FAQ — shipping from Montreal and buying a car in Canada
Answers to the questions we hear most often about container shipping out of Montreal, buying a vehicle in Canada from Africa, and consolidating parcels. Each answer links to a detailed guide.
Buying a car in Canada from Africa
- Can I buy a car in Canada without travelling there?
- Yes. Many clients find the vehicle remotely, have its condition checked, then hand the preparation and shipping to us in Montreal. Velox Logistics coordinates the logistics; we are neither a dealership nor a customs broker.
- How do I have a car inspected before buying?
- Ask the seller for the vehicle history and have an independent mechanical inspection done before any payment. Our guides explain what to ask for and what to check.
- How many vehicles fit in a container?
- It depends on the container size and the real dimensions of the vehicles. We confirm the loading plan with you before booking, based on exact measurements.
Container shipping from Montreal
- Where do your shipments depart from?
- All our international shipments leave Montreal. We pick up cargo across Quebec and Ontario, then load at our Saint-Léonard warehouse.
- Do you offer RORO shipping?
- No. We ship vehicles in containers only, which lets you load personal effects or other cargo in the same shipment.
- Which documents are needed for a vehicle?
- At minimum: proof of ownership, the purchase invoice, and identification for shipper and consignee. Destination requirements change — confirm them with the destination customs authority or ask us before you buy.
Consolidation, parcels and quotes
- Can I send only a few boxes?
- Yes. Consolidation lets you share a container with other shipments going to the same destination instead of booking a full container.
- How do I get a rate?
- Send us the destination, the type of cargo and the dimensions or number of vehicles. We reply with a written rate: we do not publish fixed prices because they depend on volume, destination and current conditions.
- How do I track my shipment?
- Once booked, we share your shipment references and stay reachable on WhatsApp for the whole journey.
