NordTrans performs long-distance moves from Montreal to destinations located up to about 900 km away. We most often go to Quebec and Ottawa, and we also serve Toronto. To assess the cost and choose a truck, we ask you for a detailed description of the goods to be transported and photos.
Long-distance moving from Montreal: where do we go?
We mainly carry out removals in Canada. If your destination is somewhere other than Quebec, Ottawa or Toronto, please provide us with both addresses so that we can confirm the route. Requests to the United States are considered on a case-by-case basis.
We usually use a 20-foot truck. Depending on the volume of your goods, we can arrange for a longer truck. The list of your furniture and boxes, along with photos, helps us check if everything can be transported in a single trip.
How the price is calculated
Travel time. We will separately count the distance from our parking location in Montreal to your first address, and then the return journey from your last address to our parking location at 99, rue Chabanel O, Montréal (QC) H2N 1C3.
Working time. This includes the loading of the truck, the route between your addresses, and the unloading at your destination. The disassembly and reassembly of the furniture are counted separately, at the same hourly rate as the loading and unloading.
Mileage charges. Fees of $0.92 per kilometer traveled between your addresses are added to the hourly billing. Confirm the rate applicable to your trip by phone at 514-591-5122 before booking.
The volume to be transported, the size of the team and access to both addresses also influence the estimate. Please indicate any stairs, narrow passages, bulky furniture and items that require special handling. For a trip in the Montreal area, please see our page on moving services in Montreal.
Delivery times and shared truck
We agree with you on the loading and delivery dates depending on the route and the volume to be transported. If two customers request transport on a compatible route and agree to share the truck, we can group their moves together. This formula allows for sharing part of the transport costs. The dates are then agreed upon taking into account the two moves.
Booking and deposit
Please plan to book at least a few days before the desired date to allow us time to assess the volume and prepare for the move. Send us your addresses, a list of items, and photos by email. Also include the furniture to be disassembled or assembled. This information helps us estimate the time required and prepare the team for any difficulties with access or handling.
NordTrans may request a deposit to confirm the reservation. The terms of the deposit are communicated to you at the time of booking and the amount paid is deducted from the balance.
Storing your belongings until delivery
If you need to vacate your home before you can move into the next one, we can transport your belongings to our heated warehouse in Montreal. We then deliver them to your new address on the agreed date. The first month of’storage in Montreal is free.
