I recall seeing the odd Ferrari and Maserati on the 747 Combi Aircraft (main deck cargo). I don't think that the current fleet could transport a car with the exception of perhaps a Smart Car turned sideways!

If I had the time, I would drive it to Alberta!!
Always been a dream of mine to go across Canada East to West and stop wherever I'd like to. |
Both me and Bro had shipped cars via the rail. One problem is that we are 2 car families driving both is usually difficult. One advantage of shipping our minivan via CN is that we "stuffed" the van with boxes so the $900 we paid from YYZ to YEG included many boxes and luggages. That was a few years ago so things may have changed.
One thing for sure, if I were to do a cross country move again, I would be selling and rebuying, much easier, no inspections etc. |

should be around 1100 by train - includes insurance. any good car dealer can arrange for the same.

When I was in Riyadh I remember seeing a company that would airship your Lambo or Ferrari to the south of France so that when you took a trip to Europe to avoid the desert heat in July/August you could still rip around in your sports car violating every law imaginable.
For the OPs sister in law I'm sure land transport is the way to go. That is how everyone else, e.g. the military when you move cross-country, does it. |

What is the name of the company you have used?
http://www.brookfieldgrs.com/ And now that I think about it, they outsourced to Hansen's! Which has been mentioned earlier in this thread. |

Used Hansen's in the Spring to ship car from Vancouver to GTA. Cost for SUV was about $1400. The car goes by train in an enclosed car.
Would definitely use them again if needed. Both times, we were given a long delivery window but it came faster than expected. AC could use some tips on how to arrive on time / early ;) Go Hansen's. l. |

My sister-in-law, is moving to Alberta after Labour Day. She will need her car at the new job.
The question is how does the car go there. She can drive - but she prefers not to have to do that, if other feasible options are there. Can one ship a major item such as an automobile with AC - if so, what might be the cost from let us say YOW to YEG? What are the costs and practicalities and limitations of shipping via alternate means - ie by moving companies vans, or via train, or via other means? |
