Moving to another city is a bigger project than moving across town. Your belongings spend hours or days on the road, handling increases, and the timing has to match a new job, a new school or a new lease. Many long-distance movers quote a low price and then add charges for distance, weight, stairs or delays. What you need is a clear plan, a firm price and a crew you can trust with everything you own.

How a long-distance move works

Quote. Tell us your addresses, home size, dates and special items. For larger homes, we do a video walkthrough.
Flat-fee price. You receive a guaranteed price that includes travel, fuel and labour.
Planning. Your coordinator confirms pickup and delivery dates, packing services and any storage.
Packing. Choose full packing, partial packing or pack yourself with our supplies.
Pickup. The crew wraps furniture, loads the truck in a planned order and secures everything for the trip.
Transport. Your belongings travel directly to your new city.
Delivery. The crew unloads, places furniture, reassembles beds and tables and removes wrapping.

Packing for a long trip

Long distances mean more vibration and more time in the truck, so packing quality matters even more. We use strong boxes, extra padding for fragile items, mattress bags, furniture blankets and stretch wrap. Valuable or fragile pieces such as art, antiques and glass can travel in custom crates. Boxes are loaded tightly and strapped so nothing shifts on the highway.

Long-distance moving costs

Factor	Why it matters
Distance	Travel time and fuel are built into your flat fee.
Size of your home	Inventory sets truck size and crew.
Access at both homes	Stairs, elevators and parking in both cities.
Packing services	Full, partial or self-packing.
Special items	Pianos, safes, art and antiques.
Timing	Peak summer dates and month-ends are in high demand.
Storage	Storage between homes if dates do not line up.

Because your price is guaranteed, traffic on the 401 or the 20 does not change what you pay.

Montreal to Toronto

The Montreal–Toronto corridor is one of the busiest in Canada. Moves between the two cities are usually completed in one or two days, depending on the size of the move and the schedule. Toronto condos often have strict elevator bookings and moving hours, so share building rules with your coordinator early. If you are moving for work, ask your employer whether relocation costs are covered; we can provide documentation.

Montreal to Ottawa and Gatineau

Many people move between Montreal and the National Capital Region for government jobs, universities and family. These moves are often completed in a single day. If you are moving across the provincial border, remember to update your health card, driver’s licence and vehicle registration according to provincial rules.

Montreal to Quebec City

Moves to Quebec City are common for jobs, studies and retirement. The Old City’s narrow streets and older buildings can make parking and access tricky, so we plan the truck location in advance. Moves around July 1 are busy in both cities, so book early.

Storage between cities

When your old lease ends before your new home is ready, your belongings can stay in our secure, climate-controlled storage in Montreal until delivery. We pick up, store and deliver on the date you choose.

Moving offices and businesses long distance

Opening a branch or relocating a company? We move offices, equipment and inventory between cities with the same planning as our commercial moves, including after-hours pickups and phased deliveries.

Long-distance moving checklist

Eight to twelve weeks before: book your movers, confirm dates and research schools, doctors and services in your new city.

Four to six weeks before: declutter, order packing supplies or book packing, and arrange utilities and internet at the new home.

Two to three weeks before: change your address with government services, banks and subscriptions, and plan travel for your family and pets.

The week before: pack an essentials bag for several days, empty the fridge and confirm building access at both ends.

Moving day: walk through with the crew lead, keep valuables and documents with you, and share your contact details for delivery.

Flat fee vs weight-based pricing

Many long-distance movers price by weight or by the cubic space your belongings take up in a shared truck, then add separate charges for stairs, long carries, fuel surcharges and packing. The final bill often arrives after delivery, when it is too late to compare. NST works differently. After reviewing your inventory, we give you a guaranteed, all-inclusive flat fee that covers labour, travel and the services you choose. As long as your inventory stays the same, your price stays the same, no matter how long the drive or the unloading takes. That makes budgeting a long-distance move much simpler.

Dedicated trucks and direct delivery

Your belongings are loaded, transported and delivered by our crew, following the plan agreed with your coordinator. Because the move is planned around your dates, you know when the truck will leave Montreal and when to expect it at your new home. Furniture is wrapped, boxes are stacked tightly and fragile items are secured in protected areas of the truck. On arrival, the same care applies: furniture goes to the rooms you choose, beds and tables are reassembled and wrapping is taken away.

Moving with children and pets

A move to a new city is a big change for children. Involve them early, show them photos of the new neighbourhood and school, and let them pack a small bag of favourite things that travels with you. Plan the trip with breaks, especially for longer drives along the 401 or the 20. Pets should travel with you, never in the moving truck, with food, water, a carrier and their documents. Our family moving team can help plan a schedule that works for everyone.

Updating your address and documents

When you move to another province, several things need updating within set timeframes: your health card, driver’s licence, vehicle registration, insurance and voter registration. Within Quebec, you can change your address with several government departments at once through the province’s online address change service. Also notify your bank, employer, insurance providers, Canada Revenue Agency and Canada Post for mail forwarding. Keep important documents, such as passports, leases, school records and medical files, with you rather than in the truck.

What to keep with you on a long-distance move

Some things should never go on the truck. Keep passports, birth certificates, leases and closing documents, medication, jewellery, cash, laptops, chargers and important hard drives with you. Pack a bag with clothes, toiletries and essentials for several days, because delivery may happen a day or two after you arrive. For families, include children’s comfort items and snacks.
