With Le Plan Pas Con, the owner responds to you personally and the movers are always in a good mood. Their reputation is outstanding with over 800 Google reviews out of 5 stars and 28 years of experience.
With a humane approach, their service is especially helpful for small 1 to 2 bedroom moves.
With Le Plan Pas Con, it is best to book in advance, especially during the summer, as they have limited availability.

With an impressive 30-man crew, Flex Déménagement is the ideal solution for large moves. In addition, this moving company offers basic insurance at $2.00 per pound of broken item, which covers more than the standard for other movers.
They also offer a unique service, allowing you to purchase your packing supplies online and have them delivered directly to your home.
For very heavy items that cannot be disassembled over 600 lbs (Ex: grand pianos, safes, pool tables, very large gym equipment), this company is not the best option as they are less specialized in this area.

The owner of Déménagement Sympathiques, Damien, will answer you personally. With 37 years of experience, they are the most experienced movers on this list. As their name suggests, the company has a friendly approach to their customers, which is reflected in their 5-star Google reviews out of over 475 reviews.
They offer all kinds of moving services, but mainly specialize in transporting art and sculptures, which was actually the only service they offered in their early days.
However, they do not do piano moves.

Whether you’re moving locally a bit further away from or to Montreal or within the Greater Montreal areas such as the South Shore or North Shore, finding a rated moving company with professional movers and quality moves is important. You want a smooth and efficient moving process without hidden fees or surprises on moving day. That’s why customer service, packing services, and storage services are also key factors to consider.
When choosing from the many Montreal movers rates and prices, consider the experience of the moving companies in Montreal and their reviews from satisfied customers. A highly recommended and experienced team can provide professional packing and unpacking services, as well as affordable moves for both residential and commercial customers.
With years of experience and competitive prices, you can trust a professional moving company to move your belongings with a great job done on moving day. Don’t hesitate to get a free quote from MovingWaldo to compare and book the best Montreal movers for your needs.
To operate in Quebec, moving companies with heavy vehicles weighing 4,500 kg or more must be registered with the Commission des transports du Québec (CTQ). We only select registered companies. To be registered, they must meet several conditions, including:

BBB stands for Better Business Bureau and is a North American organization whose mission is to help buyers and sellers trust each other. Its rating is based on the number of complaints that a company may receive and how the company handles these complaints. We aim to recommend companies with a minimum rating of A- or higher.
CAM stands for Canadian Association of Movers. It is Canada’s only trade association for movers whose goal is to help its members evolve in the industry, while setting a standard of ethics and practices for moving companies. While it is a great way to gain credibility, not all moving companies are part of CAM.

Hourly pricing is the most commonly used pricing model in Montréal. It’s simple, the company will provide you with an hourly rate and charge you based on the time it takes to complete your move. The more prepared you are, the less it will cost.
In your quote, movers will provide you with an estimated labor time, so they can precisely estimate the final cost.
Services considered in the labor time:
To cover travel time and fuel, movers may charge you for the time it takes them to drive to and from their office. Alternatively, they may charge a pre-established truck fee, which will be based on the distance to be driven and the size of the truck.
Certain services are included in the final price such as: basic insurance (release value protection), moving blankets, moving equipment and sometimes wardrobe boxes.
All moving companies in Montréal have diverse fee-related policies. Generally, packing and unloading specialty items will be an added cost to your moving bill for their fragility (extra protection required), weight (more workers required), and extra space they may take up in the truck (additional truck required).
The moving company may charge extra fees for heavy items like sports equipment and appliances. Extra stair fees (above 2nd floor) and overnight or storage fees (if the move was not completed in one day), may be charged. Also, fuel fees could apply, especially for longer distances.
There are two types of moving insurance protections: release value protection and full value protection.
Release value protection covers the damages happening in the moving truck and can cover $0.60 per pound of the damaged item. The cost is typically included in the price and there is no deductible.
Whereas, full value protection applies to damage done in the moving truck and in your home. This can cover anywhere between $5 to $10 per pound of the damaged item. Expect to pay at least a few hundred dollars for full value protection, and know that there is a deductible and that it will vary.
The best time of the year to move in Montréal is in the fall or winter. Choosing to move during these two seasons will make you save time, but more importantly money. It’s during these times of the year that movers have more availability.
The months of the year with the lowest rates are October through May, excluding December. We recommend that you move not only during the winter, but on a weekday, Monday through Friday, where you will save hundreds of dollars compared to the summer. Please note that all moves during the Summer months are more expensive because of the higher demand.
