The most budget-friendly way to move your vehicle across Canada and the U.S. — if time isn’t a priority, rail offers unmatched cost savings.
Rail service car shipping transports your vehicle over long distances via the Canada and U.S. railway networks. As one of the most cost-effective options, your car is loaded onto an open rail car and moved between terminals, bypassing highway traffic and minimizing wear and tear.
While rail shipping offers significant savings, it typically comes with longer and less predictable delivery times compared to terminal-to-terminal or door-to-door transport. If you have a flexible schedule and want maximum value, rail is an excellent choice.
Perfect for relocations, cross-country purchases, or seasonal moves, rail transport keeps expenses low while ensuring your vehicle reaches its destination safely.
