Shipping a car in Québec

Many Québec snowbirds spend the winter in South Florida, especially around Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Pompano Beach, and Autoroute 15 to I-87 at Lacolle–Champlain is the main road south. If you prefer French, ask companies in your message whether they can work in French.

Main routes: Autoroutes 20 and 40, and Autoroute 15 to the New York border.

Cities we serve include Montréal, Québec City, Gatineau, Sherbrooke and Laval, plus every other town in Québec: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Québec

Winter weather

Winters in Québec 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 Québec?

Once the car arrives, register it with the SAAQ (Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec). 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.

Questions about shipping to and from Québec

How long does it take to ship a car to and from Québec?
It depends mostly on distance. As a rough guide, a car typically spends 1–3 days on the truck for trips under 700 miles and 7–10 days coast to coast, plus the pickup window. The table above shows typical ranges from Montréal, QC.
How much does it cost to ship a car to and from Québec?
We don't publish price lists, because there isn't one right number: each verified company sets its own price for your exact pickup and delivery addresses, vehicle, dates, and open or enclosed transport, and sends it in writing to your dashboard. Posting and comparing quotes is free, and you never pay CarShipping247 anything.
Do you cover small towns in Québec?
Yes. You can post a pickup or delivery anywhere in Québec. Away from the main highways (Autoroutes 20 and 40, and Autoroute 15 to the New York border), carriers sometimes suggest meeting at a nearby town or wide lot, which can make pickup faster.
Will my phone start ringing after I post?
No. Companies see the route, vehicle, dates and photos, but not your name, phone, email or street address. They answer in writing, and only the company you book gets your details.
