How much do movers cost in Montreal?
Moving costs depend on the size of your home, the distance, access at both addresses and the date you choose. Here is a general idea of what to expect.
Local move cost
Local moves within Greater Montreal are priced as a flat fee based on your inventory, access and packing needs — not by the hour. A typical 1–2 bedroom apartment move usually falls in the lower range, while larger homes with stairs or full packing cost more.
Long distance move cost
Long distance moves — to Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto or across Canada — add distance, fuel and travel time to the price. We confirm a guaranteed delivery window and a flat fee before your move day, so there are no surprises.
How to calculate moving expenses
To budget for your move, start with the basics and add the services you need:
- The size of your home and how many items you are moving
- The distance between your pick up and drop off addresses
- Access: elevators, walk-ups, outdoor stairs and parking
- Packing services and materials (boxes, bins, wrapping)
- Special items like pianos, safes or large artwork
- Storage between your move-out and move-in dates
Factors and considerations that affect moving costs
Size of your move
More rooms and furniture mean a bigger truck, more movers and more time.
Distance
Local moves are priced differently from long distance moves across Quebec or Canada.
Access & stairs
Walk-ups, outdoor staircases and long carries take extra time and care.
Date & season
Weekends and the weeks around July 1st are the busiest — and book up fast.
Packing services
Full or partial packing saves you time and protects fragile items.
Special items
Pianos, safes, antiques and artwork need special equipment or crating.
Easy ways to save money and cut moving costs
- Book early, especially for June and July moves
- Choose a weekday or mid-month move date
- Declutter and sell or donate what you don’t need
- Pack non-fragile items yourself
- Reserve elevators and parking ahead of time
- Rent reusable plastic bins instead of buying boxes
