L.H. Chapple can handle (or make arrangements) for the transportation of your automobile(s)and recreational vehicles. There are several options available depending on your specific situation.

On the Van

• In most cases at least one of your automobiles can travel on the moving van with your furniture ( peak period may be an exception).
  
• Your automobile is properly strapped down and plywood decking is erected to protect the vehicle from other items on board.
  
• For moves within Canada – the cost is on a per mile basis (exception is remote locations where charges are calculated on a weight basis).
  
• For moves to or from the United States – charges are calculated on a weight basis.
  
• Depending on size, recreational vehicles can travel on the van – charges are calculated on a space occupation basis (cubic space occupied).

By Rail, Auto or Specialty Carrier

• Items too large for the moving van will be transported by specialty third party carriers.
  
• Atlas has a network of worldwide third party carriers who can transport automobiles, boats and other recreational vehicles for our customers.
  
• We have carefully vetted these service providers to ensure that they are properly licensed and insured.
  
• Charges are based on third party charges plus a surcharge for making arrangements and pre-paying service (usually 10% of cost).

Things to Remember

• Leased automobiles can only be moved to another city or province with a letter of permission from leasing company – copy should be given to the moving consultant.
  
• Rarely will a leasing company permit an automobile be moved to or from the United States (or other foreign country).
  
• Do not pack any personal items in automobile to be transported – only spare tire and jack should be left in the trunk.
  
• Give a copy of the ownership, proof of insurance and spare key to moving consultant.
  
• Leave approximately ¼ tank of gas in automobile.
