What a move
costs in Canada
Typical ranges from our completed moves, what pushes a price up or down, and the fees you’ll never see on our bill. For your exact number, the quote tool takes about a minute.
By home size
Local moves are billed hourly from the time the crew arrives. Long-distance moves are a flat rate based on distance and volume.
| Home size | Crew & truck | Typical hours | Local move | Long-distance (~500 km) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | 2 movers, 16 ft | 3–4 | [$XXX–$XXX] | [$X,XXX–$X,XXX] |
| 2 bedrooms | 3 movers, 20 ft | 4–6 | [$XXX–$X,XXX] | [$X,XXX–$X,XXX] |
| 3 bedrooms | 4 movers, 26 ft | 6–8 | [$X,XXX–$X,XXX] | [$X,XXX–$X,XXX] |
| 4+ bedrooms | 4–5 movers, 26 ft+ | 8–10 | [$X,XXX–$X,XXX] | [$X,XXX–$XX,XXX] |
| Small office (10 desks) | 4 movers, 26 ft | 5–7 | [$X,XXX–$X,XXX] | Custom quote |
Six things that change your quote
Local moves are priced by time; long-distance moves by kilometres and route. Remote and northern routes may add a travel fee, always shown upfront.
The number of rooms and large items sets the crew size and truck. An accurate inventory is the best way to an accurate price.
Long carries and tight stairwells take longer — but we never add separate stair, elevator or fuel fees.
Month-ends, summer weekends and July 1 in Quebec are the busiest days. Mid-week, mid-month moves are usually easier to book.
Packing yourself saves money; full or fragile-only packing saves time. Either way, it’s itemised on your quote.
Storage between homes, disassembly, junk removal and specialty items are added as separate, visible lines.
$0 hidden fees
The price only changes if you add items or services on the day — and your crew lead confirms any change with you in writing first.
- No stair or long-carry charges
- No elevator fees
- No fuel surcharges
- Pads, floor runners and wardrobe boxes included on residential moves
- Free rescheduling up to 48 hours before your move
- Arrive within your 2-hour window, or your first hour is free
Five ways to pay less
Move mid-week and mid-month
Demand peaks at month-end and on weekends. A Tuesday on the 15th is usually easier to book than a Saturday on the 30th.
Declutter before you price
Every item you sell, donate or recycle before moving day is one less item to carry. We also offer junk removal if you’d rather not deal with it yourself.
Pack the easy rooms yourself
Books, linens and clothes are quick to pack. Leave the kitchen and fragile items to us with fragile-only packing.
Be ready when the crew arrives
Boxes sealed and labelled, beds stripped and a clear path to the door keep the clock moving on hourly local moves.
Give us an accurate inventory
The right crew and truck size the first time means no surprises on the day.
