The ShipLux Experience

Crossing a border is riddled with complicated details that can easily become confusing! Bypass this with ShipLux, and let us deal with the bureaucracy. 

The ShipLux experience includes premium service, stellar customer service, and a few options for safe shipping. 

You can opt between enclosed trailers and open carrier trailers for getting your car across the border. What's the difference? 

  1. Enclosed Trailers
    Considered a little more luxe, enclosed transportation means that your vehicle will be methodically loaded into a trailer that is completely covered. This means your precious vehicle will be protected from all elements that could negatively impact the vehicle during the duration of the trip ranging from bad weather, or hazardous debris.
    Regardless of the size of the vehicle you want to bring to and from the USA and Canada, we got you! We have a large range of enclosed trailers in varying sizes and shapes so the vehicle's height, weight, and size will be carefully considered.  Enclosed trailers are a more expensive option, so we recommend them to anyone who is shipping a vehicle with a high price tag or just a vehicle that is close to your heart. 

  2. Open carriers
    Open carriers do not have 360-degree protection, but it doesn’t mean you aren't getting our standard premium service. Your vehicle will be looked after with the same care and purpose.
    Open carriers are much better for the budget with the major difference when compared to enclosed shipping being the trailer the vehicle sits on is not closed off, but is open. Your vehicle will be loaded upon the trailer and secured using our safety equipment, ensuring it does not move throughout the journey. Upon reaching your final destination, you will likely put your vehicle through the car wash, and voila! Good as new!
    Shipping your vehicle and car to and from Canada from the USA (and vice versa!) has never been simpler! Whether this is a temporary or long-term visit, we can make it happen, without the stress.
