Last-Minute & Emergency Movers in Ottawa
Closings collapse. Landlords change the date. The company you booked six weeks ago stops answering the phone the morning of the move. None of it is your fault and all of it is still your problem at 8am.
How we run this service in Ottawa
We hold reserve crews every single day precisely for this, which is why we can frequently cover a move within 24 to 48 hours — and sometimes the same day — when the rest of the city is booked solid.
Emergency work is billed at our normal hourly rate. There is no panic premium. Call as early in the day as you can — short-notice jobs are dispatched straight from the phone.
Reserve crews held daily
We deliberately keep capacity unbooked every day so short-notice jobs have somewhere to go. It is the whole reason a 48-hour turnaround is realistic with us.
No emergency surcharge
Last-minute moves are billed at the same hourly rate as one booked six weeks out. Being in a bind is not a pricing opportunity.
Storage the same day if you need it
If your new place is not ready, the load goes into heated storage and comes back out on 48 hours' notice. It is the standard answer to a failed closing.
Packing crews on short notice too
If nothing is packed, we can send packers alongside the movers. Materials come on the truck, so an unpacked home is not a reason we cannot come today.

We plan and protect
Your crew arrives inside a two-hour window, walks the home with you, lays floor runners, and blanket-wraps every piece before it leaves the room.

Same day
Placed, reassembled, done
Furniture goes where you want it, beds go back together, and boxes land in the right rooms. You sign off only once you have walked the truck and it is empty.

Packed our condo in a single afternoon
I booked packers two days before the move because I'd badly misjudged how long a kitchen takes. Two packers arrived with all the materials and were done by 4pm. Every box was labelled by room. Genuinely the best money I spent on the whole move.

Booked on Tuesday, moved on Thursday
Our closing got moved up with almost no notice and everyone else I called was full. They had a crew available in 48 hours and still showed up on time with a proper truck. Saved us from a hotel week.

Great crew, tight parking on Montreal Road
The crew was excellent and careful. Only note is that parking on Montreal Road cost us about 40 minutes of shuttle time — worth arranging a permit in advance if you're downtown. They warned me about it beforehand, to be fair.

Talk to a real move consultant in Ottawa — Mon–Sat 7am–8pm · Sun 8am–6pm.
(613) 704-7378Can you move me today in Ottawa?
Often, yes. We hold reserve crews daily for exactly this. Same-day depends on the time you call and the size of the move, so call as early in the day as you can — short-notice jobs are dispatched straight from the phone.
Do you charge more for a last-minute move?
No. Emergency and same-day moves are billed at our standard hourly rate with the same single $95 travel charge. There is no short-notice premium.
My closing fell through and I have nowhere to put my things.
That is a same-day storage job and we do it regularly. The load goes from the truck onto inventoried, shrink-wrapped pallets in our heated warehouse, and comes back to your new address on 48 hours' notice once your date is confirmed.
