Long-Distance Movers from Ottawa
Ottawa sits four and a half hours from Toronto and two from Montreal, which makes most long-distance moves out of the capital a same-day or next-day dedicated run rather than a shared load sitting in a terminal for three weeks.
What's included
You get a flat, guaranteed price based on an inventory we take with you — not an estimate that gets revised once the truck hits a scale. Your shipment stays on one truck with one crew from door to door, and you get a delivery date in writing when you book.
- Guaranteed flat-rate pricing from a video or in-home inventory
- Dedicated truck — your shipment is never co-loaded without consent
- Written pickup and delivery dates, not a 10-day window
- Full-value protection available on every shipment
- Real-time driver updates and a single point of contact
- Optional short or long-term storage in transit
Pricing
Flat rate — typically $2,400+ for a 2-bedroom to Toronto
Your written estimate is confirmed once we review access, parking and inventory — and the invoice matches it. No fuel surcharge, no stair fee, no heavy-item fee.

- Ottawa → Toronto
- Ottawa → Montreal
- Cross-Canada

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.

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.

Ottawa to Toronto, delivered next morning
Flat quote from a video walkthrough, loaded Thursday afternoon, unloaded in Etobicoke by 10am Friday. Same crew both ends, which I gather is unusual. The price on the invoice was the price on the quote.

Three floors, no elevator, no drama
We were on the third floor of a walk-up on Churchill with a piano landing that has defeated two previous movers. The crew looked at it, took the railing off, and had the whole apartment loaded in four hours. Final invoice came in under the estimate.

Kanata to Barrhaven in one day
Four bedrooms out of Bridlewood and into Half Moon Bay, done between 8am and 5pm. They wrapped every piece of furniture before it left the house, which I'd never seen a mover actually bother to do. Nothing was scratched.

(613) 704-7378How much does it cost to move from Ottawa to Toronto?
A one-bedroom apartment typically runs $1,600 to $2,200, a two-bedroom $2,400 to $3,400, and a three-bedroom house $3,800 to $5,500. Those are guaranteed flat prices based on an inventory, not estimates that get revised at a weigh scale.
When will my belongings arrive?
Ottawa to Toronto or Montreal is normally same-day or next-morning delivery. Longer runs to the Maritimes or Western Canada are quoted with a firm delivery date in writing at the time of booking, not a ten-day window.
Will my shipment be combined with someone else's?
Not without your written consent. Our standard long-distance service is a dedicated truck for your shipment alone. Shared loads are only offered when a customer specifically asks for the lower price and accepts a wider delivery window.
