Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from Zurich to Toronto, Ontario

The cheapest international car shipping method is usually Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where vehicles are driven onto specialized ships, costing around $900-$2500+ but leaving cars exposed; for better protection, consolidated container shipping (sharing a container) is more affordable than dedicated containers, while air freight is the fastest but most expensive, best for luxury or rare vehicles, so compare RORO vs. shared containers for budget, destination, and vehicle value to find your cheapest option.

Canada's 15-year import rule means vehicles older than 15 years (or buses older than Jan 1, 1971) are considered age-exempt from strict Canadian safety/emission standards (RIV program), allowing easier import but requiring border checks, taxes (GST/PST), and provincial registration, while vehicles under 15 years old must meet Canadian standards via the RIV program, involving modifications and inspections.

The cheapest way to ship a car is by using an open transport carrier, choosing terminal-to-terminal service, booking in the off-season, allowing flexible pickup/delivery times, and comparing quotes from multiple companies like those found on platforms such as uShip or Shiply * *, though you should be wary of rock-bottom prices that might signal poor service.
