I am looking at a car that I believe may be the one. I need to look at shipping the car, since it plays into the budget. I have zero experience with this, so I am wondering if any canuks have used a shipping company, would they recommend them, and how much should I set aside if I do this?
Winnipeg -> Ottawa
Thanks!
It's going to be based on miles shipped. How far does it need to go?
I have dealt with TFX International a couple of times, pricey but worth it...

TFX is my preferred choice :alan2cents: I would guess at least $2K ::) :dunno:
For a less expensive option I had a customer from Winnipeg use LeBlanc Trucking http://www.topmoving.ca/moving-company/leblanc-trucking_okotoks-ab.html 888-995-1279
I used Mackies in Oshawa about 7 years ago.
Enclosed trailer from Florida to Toronto about $1,400. Cad $
No issues with transportation.

It has to go 2140 KM's or 1330 Miles.
I will get a quote from TFX, they have a super easy online form.
Please keep us in the loop as I'm interested in those costs as well. :cheers:

So Far I have $2700 CAD plus tax from Mackie. I won't lie, that's more then I was expecting. Still waiting for the others.
Has anyone used a smaller shipping company? I'd like to compare but can't find a single one.

Did you try calling the one I listed above LeBlanc Trucking ?

I am waiting on a quote.
To finish up this thread because a couple of people were interested:
TFX: $1750 plus tax
Le Blanc: $1800 Plus tax.
That's about the range I thought it would be :('

I had only your expertise to rely upon, this is not something I plan to do often in my life.
Have you ever asked them to ship spare parts at the same time? I have to call back and tell them the car I am considering comes with a spare hood. As much as I would like to have the original in need of restoration hood, if it costs more to ship it then it does to buy a new one and restore it locally, I'd leave it behind.
I've never had that come up.
I do not transport in Canada, but I can tell you for single car personalized service in the U.S. the price would have been approx
$2350.00 American.

I have used Mackie consistently, they provide door to door service with all paperwork completed for you.
My customers have used Turbo-Auto Transport with good results.
