Route overview
Moving from Montreal to Saguenay
Saguenay is a long-distance route in the true sense: Highway 20 to Quebec City, then Route 175 north through the Laurentides wildlife reserve to Chicoutimi, Jonquière or La Baie. Loading is planned for a long road with a stretch of hills and few stops, and the delivery window is confirmed when you book.
Moving from Montreal to Saguenay covers about 465 km: Highway 20 east to Quebec City, then Route 175 through the Laurentides wildlife reserve to the boroughs of Chicoutimi, Jonquière and La Baie. Work relocations, families returning to the region and students heading to UQAC are the usual reasons for the trip, and most deliveries are houses with driveways rather than apartments.
UnBox runs a dedicated truck, loads with extra strapping and protection for the long road, and quotes by the route with an indicative starting price of $950; the final amount is confirmed in a personalized quote once we know both addresses, the volume and any heavy items. Winter conditions on Route 175 are part of the planning for cold-season dates.

FAQ
Montreal to Saguenay — common questions
How much does it cost to move from Montreal to Saguenay?
Montreal to Saguenay moves start at $950. This is an indicative starting price, not a quote. The final price depends on the volume, the crew and time the move needs, access at both addresses, any heavy or specialty items and any options such as packing; it is confirmed in a personalized quote before you book.
Do you deliver to Chicoutimi, Jonquière and La Baie?
Yes. All three boroughs of Saguenay are quoted on this route, as are nearby towns such as Alma; share the exact address for the estimate.
How is the delivery timed on a route this long?
We confirm a delivery window when you book, based on the load size and the season. The drive itself is planned with the Route 175 stretch in mind, and we tell you if a two-day plan is safer.
Do you move students to UQAC?
Yes. Smaller loads heading to Chicoutimi for studies are quoted on the same route, with the truck sized to what is travelling.
