Movers carrying boxes up to a student apartment near a Montreal campus

Student Moving

Student Movers Montreal

Most student moves are a room or a small apartment — near McGill or Concordia downtown, or over by UdeM and UQAM — so they don't need a big crew or a big truck. UnBox keeps it quick and simple with an honest hourly rate, a team that handles walk-up stairs, and dates that flex around the school year.

Built for Montreal Student Moves

Student apartments near the campuses are often walk-ups with narrow staircases and tight entryways, and street parking can be scarce — so the crew plans the stairs, the carry and the parking rather than being surprised by them. Montreal's busiest moving dates land in late summer, right when September leases start, so booking early matters. You're charged for the small move you actually have, with a clear estimate before the day.

Pricing

Student Moving Pricing in Montreal

A student move is priced on the small move you actually have, not a full-house rate. What you pay depends on the crew and time required, the distance, the stairs and whether there's an elevator, and any packing you'd like. You'll see a clear estimate before you book — ask us about the current hourly rate for a small move.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you move single rooms or small apartments?

Yes — that's most student moves. We size the crew and truck to a small load so it stays affordable and quick.

Can you move near McGill, Concordia, UdeM or UQAM?

Yes, we cover all the main campus neighbourhoods downtown and around the Université de Montréal and UQAM, plus the surrounding areas.

How early should I book for September?

As early as you can — late August and July 1 are the busiest dates of the year in Montreal, and September move-ins near the campuses fill quickly.

Is it affordable for a small move?

Yes — you're charged for the time and crew the move actually needs, not a full-house rate, and you see the estimate before you book. Ask us about the current hourly rate for a small move.

Can you handle walk-up stairs?

Yes — student apartments are often walk-ups with narrow staircases, and the crew plans for the stairs and tight turns as part of the move.

Can you help with a mid-semester or short-notice move?

Often yes, depending on availability. Reach out with your date and we'll check — a short-notice student move is usually a quick, small job.

Do you take apart beds and desks?

Yes — beds and desks are taken apart when they need to clear stairs or doorways, and put back together at the new place.

What should I share when requesting a quote?

Your pickup and drop-off addresses, the campus area, roughly how much is moving, the floor and whether there's an elevator or walk-up stairs, and your date. That's enough for a quick, accurate quote.
