Canada’s most-moved auto corridor
Toronto to Vancouver is Canada’s highest-volume domestic auto shipping route — driven by tech sector relocations, energy-industry rotations, interprovincial lifestyle moves, and families whose careers have pulled them coast to coast. At 4,400 km, it’s also the route where using a vetted freight coordinator matters most. Viamar manages the booking, the condition report, and the carrier coordination, giving you one point of accountability for the full coast-to-coast haul. Open transport runs year-round; enclosed transport is available for luxury, classic, and low-clearance vehicles. Door-to-door available across Greater Toronto and Metro Vancouver. We also offer terminal drop-off at our Courtice warehouse for customers with flexible pickup timing.

What to expect on the Toronto–Vancouver route
This is Canada’s longest domestic auto haul. Route, season, and service tier all affect your timeline.
Transit time
Open transport 7–14 days. Enclosed 9–16 days. Winter months (Nov–Mar) may add 2–4 days due to mountain pass conditions through the Rockies.
