Why Ship With a Direct Carrier, Not a Broker?
Many car shipping companies online are brokers. They take your booking, then post your vehicle on a load board for another trucking company to pick up. Hanamark is the carrier, which means:
- Your car moves on Hanamark trucks only. It is never handed to another company.
- Your quoted price is your final price for as long as your quote is valid.
- Direct contact with our team from quote to delivery.
- Dedicated pickup dates available by phone when your timing is fixed.
- Your driver always calls ahead before delivery.

Driving vs Shipping Your Car from Calgary to Toronto
Driving 3,400 km yourself takes about 4 days at the wheel. Here is what a typical one-person drive costs, using rough estimates:
- Fuel: about 300 litres for an average car, roughly $450-$500
- Hotels: 3 nights, roughly $400-$500
- Meals: 4 days on the road, roughly $200-$250
- Hidden costs: 3,400 km of wear on your vehicle, 4 or more days away from work, and winter driving risk through Northern Ontario
That is roughly $1,050-$1,250 out of pocket before wear and lost time. Shipping lets you fly to Toronto while your car travels on our truck. Get your quote to compare.
Pickup and Delivery Areas
Calgary pickup: all four Calgary quadrants (NW, NE, SW, SE), plus Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, and Okotoks.
Toronto delivery: Toronto and the GTA, including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, and Oakville.
Door-to-door service is available wherever our truck can safely access your street. Otherwise, we arrange a nearby meeting point or terminal-to-terminal service.
Moving to Ontario? Registering Your Car After Delivery
If you are moving to Ontario, you will need to register your Alberta vehicle with ServiceOntario after it arrives. Out-of-province vehicles typically need a Safety Standards Certificate from a licensed Ontario inspection station, and you will need Ontario auto insurance. Check with ServiceOntario for current requirements and deadlines before you ship.
