Auto Shipping by Rail in Canada
Shipping a car across the country by train is a good option to transport a vehicle when you have a long distance to cover. Depending on the car transport distance, there are a few options available for shipping.
Decide how you want your car shipped. There are two ways to ship a car by Rail – on an open auto rail carrier or enclosed rail car carrier where your car is protected from weather and flying debris. This is a good option if you are shipping a luxury vehicle.
Using a train to transport your vehicle is one of the most economical ways to move a car long distances. Trains usually offer lower car shipping rates than trucks, especially over long distances.
Why should I ship by Rail?
- Protect your Vehicle – Many rail carriers are covered and keep the elements away from your vehicle. This protects your paint job from road debris. This could be a big help if your car ends up in a hailstorm.
- Wear and Tear – Needless to say, shipping your vehicle will save wear and tear compared to hiring someone to drive it across the country or driving it yourself. Saving thousands of miles on the odometer can help conserve the value of your car.
- Stay Green – Shipping a vehicle on rail is the “greener” way to ship. Trains are more energy efficient then trucks and emit less carbon dioxide. Over a long hauls, shipping cargo by train can help reduce the effects of global warming.
- Cost Efficient – Trains can move a tremendous amount of cargo in a single load which makes them incredibly cost efficient. Your delivery may take longer but it will save you money.
