I've ended up moving cars across the country several times in the past few years - a total of 8 car/trips.

I did quite a bit of research into shipping cars in Canada, and was distressed to see that many of the so called "shippers" are actually only brokers. Also, when your car is shipped rail it usually transferred from truck to train or train to truck at least once , and may be transferred again in between. I would be very concerned who is driving your vehicle at these times.

Every time, the shipper I used was Thorsons Enclosed Vehicle Transport. They only use their own enclosed car carriers, and are very fast and reliable. All of the drivers I have encountered were professional and friendly, and many of their drivers are long-timers which is good to see in this business. Until recently, they were only word-of-mouth and had no advertising (or phone listing, for that matter) but have been around quite some time.

I believe they do a lot of carriage for Porsche Canada, Subaru, and Honda. Most of the time, the trailer is filled with exotic and antique cars - I've seen Lambos, Ferraris, Bentleys, and many Porsches when they drop my cars off. As far as I am aware, they do their best to minimize any loading/unloading, and trans-ship only if necessary in Toronto.

I have no interest in this company, but am always happy to support a good business. If you contact them, tell Andy or Dave that Ayan from Ottawa recommended you!

Cheers,
Ayan
