Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from London to Calgary

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

Canada's 15-year import rule means vehicles manufactured over 15 years ago (or buses older than Jan 1, 1971) are generally exempt from strict Transport Canada safety/emissions standards, making them easier to import, but still require CBSA inspection, duty/tax payment (GST), and provincial registration. Newer vehicles (under 15 years) must meet rigorous Canadian standards via the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) program, facing significant hurdles unless they already have Canadian certification.

The cheapest method of transport is generally through a multi-car carrier or rail transport.
