Save up to $500 on your move to Ottawa

      We faciltate moves from the Greater Toronto Area to the Greater Ottawa Area. Customers can save money on move costs by booking their move to Ottawa in conjuction with a move going to Toronto. By booking movers for a return trip in this manner, customers can save hundreds off their moving costs. For very small moves, similar savings can be realized through the Ottawa-Toronto Express delivery service.

      Pricing for these moves is based on an hourly rate for loading the contents onto the truck and then offloading at the destination plus a travel charge. The travel charge is billed at a flat rate and is based on a cost per kilometer one way from the Toronto location to the Ottawa location and then to our office. The cost per kilometer varies depending on the size of the crew, size of truck, and whether the move is taking place during a peak or non-peak period. Th travel charge covers all costs associated with getting the crew, truck, and cargo from Ottawa to the destination address in Toronto. These costs include labour, fuel, kilometers, meal allowances, hotel room and any other necessary services. Charging for travel time in this manner allows customers to better predict the cost of the move as poor weather conditions, accidents, detours, and other delays will not affect the cost.

      For example: You hire a 2-man moving crew at $100/hour to move your apartment in a return trip. Your move starts in Toronto at 8:00 AM and the crew finishes loading by 10:30 AM. Your crew starts unloading at your new home in Ottawa at 5:00 PM and finishes at 7:00 PM. The elapsed time for your move is 4.5 hours. You are billed a consolidated rate of $800 for 440 kilometers of travel.
Your bill totals to 4.5 hours x $100 = $450 (move) + $750 (travel) = $1250 + tax.

      In a dedicated move, the travel charge would have been around $1250 based on out standard charge of $2.85 per kilometer. By consolidating the move, you can save $500 off the travel charge. Some flexibilty may be neccessary with regards to date and time in order to take part in a consolidated trip. We usually have trucks returning from Toronto and the GTA a few times a month with stops along the way.
