The cost of a move between Ottawa and Montreal typically ranges from $1,200 to $4,500, depending on the size of your home (apartment vs. detached house), the time of year, and additional services like packing.

Yes. Because the drive between Ottawa and Montreal is approximately 2 hours via Highway 417, most residential moves can be completed in a single day. Our team typically loads in the morning and delivers to your new address in the afternoon, making it one of the most efficient interprovincial moving routes we offer.
In many Montreal boroughs like Le Plateau, Westmount, or Downtown, a reserved parking permit (temporary no-parking signs) is often required to ensure the truck can park close to your entrance. While the homeowner is usually responsible for requesting these from the local "Eco-Quartier" or city hall, our team can provide the truck dimensions and guidance needed for the application.
Yes. We have a dedicated team for specialty item moving. Moving a piano or high-value antique from Ottawa to Montreal requires climate-controlled transport and expert bracing to handle the highway transit. We use heavy-duty padding and specialized equipment to ensure your valuables arrive in the same condition they left.
While we move year-round, the best time to move between Ottawa and Montreal is typically from May to September. However, be aware of "Moving Day" in Quebec (July 1st), when demand is at its peak and traffic in Montreal is significantly higher. If you are moving during the winter months, our crews are fully equipped with floor protection and weather-proof wrapping to handle the snowy conditions on Highway 417 and the Autoroute 40.
Yes. We provide secure, climate-controlled storage for clients moving between Ottawa and Montreal. If your closing dates don't align, we can safely store your belongings in our Ottawa-based facility or arrange for partner storage in Montreal. This "Store-and-Deliver" service is perfect for cross-province moves where you might need a few extra days or weeks to finalize your new living arrangements.
