Location.
Edmonton is the capital of Canada’s Alberta province, and the fifth-largest municipality in the country. Its location deep inland means the city itself has no port, but fortunately, gently rolling terrain and a vast network of rail and road connections provide easy trade access to destinations all over Canada and internationally.
What are my Logistics options?
- Roll-on/Roll-off Dispatch): The most economical option, Ro/Ro Delivery, involves driving your vehicle aboard a carrier and off again at the final destination. Vehicles are secured in place with heavy-duty straps during transit.
- Container Dispatch: Those with especially valuable vehicles may opt to use cargo containers rather than risk exposing them to the elements. This offers an additional layer of protection appropriate for antique vehicle transport and similar needs.
Also available is delivery, with door-to-door service providing the utmost ease by picking up your automobile at your front door and delivering it wherever you'd want inside Edmonton. While cheaper, terminal-to-terminal services require passengers to drop off and pick up their cars at the respective airport terminals.
Will I need to complete lots of paperwork?
Fortunately, close coordination between the US and Canadian governments has streamlined the shipping process, and it’s a relatively pain-free process. You will need to arrive with the following documents in tow:
- The vehicle’s original title, or a certified copy.
- Photo ID.
The title must be submitted to the border crossing at least 72 hours in advance, as per the aptly named US Customs 72-Hour Export Law. Note that some vehicles may also be restricted – check the Canadian Registrar of Imported Vehicles for an overview of exactly which ones are admissible into Canada.
How can I ensure my vehicle is prepared?
Following these steps will get your vehicle ready for shipping quickly:
- Clean and vacuum the car to speed up the inspection process.
- Hold onto personal effects – they should not be left in the vehicle.
- Check the functionality of the brakes.
- Conserve battery life by shutting off the alarm system.
- Remove external accessories, like bike racks or auxiliary antennae.
- Fill the fuel tank to roughly 25% of capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to Edmonton, Canada?
Shipping a car to Edmonton typically costs $900 to $2,400 USD from most U.S. locations. Pricing is driven by distance, vehicle size, transport type, and border processing requirements. Routes from the Midwest or West Coast tend to cost less than East Coast shipments. Seasonal demand and fuel prices also affect rates. For planning estimates, our international car shipping rates calculator helps benchmark realistic costs.
How long does international car shipping to Edmonton take?
Most shipments to Edmonton take 7–14 days door to door. Timing depends on pickup location, customs clearance, and carrier scheduling. U.S.–Canada shipments move faster than overseas transport but can slow during winter due to Alberta weather and border congestion. Enclosed carriers may take slightly longer due to limited availability. Transit time begins after pickup, not booking confirmation.
What documents are required to ship a car to Edmonton?
You need a vehicle title or lien authorization, government-issued ID, and a bill of sale if recently purchased. Canadian customs also requires advance vehicle data submission. If the car is financed, written lender approval is mandatory. Missing paperwork is the most common cause of delays. Our international car shipping team verifies documents before pickup to prevent border issues.
Is enclosed transport recommended for shipping a car to Edmonton?
Enclosed transport is recommended for luxury, classic, or high-value vehicles, especially during Edmonton’s harsh winter months. It protects against road salt, snow, and debris. Enclosed shipping costs about 30–50 percent more than open transport but reduces weather-related risk. Learn more about protection benefits on our enclosed auto transport page.
Can I ship a non-running vehicle to Edmonton?
Yes, non-running vehicles can be shipped to Edmonton using winch-equipped carriers. Expect costs to be $150–$300 higher than operable vehicles due to added labor and equipment. Vehicle condition must be disclosed upfront to avoid delays at pickup or customs. Transport type, clearance height, and unloading access also influence final pricing for inoperable units.
Does A1 Auto Transport offer door-to-door shipping to Edmonton?
Yes, door-to-door shipping to Edmonton is available in most residential and commercial areas. Accessibility depends on street width, local restrictions, and weather conditions. If direct access is limited, a nearby safe meeting point is arranged. Door-to-door service minimizes handling and transit time compared to terminal shipping. Details are outlined on our door-to-door auto transport service page.
