Route overview
Moving from Ottawa to Montreal
Moving from Ottawa to Montreal is one of our most common routes. UnBox runs a dedicated truck so your belongings aren't mixed with other loads, coordinates access at both ends and handles the Montreal end in French.
Ottawa to Montreal is a two-hour, 200 km run down Highway 417, and one of the routes we handle most often — loaded in Ottawa in the morning, unloaded in Montreal the same afternoon for most homes.
The Montreal end shapes the day: an exterior staircase in Villeray, a service elevator to book in a downtown tower, or a narrow Plateau one-way where the truck needs a spot reserved in advance. Our crews work in French with building managers and landlords. Apartments, condos, houses and offices all move this direction on a dedicated truck.

FAQ
Ottawa to Montreal — common questions
How long does an Ottawa to Montreal 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 Ottawa to Montreal?
Ottawa to Montreal moves start at $750, with most between $750 and $1,800 — the same method as the outbound route. What you are moving, the crew size, stairs or elevators and packing decide the final estimate.
Can you move apartments and condos to Montreal?
Yes, and it is the most common load on this route. Tell us the neighbourhood and the floor — a third-floor walk-up in the Plateau and a downtown condo with an elevator are very different days for the crew.
Do you offer packing for Ottawa to Montreal moves?
Yes. Packing is an add-on on the quote — everything, or just the fragile items. Well-packed boxes also make a narrow Montreal staircase considerably easier.
Do you also move from Montreal to Ottawa?
Yes — see our Montreal to Ottawa movers page for the outbound trip on the same route.
