the Confederation Bridge and the Trans-Canada.
Cities we serve include Charlottetown and Summerside, plus every other town in Prince Edward Island: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Prince Edward Island
Winter weather
Winters in Prince Edward Island 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 Prince Edward Island?
Once the car arrives, register it with Access PEI. 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.
