We also have snowbird specials promotions for vacationers that are looking to ship their vehicles from eastern Canada to Florida. Additionally we have some seasonal promotion for East coast to West Coast car shipping from Toronto to Vancouver and vice versa, this is to let our clients take advantage of the difference in seasons and road conditions between eastern and western Canada.

Vancouver Moving Companies - House ImageWe can execute apartment, condo and house moves in and around the Vancouver BC area locally and the lower mainland. Our trucks range from 1 ton to 5 ton. When booking your Vancouver movers make sure to give us a detailed list of items to be moved so that we can select the proper truck size needed for your Vancouver movers. Sometimes the truck can be too small but also too big in some circumstances. Getting the right truck size for the move is crucial and we can assist you in making the right decision. To help your Vancouver movers select the appropriate truck size please request to have an estimator show up at your moving location for a free no obligation quote. But generally, for a 1-2 bedroom condo/house/apartment move a 1 ton truck is appropriate for anything larger a 5 ton truck is recommended.

When booking your Vancouver movers please make sure to give us at least 2 weeks notice to make sure we have a slot available. Booking your movers early also gives you the best spots available. Moving rates can also vary depending on the time of the month and the season, relocating at month's end is more expensive and mid month more economical. It is recommended to move out as far away as possible from the end of the month where all moving companies are overtaxed and sometimes over booked. Try to move mid week and get the first spot in the morning. Make sure the elevators are booked at both locations to help you Vancouver movers execute the move with as little distractions as possible.

Vehicle Shipping

vehicle shipping by truckIn addition to move cars, we also ship all sorts of vehicles across Canada the USA and the world. Unlike other vehicle shippers, we have a multitude of options to choose from, shipping vehicles by train, rail, air and sea. It all depends on what kind of vehicles you need transported. Cars are usually shipped by train in the summer as they are less prone to outside weather conditions. In the winter, vehicles might be shipped by closed truck as they will be protected from the environment. Of course, RV and Motor home moving can't usually be shipped by truck since they are wider than the actual standard 8 feet width of trucks in Canada and the USA.On the other hand snowmobiles, Jet Skis, small motor craft and recreational shipping of vehicles is done by truck and vehicle shippers usually opt for that option regardless of season be it in Canada or the US. The reason for this is that small vehicles are too small to fit on open rail cars or open trucks, when saying by truck it means moving rigs or vans, small vehicles can be consolidated with residential furniture loads through appropriate crating and positioning the truck's cavity. RV and Motorhome moving needs to be done on special rail cars or flat deck trucks. Some times a drive away service might be the best solution for RV and Motorhome shipping across Canada, the same applies to Yachts, sailboats and other large vehicle moving needs.

Cross Canada Movers Long distance rates are based on weight and in return weight is based on cubic meters. Obviously, density plays a part in the equations since a cubic foot of marble weighs more than a cubic foot of feathers, however, with accurate calculations and our extensive experience we can estimate the total cost of the move with an approximate 10% accuracy rate. Final cost will be based on actual weight as measured on certified provincial and federal highway regulated scales.

Choosing your Vancouver Movers

If you are looking to hire a Vancouver moving company there are a few things you will need to take under consideration. Basically what you need to worry and enquire about can be summarized in six major parameters. How is their BBB record? What is the condition of the moving trucks? What is their insurance coverage? Do they carry packing supplies and boxes or not? How long have they been in business? What kind of moves do they specialize in?

We are a unique moving company in Vancouver in that we are able to offer firm written quotes on our moves. Having a firm written quote means there are no surprises and you can anticipate the final cost of the move before moving day. Please contact us for a free no obligation estimate in person from one of our professional estimators at your Vancouver home or office.

Additionally, we offer moves based on an hourly rate. Our basic rate for 2 men and the truck is (contact for current rates) per hour (depending on numerous factors, please contact us for details) per hour, the time starts when the truck leaves the office to it's return, this is what is called "traveling time" and is an industry standard. Traveling time is usually no more than 30 minutes depending on your Vancouver or lower Mainland location in relation to our office. Please call us or contact us for details.

Vancouver packing and moving service is per hour for 2 men + cost of packing supplies unless you provide your own. Please visit our packing supplies page for rates and available box sizes and packaging materials. Average box cost ranges from $2.95 to $5.00.

How is your Vancouver mover's BBB record? Do they even have one? Are they members? You can check either way, Vancouver movers that are members or not can have complaints against them. While the movers are not always necessarily fully responsible as their can be other factors, a lack of complaints or very few is usually a very good indication.

What is the condition of the moving trucks? In Vancouver where the weather is good, the truck body should also be in good condition. A nice paint job and clean logo are indications of the kind of moving services you will get on the day of the move. Attention to detail shows that the Vancouver moving company in question will actually care about your belongings. Also make sure the trucks have all the equipment required to make the move go more smoothly.

Do they carry boxes and packing supplies or not? While this might not seem to be directly related to the move itself. It can be an indication as how much the moving company cares about their clients. Boxes and packing supplies should be available for pick up and if the moving company has an online ecommerce boxes and packing supplies solution that is even better. It shows that they are serious about doing business with you.

How long have they been in business? While they might not need to be in business for one hundred years like the major van lines and large moving companies...being less than a year old Vancouver mover could be risky. Try to hire movers that have been in business for at least 3-5 years.What is their specialty or do they even have one? Sometimes a jack of all trade can be handy but at other times you might need a specialized moving company, depending on your needs before telling them what you need done. If you need a piano move ask them how many pianos they have moved before and the type of pianos. Do the same about office moves or heavy machinery.If you follow all these guidelines and ask the proper questions you should be able to choose the best Vancouver Movers for your needs and have a smooth and pleasant move.

Why Vancouver Movers differ from other moving companies in major Canadian Cities


Because of the geography and economics of Vancouver Movers, moving rates and circumstances are not the same as in other major Canadian cities. Due to the higher cost of living, Vancouver Movers usually charge more per hour. The moving season also differs from east coast moving companies in Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa and Calgary. Because of the more clement weather, Vancouver Movers can pretty much move your furniture at any time of year making the moving service less "seasonal" than in other cities in Canada and the USA. You can move in the summer or the winter in Vancouver with very little difference short of the heavy rainfall in the winter. Of course it is advisable to you hire your Vancouver Movers on sunny days if possible but you just never know what the weather will bring! But as Vancouver Movers professionals we can protect your furniture no matter what the weather brings with moving blankets, tarps and by putting cardboard boxes on the floor to protect both your furniture and new home.
