When you hire an automobile hauling company to assist you in hauling your vehicle from the United States to St John's, you will have a less stressful experience.

You must clean your vehicle thoroughly for it to pass any pre-shipping inspection and to check the vehicle for any visible signs of dents and damage that may not have otherwise been noticed.

Shipping a vehicle from the United States to Canada is not that expensive. The cost will depend on factors such as where you will be shipping the vehicle out of and where you will be importing it to in Canada. Most vehicles will average $700 to $2,500, with the higher price being those traveling further away.

If your vehicle is able to be transported from the United States to Canada and all rules and regulations are followed by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), you will need to pay:

• Duty and Excise tax.
• Good and Service tax of 5%.
• Sales tax or Provincial tax must be paid as well.
• Harmonized Sales Tax of 8% when you transport from the United States and your vehicle is licensed.

Transporting Options To St. Johns

When you are ready to haul your vehicle, you will have two transportation options: Roll-on/Roll-off and Container or enclosed carrier.

Open Car Carrier or Roll-on/Roll-off method conveniently ships your vehicle from the United States to Canada. With this method of transportation, several vehicles are hauled at one time. The vehicles are loaded one by one onto the deck of the ship and then parked in a designated parking space. This is the most affordable way to ship a vehicle because you only pay for the spot the vehicle occupies.

For people who need to ship a luxury automobile or who want to protect their vehicle from theft or vandalism while the ship is in transit or docked, container shipping or enclosed carriers are viable alternatives. The automobile will be safe from the elements within the container. Shipping in this fashion is more costly than shipping by Roll-on/Roll-off.

Air Freight is another option that is not commonly chosen due to the high rates associated with this method. However, if you want or need your vehicle shipped, this is the quickest way to do it.
