Vancouver Moving Rates
How much does it cost to hire professional movers in Vancouver BC? This really depends on what kind of moving services you are requiring. Some moves can be charged by the hour and some can be charged by flat rate. This has to be determined on a case by case basis so it's very difficult to give you the rates online because so many parameters are involved.
The Vancouver Moving industry has become increasingly competitive since we started out in 1994 and we would rather either discuss you moving needs on the phone, in person or via or online Vancouver Moving Estimate forms.
However here are some guidelines as to what you can expect from Vancouver moving companies rates:
- Local Vancouver moves*:
Usually charged by the hour. Average hourly rates in Vancouver and the lower mainland between $60-$150 per hour. Most Vancouver Moving Companies also charge 30 minutes travelling time regardless of your location. This travelling time rate can be negotiated mid month and when things are slow, however at peak time every minute of the day needs to be paid for as the moving company is running very high expenses in labor and fuel cost at the end of the month.
Flat rate is also a possibility as long as we know exactly what is involved BEFORE executing the move. If everything is layed out clearly and there will be no surprises to both the client and our transport company, flat rate is sometimes an appropriate solution, especially for Vancouver Office Moves where the purchasing manager need to know how much the move will cost in advance.
- Canada/USA Long Distance Moves Rates
Will you require consolidated or the whole truck for yourself? Sometimes the loading can done by hour and then the long distance portion of the move could be done by cubic feet, pound or kilos. But usually it goes by cubic feet converted to weight. The estimator will take a detailed list of your belongings and based on the inventory and mathematical calculation estimate the weitght of the shipment, accuraccy is usually at about 20% for Canadian and USA long distance moves so you can get a pretty good idea how much your cross Canada relocation will cost you in advance. The first step is to fill out our long distance weight calculator form and then an estimator in addition to logistics software will be able to give you an idea of the cost of your future move.
