If you’re relocating across Canada or even to the U.S., you will want to get your vehicle to its destination as quickly, safely and cost-effectively as possible.
At Hansen’s, vehicle shipping by rail is an important part of the vehicle transport process, especially for long distances and large shipments. Whether you’re a snowbird looking to get your car to a sunny destination for the winter or a dealership or corporation shipping a fleet of new cars across the country, rail is an efficient transportation method. Combined, rail and truck shipping ensures you get the most efficient method of transportation when relocating your vehicle.
When planning the transportation of your vehicle, we will determine the most efficient route and method. Depending on the distance to travel and associated costs, we commonly combine methods (truck and rail) to ensure the best possible service.
Trains are a reliable and safe method to cover great distances and work well when transporting many vehicles at once. In addition, when door-to-door delivery is not needed, vehicles can be dropped off and picked up at our rail terminal offices to save on time and cost.
Through Hansen’s partnership with CPKC Railway, we utilize rail to transport to most major cities in Canada and use truck to provide door-to-door service as needed.
