Moving Montreal to Fredericton

Long-distance move between Montreal and Fredericton

From Montreal, the truck crosses the river through the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel and takes Highway 20 east to Rivière-du-Loup, then crosses Témiscouata and New Brunswick through Edmundston to Fredericton. The trip is about 810 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.

Fredericton is the capital of New Brunswick, Canada’s only officially bilingual province. Set on the banks of the Saint John River, it is home to the University of New Brunswick and runs on Atlantic time, one hour ahead of Quebec.

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. For an interprovincial move of this length, prepare a detailed inventory and keep your documents and keys with you.

The route from Montreal to Fredericton

From Montreal, the truck reaches Highway 20 through the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel and follows it to Rivière-du-Loup, then Highway 85 through Témiscouata. In New Brunswick, Route 2, the Trans-Canada Highway, runs through Edmundston, Grand Falls and Woodstock before reaching Fredericton. The route stays entirely in Canada.

Allow about 8 hours 15 minutes of driving, not counting breaks: a trip of this length usually takes more than one day. New Brunswick 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 Montreal to Fredericton

A move to another province takes a little more preparation: a detailed inventory, clearly labelled boxes and a list of valuables you carry yourself. Also plan for the steps tied to 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 Fredericton. Let us know if any furniture needs to be taken apart or if some items need special protection.

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 Fredericton: access and parking

Fredericton spreads along both banks of the Saint John River: the historic downtown on the south side, newer residential areas on the north side. You mostly find single-family homes and small apartment buildings.

Tell us where the truck can park and book the elevator if you are moving into a building. Near the universities, late August and early September are very busy: book your date early.

How the price of a move to Fredericton 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.
