Get exact quotesHow small moves are priced
A small move is billed like any local move — by the hour — so the minimum booking decides most of the price. Here are the usual minimums by city.
| City | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Toronto | From 1 to 4 hours. Three hours is the most common minimum. |
| Montréal | Usually 2–3 hours of work plus 1 hour of travel. One mover has a $500 local minimum. |
| Vancouver | Usually 2–3 hours. One mover asks for 4 hours, one has no minimum. |
| Calgary | 2 hours for 2 movers and 3 hours for bigger crews is the norm. |
| Ottawa | 3 hours is most common; some movers ask for 3.5–5 hours. |
| Hamilton | Usually at least 3 hours. |
| London | From 1 hour at one mover and 2.5 hours at another, up to 3 hours at most. |
| Kitchener | Usually 3 hours. |
| Winnipeg | Mostly 2 hours; one mover asks for just 1 hour, others 2.5–3 hours. |
| Halifax | 3 hours is most common; a few movers ask for 2. |
| Edmonton | 3 hours is most common; some movers ask for 2. |
| Victoria | 2–3 hours is typical; one mover asks for 1.5 hours. |
| Québec City | Four of six movers ask for 3 hours of work plus 1 hour of travel. |
| Saskatoon | Usually 3 hours; some movers ask for 2.5. |
Why the minimum matters
Most movers charge for at least 2–3 hours of work, plus travel time. A job that takes 90 minutes still costs the minimum, so ask about it first. A few movers have a 1-hour minimum or a flat drop-in rate, such as $199 plus tax.
Single items
For one item — a couch, an appliance — movers usually ask $150–$300 for a local move with two movers, or a flat fee.
Studios
A studio usually takes 2–3 hours of work, so it often costs little more than the minimum.
Loading help only
171 movers offer loading help without a truck: you rent the truck, they do the lifting. In Toronto, two helpers for two hours average about $270.
What to ask before you book
- The minimum number of hours, and whether travel time is on top
- Whether they offer a flat price for your items
- Any truck, fuel or stairs fee
- Whether they can come the same day or next day
- How they will protect the item and your floors
