The price

What affects the cost of a move?

Two moves at the same hourly rate can have very different totals. Here's what makes the difference.

Crew size

A bigger crew costs more per hour but usually finishes faster.

Number of hours

Local moves are billed for the time the crew is on the job.

Pickup & drop-off

Where you're moving from and to shapes the day and the travel.

Travel time

A one-hour travel fee covers local travel between addresses.

Stairs & elevators

Extra floors, walk-up stairs or an elevator booking add time.

Parking & loading access

A longer carry from the truck to the door adds time.

Heavy or specialty items

Pianos, safes and oversized pieces take longer and the right equipment.

Packing assistance

Optional packing and unpacking is added to the estimate when requested.

Move size

A studio and a four-bedroom home simply aren't the same job.

Long-distance routes

Out-of-town moves are quoted by route rather than the local hourly rate.

How billing works

Clear billing, no surprises.

  • The hourly rates shown are starting rates — the crew size sets the rate.
  • Local moves are billed by the hour, based on crew size, from the time the crew starts.
  • A one-hour travel fee applies to local moves; fuel and standard local travel are otherwise included.
  • A 3-hour minimum applies to local moves.
  • Taxes are additional, and your final price is confirmed once we review the move details.
  • Long-distance moves are quoted by route rather than the local hourly rate.

FAQ

Pricing questions

How much do movers cost in Montreal?

Our starting hourly rates are $120/hr for 2 movers, $165/hr for 3 movers and $220/hr for a 4-mover or larger crew. The final total depends on the crew size, the hours and your access — you get a clear estimate before you book.

How is the hourly rate calculated?

Local moves are billed by the hour based on the crew size, from the time the crew starts, with a 3-hour minimum and a one-hour travel fee for local travel.

Is travel time charged?

A one-hour travel fee applies to local moves to cover travel between addresses. Fuel and standard local travel are otherwise included.

Are moving blankets and furniture protection included?

Yes. Moving blankets, furniture protection, dollies and moving equipment are included on every move.

Do stairs or elevators affect the price?

They can add time to the move, which factors into the hourly total — there's no separate stair fee. Tell us the floor and access and we'll estimate accordingly.

Do heavy or specialty items cost extra?

There's no flat heavy-item fee. Pianos, safes and oversized pieces can add time and need the right equipment, which factors into the hourly total — flag them when you request a quote.

How are long-distance moves priced?

Long-distance moves are quoted by route rather than the local hourly rate. Share both addresses and the access for a route-based estimate.

Are taxes included in the displayed hourly rates?

No — the displayed rates are starting hourly rates before taxes. Taxes and your final price are confirmed once we review your move details.
