Moving Longueuil to Halifax

Long-distance move between Longueuil and Halifax

From Longueuil, the truck heads straight onto Highway 20 east to Rivière-du-Loup, then crosses New Brunswick through Edmundston, Fredericton and Moncton to Halifax. The trip is about 1,235 km.

This route is not one of our published packages: we organize it like our other long-distance moves, with furniture protected for the road and a price set by free quote, based on your volume, access and date.

Our company is based in Longueuil, so the truck leaves from close to your home. Whether it is a Saint-Hubert house, an Old Longueuil plex or a condo near the metro, we plan the crew around your volume. For a local move, see our Moving Longueuil page.

When leaving Longueuil, clear the driveway or the space in front of the door the day before so the truck can park as close as possible. In a tower in Old Longueuil or near the metro, book the service elevator and loading dock with building management.

Halifax is on Atlantic time, one hour ahead of Quebec: keep this in mind when setting the arrival appointment. In downtown buildings, book the service elevator; for a house, describe the access and where the truck can park.

For an interprovincial move of this length, prepare a detailed inventory of furniture, boxes and fragile items. Keep your documents, a first-night box and the keys with you; in Halifax, one person on site guides unloading room by room.

The route from Longueuil to Halifax

From Longueuil, Highway 20 leads to Rivière-du-Loup, then Highway 85 crosses Témiscouata into New Brunswick. Route 2, the Trans-Canada Highway, goes through Edmundston, Fredericton and Moncton; in Nova Scotia, Highways 104 and 102 lead to Halifax through Truro.

Allow about 12½ hours of driving, not counting breaks: a trip of this length is usually done over more than one day. Note also that Nova Scotia is on Atlantic time, one hour ahead of Quebec. The delivery date is agreed with you when you get your quote.

Preparing your move from Longueuil to Halifax

A move to another province takes a little more preparation: a detailed inventory, clearly labelled boxes and a list of the valuables you carry yourself. Also think about the steps that come with changing provinces, such as your driver’s licence, vehicle registration and health insurance.

Pack a suitcase for the days on the road and your first days in Halifax. Tell us if some furniture needs to be taken apart or if some items need special protection.

Leaving Longueuil: access and parking

In Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park, most houses have a driveway: keep it clear on moving day so the truck can get close to the door.

Near the Longueuil metro and in downtown towers, book the elevator and loading dock with building management. To park on the street, check with the City of Longueuil.

Arriving in Halifax: access and parking

On the Halifax peninsula, especially in the South End and North End, older houses often face narrow streets; in Dartmouth, Bedford or Clayton Park, there are more houses with driveways and buildings with elevators.

Tell us where the truck can park, and book the elevator if you are moving into a building. In winter, overnight parking bans may apply: check the rules with the Halifax Regional Municipality.

How the price of a move to Halifax is set

This route is not one of our published packages: the price is set by quote, based on your move. It mainly depends on four things:

  • Volume: the number of rooms, pieces of furniture and boxes to load, which determines the truck and crew;
  • Access: floors, outdoor stairs, elevator and the distance between the truck and the door, at both ends;
  • Date: prices may vary during the peak period, in late June and early July;
  • Added services, such as packing, a piano or a pool table.

Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote: give us both addresses, your preferred date and a list of your furniture. You can also call us at 514-703-6147.
