Why Shipping Your Car Is the Smartest Choice for Your Long-Distance Move

A long-distance move is exciting, a new city, a new chapter, a fresh start! But let’s not sugarcoat it: between packing boxes and saying goodbyes, figuring out how to get your car there shouldn’t be another cause for stress. Sure, driving it yourself sounds doable… until you factor in the time, fuel costs, wear and tear, and the joy of navigating traffic in unfamiliar territory. That’s why more Canadians are handing over the keys to pros like Hansen’s. We handle the entire car shipping process with safe and reliable service, so you can focus on your move without worrying about how your vehicle is getting there.

Protect Your Vehicle and Yourself

Driving thousands of kilometres can take a toll on both you and your car. Long-distance journeys expose vehicles to increased wear and tear, potential road hazards, and unpredictable weather. By choosing long-distance vehicle transport, you avoid adding unnecessary mileage, reduce the risk of breakdowns, and preserve your car’s value.

For drivers, the benefits are just as significant. Skip the exhausting days behind the wheel, costly hotel stays, and the stress of navigating unfamiliar highways or unpredictable weather. Instead, focus on settling into your new home while your vehicle is shipped safely and efficiently.

Convenience and Flexibility with Door-to-Door Service

One of the standout advantages of using Hansen’s is the convenience of door-to-door delivery. Our team arranges pickup directly from your current address and delivers your vehicle to your new location, without the need to coordinate terminal drop-offs or pickups.

Scheduling is simple and flexible. Whether you need to coordinate your vehicle’s arrival with moving day or require expedited shipping, Hansen’s works with your timeline. Our dispatch team, drivers, and fleet handle every detail, ensuring a seamless experience from the moment you book to final delivery.
