Specifics of moving in Montreal
In Montreal, plex buildings, narrow staircases, streets with limited access, and restricted parking directly impact the duration and cost of a move. This is why an accurate estimate is essential, especially in neighborhoods such as Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Verdun, Ahuntsic, or Outremont.
These local realities are always taken into account in our quotes to ensure fair pricing with no surprises.

Time of year and its impact on rates
The hourly cost of a move in Montreal varies significantly depending on the time of year due to demand, crew availability, and city-specific logistics.
– July 1st – The most expensive moving day
July 1st is the busiest moving day in Quebec. Demand far exceeds supply, resulting in:
- higher hourly rates,
- limited availability,
- mandatory booking weeks in advance.
Moving on July 1st in Montreal usually represents the highest cost of the year.
– Peak season (June to August)
From June to August, Montreal experiences peak moving season:
- favorable weather,
- school vacations,
- strong residential and commercial demand.
Rates are generally higher, especially on weekends and at the end of the month.
– Off-season (October to April)
The off-season typically offers the best moving prices in Montreal:
- lower demand,
- greater schedule flexibility,
- more stable hourly rates.
Weekday moves during this period often lead to significant savings.
Tips to pay less
To reduce your moving costs:
- choose weekdays,
- avoid month-end and July 1st,
- book in advance, especially during peak season.
