What to Look For in a Toronto Car Shipping Company
It’s very easy to fall for car shipping scams today as scammers are getting more creative than ever. Check out our blog on The Top 5 Car Shipping Scams (And How to Avoid Getting Ripped Off).
For the most part you want to look for:
- Proper Licensing and Insurance
- Reputation & Reviews
- Local Expertise
- Transparent Pricing
Proper Licensing & Insurance for Car Shipping
A legitimate company operating out of Toronto, should have proper licensing and insurance to protect your vehicle from damage during transportation.
All car haulers/truck drivers in Ontario should have a Full Class AZ Licence. Additionally all transport companies should have Cargo Insurance, Commercial Liability and General Liability Insurance. This will protect your vehicle from damage before, during and after transport. However, it’s important to note that insurance does not cover the contents of your vehicle.
Any commercial vehicle operator operating out of Ontario must have a valid Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Certificate (CVOR).
For more information on proper credentials and insurance read our full blog.
Reputation & Reviews For Auto Transporters
The number one way to verify the legitimacy of a car transporter is to look at what real customers are saying about them.
Verifying a company through their Google Reviews is always a good first step, however we also recommend that you get referrals from family or friends who have used the company in the past. By getting real-life testimonials and referrals you can generally avoid sketchy car haulers.
Abrams Auto has over 100+ Customer Reviews with a 4.7 star rating on Google plus our top source for new customers is through referrals!

Pricing for Shipping Your Car from Toronto, Ontario
The cost of shipping your car varies depending on your pick up and drop off location. For the most accurate pricing information submit your information for a FREE quote from our team.
When it comes to pricing you should definitely shop your rate, however we always say that if a price feels too good to be true, it probably is.
If a transportation company requires you to pay more than a 20% deposit upfront, that should be a big red flag. With Abrams Auto, payment is due upon pickup of your vehicle, no sooner, and there will be no hidden fees or additional charges.
