Default Enclosed Shipping for C7 Ontario to Calgary

I might have found a car in Ontario and I'm looking for suggestions on companies that could do enclosed shipping form Ontario to Calgary. The other option might be to ship it to our house in Tucson AZ and drive it back to Calgary in the spring. I'd like to get quotes on both options.

Please let me know who I should contact.

Thanks,
Bob

Try TFX, I have used them twice before and was happy with their service.

I don't know if they have enclosed service or not, but we've used Hansen's (https://www.lhf.com/) for relocation moves from Halifax - TO, TO - Vancouver, Vancouver - St. John's NL, and St. John's NL - TO.

They weren't enclosed, but didn't have any issues other than dirt (especially the Vancouver - St. John's NL one!)

I've had hit/miss with Hansen's. The loading of cars on to the railway, (their preferred method for cross country) usually results in damage to the underside of the front bumper and to the air dam.

While it is an ingenius idea and with lot's of darwin award potential, and at one point, the guy does mug for the camera, I would stay away from this car courier.

True professionals, they seem to have this perfected. They look to outside of North America or I would look to use them next time around.

Thanks all. Found a car locally and don't need to worry about shipping any longer
