Vehicle transport in Surrey, BC. Local Movers Ltd loads and delivers cars, motorcycles and small vehicles from Surrey across BC and Canada, with secure tie-downs and careful handling, on its own or with your move.
Honest hourly estimate. No obligation.
Most moving companies will take your furniture and leave your second car sitting in the driveway. We don’t. Local Movers Ltd transports vehicles from Surrey across BC and Canada. Cars, motorcycles and small vehicles ride inside our trucks with secure tie-downs and wheel straps, and they get the same careful handling we give a piano. We’ve been running moves out of east Surrey for 6+ years, hundreds of jobs, with our own crews on every one.
The work comes in two shapes. Some jobs stand alone: a sedan that has to reach Kelowna before you fly, a motorcycle sold to a buyer in Calgary, a scooter headed to a kid at school. Others ride along with a household move, so your car crosses the Port Mann with the rest of your life instead of forcing two drivers across the province. We run the routes our moving trucks already run every week. Highway 1 east through the Fraser Valley, the Coquihalla up to Kamloops and Kelowna, and long hauls into Alberta and beyond. Pickups happen where Surrey actually parks: a driveway in Newton, a townhouse garage in Fleetwood, a tower parkade downtown.
Pricing works the way all our work does. We bill on time, the actual hours the job takes, billed in 30-minute increments after the minimum, and we break that down before we load. A vehicle added to a move you’ve already booked shares the truck and the trip, which is why so many customers bundle the two.
When people search for car shipping, they picture a big open carrier and a three-week delivery window. Ours is simpler. Your car rides in an enclosed box truck, strapped at the wheels, out of the weather and away from road debris. We load it in Surrey, we drive it, and we hand it back at the other end. A local hop or a run up the Coquihalla, the process is the same.
A bike can’t be strapped like a box. We load motorcycles upright, chock the front wheel, cinch soft tie-downs at the bars, and check every strap before the truck moves. Sport bike, cruiser or dirt bike, it arrives standing the way it left. Original mirrors, original paint, no rub marks from a bare ratchet strap.
Scooters, e-bikes, ATVs and other small vehicles use the same system: wheel chocks, soft ties, moving blankets anywhere paint could meet metal. The crews that handle our heavy item moves load your machine, so careful rigging isn’t a special request. It’s the default.
Vehicle jobs come to us two ways. Plenty ride along with a household move, your furniture and your car on the same booking, one crew, one bill, one delivery window. The rest are stand-alone runs, just the vehicle from point A to point B. Both are normal for us, and both get the same tie-down standard.
You pay for the hours the job takes, broken down before we start. Never a flat-rate guess.
The team that quotes your vehicle run is the team that loads it and drives it.

Here’s the whole pricing story. We bill on time. You pay for the actual hours your job takes, billed in 30-minute increments after the minimum charge, and you see the breakdown up front. No guesswork, no padded invoice, no surprise fee at the end.
Four things decide how many hours a vehicle transport takes.
A hop across the Port Mann is a short day. The Coquihalla to Kamloops, or Highway 1 into Alberta, is a longer one. For runs past the Lower Mainland we plan it the way our long distance movers plan a full household haul: real route, real hours, told to you before we load.
A sedan that starts, steers and rolls loads in minutes. A motorcycle takes chocking and strap work. A vehicle that doesn’t run needs a conversation when you book, so we arrive with the right ramp setup and enough hands.
A car added to a move you’ve already booked shares the truck, the crew and the drive, so the added hours stay small. A stand-alone vehicle run carries the whole trip on its own. Bundling is usually the cheaper path.
A flat driveway with room for a 5-ton truck keeps loading quick. A tight parkade with a low clearance bar means we stage on the street and add time. Tell us what both ends look like and the estimate will match the bill.
We do this at volume. Local Movers Ltd is one of the largest delivery partners for IKEA, Cozey and Samsung, and the same crews run vehicle transport 7 days a week. Call (778) 242-2877, tell us what’s moving, and we’ll give you the hourly rate, the crew size and the minimum in about 5 minutes.
A prepared vehicle loads faster, and faster is cheaper when you’re billed on time. Here’s what we tell every customer before pickup day, whether the truck is loading on a quiet cul-de-sac or out of a parkade in Surrey City Centre.
A recent stand-alone run started in Port Kells, the industrial pocket at the northeast corner of Guildford where the light-industrial parks sit north of Highway 1 and the acreage sits south. The vehicle was a sedan parked at a strata warehouse bay off 188 Street, one of the office-and-warehouse units that fill this corner. The owner was moving out of province and didn’t want the days of solo driving.
The bay had a flat loading apron with room for a 5-ton, so ramps went down right at the unit. The car rolled up under its own power, and we strapped it at the wheels so the suspension could flex on the road instead of fighting the ratchets. From there it’s a short pull to Exit 53, where 176 Street, the Pacific Highway freight route, meets Highway 1, and the truck was on the Trans-Canada east inside 10 minutes.
Here’s the honest framing. A stand-alone single-vehicle load like this runs a 2-person crew, billed on the loading window plus the drive, told to you before we roll. No flat-rate guess. The acreage side of Tynehead, with a long gravel acreage driveway on the Tynehead side, loads differently than a paved warehouse apron does.
We bill on time, on the actual hours the job takes, billed in 30-minute increments after the minimum, and we break that down for you before we load. We don’t quote a flat rate, because a motorcycle across town and a sedan headed to Alberta are very different jobs. Call us at (778) 242-2877, tell us the vehicle and the route, and we’ll walk you through the numbers.
Yes. Your car or motorcycle can ride on the same booking as your furniture, one crew, one plan, one bill. Bundling usually adds fewer hours than booking the vehicle as a separate trip, because the drive is already part of your move.
Yes. Motorcycles load upright with the front wheel chocked and soft tie-downs cinched at the bars, then every strap gets checked before the truck moves. Cruisers, sport bikes and dirt bikes all travel this way. Tell us the make when you book so we set up the right anchor points.
Secure tie-downs are the whole job. We strap the vehicle at the wheels so the suspension can flex on the road instead of fighting the straps, use soft ties anywhere a strap could touch paint or chrome, and check tension again before pulling away. Your vehicle rides inside the box, out of the weather.
From Surrey across BC and across Canada. That covers local runs around the Lower Mainland, the Coquihalla up to Kamloops and Kelowna, Highway 1 east into Alberta, and longer hauls beyond that. The same crews that run our long distance moves handle the vehicle runs.
Four things handle most of it. Leave about a quarter tank of fuel, photograph every panel and any existing scratches, clear out your personal items, and hand us a spare key while you keep your main set. The full prep list is on this page, and we go over it again when you book.
No. Our own crew, every time. The Local Movers Ltd team that books your vehicle is the team that loads it, drives it and delivers it. Nothing gets handed off to a broker or a third-party carrier.
We’re open 7 days a week. Vehicle pickups often need to line up with possession dates, ferry sailings or flights, so weekend and short-notice slots matter. The sooner you call, the better your odds of getting the exact day you want.
Yes, and we do it often. Plenty of our vehicle runs collect a car or bike straight from a strata warehouse bay in the Port Kells industrial parks north of Highway 1, where the loading aprons are flat and there’s room for a 5-ton to set ramps at the unit. If the pickup is a Tynehead acreage property to the south instead, with a longer gravel driveway, tell us when you book so we plan the right approach. Either way we’re a short pull from Exit 53 and Highway 1.
