Montreal to Ottawa Movers
Montreal to Ottawa is a two-hour, roughly 200 km run that we treat as routine. We load in Montreal, cross into Ontario, and unload in Ottawa or the Valley the same day in most cases — quoted flat, with the provincial line adding nothing to your bill.

Getting out of a Montreal walk-up
The load is usually the demanding half of this move. Exterior staircases in the Plateau, Verdun and Rosemont, narrow interior turns in older triplexes, and street parking that has to be arranged rather than assumed.
We plan the Montreal end in detail — floor, staircase, door widths, where the truck can legally sit — so the morning runs on a plan instead of improvisation.
Landing in Ottawa, where we actually live
The Ontario end is home ground. Whether you're headed for a Centretown apartment, a house in Orléans or Kanata, or further out into the Valley, we know the parking rules, the building requirements and the traffic.
That local knowledge is the part you can't buy from a carrier dispatching from far away — and it's why the afternoon of this move tends to go quickly.
Language, paperwork and the border that isn’t one
Moving between provinces sounds more complicated than it is for household goods: no customs, no manifest, no special permits. It's a drive.
What does matter is the ordinary stuff — booking elevators at both ends, confirming parking, and having someone reachable on the phone all day. We handle those, in plain language, from the quote through to the last box.
“Had a great experience moving from Ottawa to Holland Landing! The crew was professional, punctual, and handled everything with care. They made a long-distance move feel easy and stress-free.

Is moving from Quebec to Ontario complicated?
Not for household goods. There is no customs process or special permit — it is a straightforward two-hour drive. The planning that matters is elevators, parking and access at both ends, which we take care of with you.
Can you deliver beyond Ottawa into the Valley?
Yes — Renfrew, Arnprior, Pembroke, Petawawa and the surrounding communities are our home area, delivered at normal rates with no remote-area surcharge.
