Transport Your Car Between Canada and the United States
Looking to move your vehicle between Canada and the United States? Our cross-border driveaway service offers a fast, reliable, and personalized way to transport your car – without the hassle of dealing with trucks or terminals. Whether you’re relocating, buying or selling a vehicle, or heading south for the winter, we make the process of moving your car between Canada and the United States simple and stress-free.
Leave the Paperwork to Us
Transporting a car across an international border without your presence comes with certain complications. At Cross Country Valet, we handle all the customs paperwork to make the transaction as smooth as possible for you.
U.S.-registered vehicles that are returning to the United States, or Canadian registered vehicles that are going to the United States on a temporary basis (for up to one year) can be handled directly by us with only a small amount of paperwork. If you are planning on importing your vehicle permanently to the United States, the process is a bit more complex, and we work with a Registered Importer to facilitate the Formal Entry process.
How Does it Work?
A driveaway service like Cross Country Valet means that your vehicle is driven personally from your home address to your destination address by an experienced, professional driver. This means fast delivery times, real-time communication, and no weight restrictions on how much luggage you can store inside the vehicle.
Compared to shipping your vehicle on a transport truck, a driveaway service is often:
- Quicker
- Lower-Cost
- More Customizable
- Less Restrictive
Why Choose Cross Country Valet?
Your Choice of Delivery Date
At Cross Country Valet, we work around your schedule – not the other way around. Whatever date and time you want your car delivered to you, we will make it happen. Many of our clients ask for their vehicles to be waiting for them at the airport when they touch down, so they can go straight from the airplane to the car. Our goal is to make your vehicle delivery as quick, convenient, and hassle-free as possible.
Load Up Your Car with Stuff
Unlike sending your car on a transport truck, there are no limits to how much stuff you can pack in your car when you work with us. Many trucking companies only allow up to 100 pounds of additional household goods to be stored in a vehicle that is being shipped to or from a destination south of the border. With Cross Country Valet, you can pack it full of luggage, boxes, and other household goods.
Trusted Team
of Drivers
Some other driveaway services outsource their driving jobs to strangers they find on online forums who are looking to take a road trip, requiring little more than a valid driver’s license from them. We do things differently. We work with the same team of professional drivers for each and every job, all of whom have been thoroughly screened and vetted. You can trust that your car is in safe and trustworthy hands with us.
Save Time & Money Versus a Truck
Sending your car with a driveaway service like ours is almost always less expensive than sending it on a transport truck. It’s also a lot quicker. Depending on your pick-up and drop-off addresses, we can typically get your car delivered to your destination in just 2-4 days. On a truck, it can take a full week or two, or sometimes longer. Choosing us means more time with your car and more money in your pocket.
FAQs About the Canada-USA Car Transport Service
How much does the Canada-USA car transport service cost?
The cost of the service to transport a vehicle between Canada and the United States is custom for each trip and depends on many factors including the specific date, the pick-up address, and the drop-off address. Reach out to us with your details to obtain an exact quote.
Are you authorized to transport vehicles across the U.S. border?
Yes, all we require from you is a letter indicating that you have given us your permission to transport your vehicle into the United States. As a registered commercial vehicle carrier with U.S. Customs & Border Control, we handle all the required paperwork and work with a customs broker when required to ensure a smooth transaction.
What about insurance?
The vast majority of Canadian car insurance policies come with permissive use insurance coverage. This means that you still have coverage if another driver operates your vehicle, as long as you have given them permission to do so. In the unlikely event that an at-fault insurance claim occurs while we are in possession of your vehicle, we will pay the deductible.
Can you deliver a car across the border in both directions (Canada to USA and USA to Canada)?
Yes, we can deliver cars in both directions. At this time, however, trips must either start or finish at a Canadian address. This means we can deliver a vehicle from an address in Canada to an address in the United States, or vice versa, but we are unable to deliver a vehicle between a U.S. address and another U.S. address.
Are you able to transport any type of vehicle?
We transport almost every vehicle type, as long as it has four wheels and requires a standard driver’s license to operate. The car has to be in drivable condition. We can also tow a small trailer upon request.
