Pricing

Local Moving Pricing in Montreal

Local moves are priced on the real work involved, not a flat guess. What you pay depends on crew size and time required, the distance between addresses, stairs and elevator access, parking and building access, any furniture or specialty items, and packing services if you request them.

FAQ

Common questions

What counts as a local move?

A local move is a short-distance move within Montreal and the nearby suburbs — usually under about an hour's drive between addresses. Longer trips are quoted as a route instead.

Is there a minimum charge?

Yes, a short hourly minimum covers the crew and truck. You'll see it in your quote before moving day.

Do you move to Montreal suburbs?

Yes. Along with the island, we cover nearby suburbs like Laval, Longueuil, the South Shore and the West Island as local moves.

How are local moves priced?

Local moves are billed hourly by crew size, plus a short travel fee, so you only pay for the time the move actually takes. Home size, access and add-ons shape the estimate.

Can you handle Montreal apartment walk-ups?

Yes. Walk-ups, spiral staircases and buildings without an elevator are routine for our crews. Share your floor and stair type when you book so we size the team correctly.

Do you move between Montreal, Laval and the South Shore?

Yes. Moves between Montreal and neighbouring areas like Laval and the South Shore are common local jobs, and we plan the route and access at both ends.

Can you help with a last-minute local move?

Sometimes, depending on crew availability. Calling is the fastest way to confirm a short-notice date.

What should I know about parking or building access on moving day?

Tell us where the truck can park and how far it is from the door at both ends. When there's no driveway or loading zone, we plan the closest legal spot to keep the carry short and the move quick.
