There are many different factors that affect the moving cost in Canada. It’s important to consider them when budgeting for a move and understanding what kind of services you will need. Here are the most common ones:
- Distance & timing. The farther away you choose to move from your current home, the more it will cost due to additional transportation expenses. Longer distances will typically require more time for loading and unloading, meaning that a larger truck is needed or extra trips are required. Additionally, there may be additional fees if you need to move outside of regular business hours or during peak season when demand is high.
- Size of the move. The size of your apartment is an important factor in determining how much you’ll need to pay. Bigger homes require more resources, which increases the cost of relocation. Even if you don’t have a lot of possessions, a larger place will still necessitate more effort from professional movers.
- Services provided. The types of services offered typically fall into two categories: full-service and self-service. Full-service includes all aspects of packing, transporting, loading, unloading and unpacking at your destination. Self-service allows you to pack yourself but have movers take care of the transport and unloading at your new home.
Here’s the average cost of hiring movers in Canada:
Size of home | Estimated time | Average cost |
Studio | 3-4 hours | from $300 |
1 bedroom apartment | 4-6 hours | from $400 |
2 bedroom apartment | 6-8 hours | from $600 |
