About Shipping in Ottawa
Ottawa, Ontario is Canada's capital city, located on the south bank of the Ottawa River across from Gatineau, Quebec. The city serves as a mid-point logistics hub between Toronto and Montreal along the Highway 417 corridor. Government and diplomatic activity generates steady demand for vehicle transport services.
Highway 417 (Trans-Canada) provides direct east-west connectivity to Montreal and Toronto. Winter conditions are significant, with heavy snowfall from December through March affecting transport schedules. Proximity to the Quebec border means some shipments route through Gatineau for regional deliveries.

RV Shipping FAQ — Ottawa
Common questions about shipping rvs in the Ottawa area.
How much does it cost to ship an RV?
RV shipping costs typically range from $1,000 to $5,000+ depending on the RV type, size, distance, and transport method. Towable units on shorter routes start around $1,000-$2,000, while large Class A motorhomes on cross-country moves can cost $3,000-$5,000 or more. Drive-away service is often the most cost-effective option for drivable RVs.
How long does RV shipping take?
Transit times depend on distance and transport method. Regional moves (under 500 miles) typically take 3-5 days, mid-range routes average 5-8 days, and cross-country transport usually takes 8-14 days. Drive-away service may be faster since it doesn't require carrier scheduling.
Is my RV insured during shipping?
Yes, every RV shipment includes comprehensive cargo insurance. For drive-away service, our drivers carry full liability coverage. We recommend documenting your RV's condition with interior and exterior photos before pickup. Supplemental coverage is available for high-value units.
What types of RVs can you ship?
We transport all types of RVs including Class A, B, and C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, pop-up campers, and truck campers. Our carrier network includes specialists for every RV category and size.
Should I choose drive-away or tow-away service?
Drive-away is ideal for drivable motorhomes and is often more affordable for long distances. Tow-away is required for travel trailers and fifth wheels, and is also a good option if you prefer your motorhome not to accumulate road miles. We'll recommend the best option based on your RV type and route.
