Route overview
Moving from Montreal to Ottawa
Ottawa is one of the most common routes from Montreal. UnBox runs a dedicated truck for the trip, so your belongings aren't mixed with other loads, and coordinates access at both ends.
Montreal to Ottawa is the route we run most often — about 200 km on Highway 417, and a single working day for most homes. Because the drive is short, the day is planned around building access rather than around the highway.
We move one-bedroom apartments, condos that need a service elevator booked at both ends, full suburban houses and office relocations. Your load travels on a dedicated truck, and you get a delivery window confirmed at booking — so send both addresses early to sort parking and elevator access.

FAQ
Montreal to Ottawa — common questions
How long does a Montreal to Ottawa move take?
Most are same-day: the drive is about two hours, plus loading and unloading time. You get a delivery window at booking.
Is the price fixed?
You get a route-based estimate up front. The final cost depends on home size, access and add-ons, confirmed before you book.
How much does it cost to move from Montreal to Ottawa?
Montreal to Ottawa moves start at $750, and most land between $750 and $1,800. Where you fall in that range depends on how much you are moving, the crew size the job needs, stairs or elevator access at both ends, and whether you add packing. You get the estimate before you book.
Can you move apartments and condos from Montreal to Ottawa?
Yes — apartments, condos, houses and offices all travel this route. Tell us the floor, whether there is an elevator and how close the truck can park at each address, and the crew and truck are sized for it.
Do you offer packing for Montreal to Ottawa moves?
Yes. Packing is an add-on you can put on the quote — everything, or just the fragile items that need to survive two hours of highway. Ask for it when you request your estimate so it is priced in from the start.
Can you move from Ottawa back to Montreal?
Yes, we run the route in both directions and price it the same way. See our Ottawa to Montreal movers page for the return trip.
How far in advance should I book a Montreal to Ottawa move?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most dates. End of month and summer weekends fill first, so book earlier if your date is fixed by a lease.
