Default Best Car Shipper in Canada Montreal to BC
Hi all,

Which company is reliable to ship a car across Canada from Montreal to BC? I hear a lot of horror stories and wanna prevent that. Car is not too expensive ($60K), it's not a Ferrari, but I don't want it delivered damaged, scratched, etc...

Any recommendations?

Thanks

I know there will be mixed reviews, but Hansen did a great job transporting my car the opposite direction from Vancouver to Toronto two years ago. Mind you, it was a $600 car, not a $60,000 car.

I would use them again.

You shipped a 600 car across Canada? How much was it? Probably twice as much as car was worth. Right?

I was kidding that it was a $600 car! Well, sort of. When I trade it in, the dealer offered $600 and I laughed and walked out on them and got my asking price elsewhere.

I recall it cost me around $2100. It was supposed to be shipped by rail, which would take forever, but instead, it was shipped via truck and typically costs more.

Default used Blue Line November2017
This was an excellent experience, shipped my 2016 CTT dealer to dealer from Montreal to Vancouver for $ 2300 + GST " Enclosed truck " took about 8 Days from booking to delivery, selling dealer arranged that for me,
good luck.

Add another vote of confidence for TFX.

Used them in winter 2013 for an Edmonton to Vancouver closed transport of a 911. No issues and prompt service.

TFX from my research, years ago though. If you want something more personal try SRTCarriers.

I have used Thorsons a couple of times. They are very good at what they do.

I used Hansen. They ship by train, so no loading and unloading from trucks. Fewest potential people driving the car that may hoon or damage it. Trains also tend to be on time and don't get into accidents. 10/10 would use them again.

Thorsons damaged a car of mine and killed the battery as they refused to lock the car + leave key in the ignition "for safety reasons"

Got the run around but they did own up to it after some effort
