Moving Costs and Pricing in Montreal

How much do movers cost in Montreal?

Moving in Montreal costs around $90 to $180 per hour, depending on the truck size, complexity of the move, and the number of movers involved. Most Montreal moving companies charge on an hourly basis, including travel time to cover fuel, labor costs, and truck maintenance from the moment they leave their base until they return.

What affects moving costs in Montreal?

The moving cost in Montreal depends on:

  • Time of the year: Peak summer moves, especially the dates around July 1, cost more, with the colder off-peak months from November to March being the cheapest. Also, the dates at the beginning and end of the month are more expensive than mid-month dates.
  • Travel time: Long-distance moves in Montreal cost more than local moves. Montreal movers will charge an extra fee to travel from their base to your home or office. In most cases, this cost equals one hour of labor.
  • Number of movers: More movers raise labor costs, so the more movers included in your move, the more you’ll pay. The volume of your items, the accessibility of your building, home, or office, and the type of service requested determine the number of movers.
  • Accessibility: Lack of parking, long walking distances, narrow streets, and stairs with multiple flights will increase labor time and the cost of your move.
  • Service level: Professional packing, white glove moving, moving specialty items, packing and unpacking, and insurance add to the cost.
Are moving services in Montreal charged hourly or by a flat rate?

Our moving services in Montreal are charged by the hour, especially for local relocations. For long-distance moves, we may use flat-rate pricing.

Can I get cheap and affordable movers in Montreal?

Yes, you can get cheap and affordable movers for your Montreal move by booking a move during mid-month dates, doing your own packing, avoiding peak season moving, and comparing multiple moving quotes.
