Moving Montreal to Cornwall

Long-distance move between Montreal and Cornwall

From Montreal, the truck takes Highway 20 west to Vaudreuil-Dorion, then continues on Highway 20, which becomes Highway 401 at the Ontario border, to Cornwall. The trip is about 115 km.

This route is part of our long-distance moves: your furniture is protected with blankets and strapped in the truck, and both loading and delivery follow a schedule agreed in advance.

Whether you are leaving a Rosemont apartment, a West Island house or a downtown tower, we plan the crew according to your volume. For a local move, see our Moving Montreal page.

On the narrow streets of Montreal’s central neighbourhoods, plan space for the truck several days before the move: a permit may be needed depending on the borough. In a tower, book the service elevator and loading dock with management.

Cornwall, the Ontario city closest to Quebec, sits on the St. Lawrence, across from New York State. A large share of its population speaks French, and you will find French-language schools, services and businesses there.

This route is not one of our published packages: we organize it like our other long-distance moves, with a price set by free quote. Even though it crosses into another province, this short move is easily done in a single day.

The route from Montreal to Cornwall

From Montreal, the truck takes Highway 20 west through Dorval and Île Perrot to Vaudreuil-Dorion. It then continues west on Highway 20 to Rivière-Beaudette, where it becomes Highway 401, and exits at Cornwall.

Allow about 1 hour 20 minutes of driving, not counting breaks; traffic around Montreal can lengthen the trip at rush hour. Loading, the drive and delivery are done on the same day. Cornwall is in the same time zone as Quebec.

Preparing your move from Montreal to Cornwall

Even for a short trip, moving to Ontario involves a few steps: exchanging your driver’s licence, registering your vehicle and signing up for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Plan them as soon as your date is set.

Make an inventory of your furniture and tell us about heavy or fragile items. Keep your ID, your lease or purchase papers and your keys with you.

Leaving Montreal: access and parking

When leaving Montreal, check with your borough: a permit may be required to reserve the space in front of your door, with a lead time of 24 hours to 5 business days.

In a building, book the service elevator and let the superintendent know the loading time; in a plex, tell us about outdoor staircases and narrow passages.

Arriving in Cornwall: access and parking

Cornwall mostly has single-family and semi-detached homes with driveways, as well as low-rise rental buildings near downtown and Pitt Street.

Tell us where the truck can park and, if you are moving into a building, book the elevator with management. Check on-street parking rules with the City of Cornwall for moving day.

How the price of a move to Cornwall 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.
