Ship Car To Surrey

Car Shipping Surrey

Surrey is a beautiful city in Vancouver Metro Regional District of British Columbia in Canada. It is one of the most populated cities in British Columbia and if you are moving here for employment opportunities or to study, you’ll need to have your own personal vehicle to ensure commuting is smooth.

The West of British Columbia faces the Pacific Ocean which faces the west coast of the U.S. This makes shipping to and from British Columbia much easier. You can go to the Overland Route in order to get from the U.S. to the Surrey and can choose door to port service or you can drive your vehicle to the closest location. You may also want to choose other picks up options such as terminal-to-door or terminal-to-terminal. This will all depend on the policies of A1 Auto Transport as they are perfect to handle your shipping.

Since it's more convenient to choose the overland route, you can choose from one of the two shipping methods; a closed container or truck that protects your vehicle from weather and debris or a multi-car carrier. This option has your vehicle traveling in a more open way but it is more affordable in the long run.

Shipping cost to Surrey.

The cost to ship your vehicle from the U.S to British Columbia will depend on which method of shipping you have chosen above. Services such as door-to-door or port-to-terminal can become more expensive in the long run. If you choose to have your vehicle transported in an enclosed truck instead of a multi-car carrier, you will most likely pay more money. Mileage and cost of fuels will be a factor to consider as well as customs tax and the size and model of your vehicle since it will be taking up space on the truck. Shipping in an open truck will allow you to share the expense with others.

Your vehicle is liable to an import assessment which can include excise tax, duty, and 5% GST. You may also be charged a provincial sales tax when you obtain a license there. If your vehicle is a non-U.S vehicle, then the duty is calculated at 6.1%. Other taxes include provincial sales tax, or PST, an air conditioning tax, an excess weight tax, or a gas guzzler tax, depending on your vehicle.
