Car Shipping Quebec

Shipping a car to Quebec from the United States.

There’s a lot on your plate when you’re planning an international move – the last thing you have time for is wading through rules and regulations, and trying to understand how to import. Let A1-AT relieve you. With decades of experience in moving to Quebec and across the rest of Canada, we are prepared not only to provide excellent services but also to walk you through the whole importation process.

Cost & Time For Shipments

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle.

*Save the ground cost by delivering to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional 10 days to process the documents.

*Prices are for 1 car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to haul internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

*Using the RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive and shipments can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

Location.

Quebec City is one of Canada’s largest, and an important hub. The Port is Canada’s oldest and second-largest, greeting upwards of 1,400 ships a year. Autoroutes and railways provide connecting services to haul goods further inland, as well as direct links to US cities.

Documents Needed.

Fortunately, you won’t need much in the way of elaborate paperwork to get the importation process started, but do ensure you bring the following two items:

• A notarized copy of your passport or other photo ID.
• The vehicle’s original title, or a DMV-certified copy.

Get Started from Home.

You can complete the following checks and preparations easily, before the process even begins.

• Make certain that all brakes are functioning as they should.
• Check for fuel or oil leaks, and leave a small amount of fuel in the tank (around 25% of capacity is usually recommended).
• Get the battery up to a full charge, and switch off the alarm systems to prevent it from draining during transit.
• Remove personal items from the auto, and take down any external fixtures that may be protruding.
• Finally, give it a thorough scrubbing and vacuuming, so that it’s prepared to undergo inspection at the border.

Select Delivery Styles.

You’ll have the choice between roll-on/roll-off and container moving. The former is a form of open method, where autos sit directly aboard the carrier and are simply driven on or off. This is the most popular choice, as it mixes cost-efficiency with excellent reliability and safety.

The container method is not without its own merits, however. By placing it in cargo containers, they are offered unparalleled levels of protection from the elements and other risk factors. This is a popular choice for those with particularly valuable vehicles – especially antiques.

You have a choice between two delivery and pickup schedules. With door-to-door from Canada Post, you may have your package picked up at your door and delivered anywhere. Terminal-to-terminal can save you money if you would rather leave your automobile at the terminal of departure and retrieve it at the terminal of arrival.

Rules and Regulations at Customs.

The Canadian Customs website provides a full rundown of the importation process, but you’ll want to note the points below:

• You’re required to submit a copy of the title to the border station at least 72 hours in advance of its arrival.
• Check the Canadian Registrar of Imported Vehicles to ensure it meets Canadian standards for emissions and other factors.
