^ You're probably going to need to get Keys made, as you'll need to both turn on the ignition to steer it, and to put it in neutral. That'll cost you around $75-100 depending on who you call, but there are many mobile locksmith companies that can do that for you.

You can rent a truck and trailer from Shaw truck leasing, or Radars rentals I believe (perhaps they'd rent only the trailer). Driving Force rents trucks I know, and possibly trailers as well.

Avoid Uhaul, they're a disaster, and their trucks are piles of shit that should not be road legal.:thumbsdow

I was told by Jaguar that they cant make the key in Alberta. It has to be made in Tronto so i would some how have to relase to tranmission and steering lock for me to bring it here

I bought a car from an auction in edmonton, I had it delivered to calgary on the companys truck that was coming down to Calgary with other cars, Just ask the Salvage company if they have any cars that are being delivered to calgary, Is this Diamond Auto by any chance? If it is i think i can help you out because Im friends with the owner.

How about the fact he can't get his car out of park because he has no keys?
