To get to and from many city areas, people must hire a rental car or have a motor vehicle to navigate out-of-town areas.

Weather and Seasonal Considerations

Saskatoon's climate can significantly impact car shipping schedules. Winters often bring snow and icy conditions, potentially causing delays due to hazardous roads. Conversely, summer months may increase demand for auto transport services, leading to wait times longer. Planning your shipment with these seasonal factors in mind can help avoid unexpected delays.

Vehicle Preparation and Inspection

Before shipping your vehicle, it's crucial to prepare it properly. This includes cleaning the car, removing personal items, and ensuring the fuel tank is about a quarter full. Documenting the vehicle's condition with photos can provide a reference in case of any disputes. Upon delivery, conduct a thorough inspection to confirm the vehicle's condition matches the pre-shipment state.

Automobile Transport

Hiring an automobile transport company will ensure that your car will be taken care of during transport and arrive safely. You must ensure you have all the information necessary for customs and the shipping company handling your automobile shipment. You will need to give the transport company the following paperwork:

Driver’s License.
Social Security Card.
Copy of Motor Vehicle Title.
Signed Power of Attorney.

Your transport agent will review how automobile shipping works, what you must pay for shipping, and how the car will be transported. They will also let you know how to prepare the vehicle for transport. Preparation will most likely include some, if not all, of the following:

Vacuum and clean the car inside and out.
Fill all fluids.
Charge the battery.
I have about a quarter tank of fuel in the tank.
Disable security systems.
Remove all items from the interior and any removable items from the exterior.

Cleaning the car is suggested, as it will go through a pre-shipping inspection to check for any visible signs of damage just before it is loaded for transport. It’s easier to see if the car is thoroughly cleaned before the inspection.

Ways to Haul a Car

Transporting a car to Saskatoon can be done by using one of the following methods:

Open Car Carrier- An open transport carrier, or a RORO carrier, is a convenient way to haul many cars simultaneously. Cars are rolled or driven onto trucks or ships and then transported to the destination for delivery. Open transport is the primary way most automobiles are transported throughout the United States and internationally due to the convenience of shipping schedules, quick delivery times, and affordable pricing.

Enclosed Car Carrier—Motor vehicle owners who want extra safety during transport often opt to use enclosed car carriers or shipping containers to ship their motor vehicles. Enclosed carriers protect automobiles from flying debris on roadways and weather and debris when shipping by sea. They also protect the car from potential theft or vandalism and are an excellent choice for expensive automobiles.

Air Freight- Shipping a car via airplane is possible, but is usually reserved for the most priceless vehicles and personal goods. While air shipping is the quickest option, it has the highest price tag.

Paperwork and Customs

As you make your car shipment plans, you must submit paperwork to U.S. Customs to export the car from the United States. While customs state that the paperwork must be submitted within 72 hours before shipping the car, it is best to send the paperwork at least one to two weeks ahead of time, as often, there can be a backlog of paperwork to be processed. Your transport agent will ensure the paperwork is submitted on time. You will also need to send a copy of your motor vehicle title to Canadian Customs so it will be at the border crossing your car will go through. This also needs to arrive 72 hours before the car crosses the border. Taxes and import duties will be applied to all motor vehicle imports. You must check with Transport Canada to ensure your automobile meets Canadian motor vehicle standards. Generally, cars manufactured in the United States will conform. Still, if your car is an EU-manufactured automobile or from another country, you may need some mechanical modifications before shipping.
