Moving Montreal to Moncton

Long-distance move between Montreal and Moncton

Moncton, New Brunswick, is about 990 km from Montreal. The truck crosses to the South Shore, follows Highway 20 to Rivière-du-Loup, then Highway 85 and the Trans-Canada through Edmundston and Fredericton to Moncton.

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.

In 2002, Moncton became Canada’s first officially bilingual city; with Dieppe and Riverview, it forms Greater Moncton. The city is on Atlantic time, one hour ahead of Quebec: keep this in mind when setting the arrival appointment.

Greater Moncton is one of Canada’s fastest-growing urban areas: if you are moving into a new development, send us the exact address.

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 Moncton

The truck follows Highway 20 to Rivière-du-Loup, then Highway 85 through Témiscouata. In New Brunswick, Route 2, the Trans-Canada, passes Edmundston, Grand Falls and Fredericton; Route 2 then continues east to Moncton. The route stays entirely in Canada.

Allow about 10 hours 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 request your quote.

Preparing your move from Montreal to Moncton

A move to another province requires a little more preparation: a detailed inventory, clearly labelled boxes and a list of valuables you transport yourself. Also remember the steps related to changing provinces, such as your driver’s licence, vehicle registration and health insurance.

Pack a suitcase for the days on the road and the first days in Moncton. Let us know if some 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 Moncton: access and parking

Greater Moncton includes Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview. Most homes are single-family houses with driveways and apartment buildings of a few storeys; in downtown Moncton, some newer buildings have elevators.

Tell us where the truck can park and book the elevator if you are moving into a building. In winter, snow-removal parking rules may apply: check them with the municipality for your moving date.

How the price of a move to Moncton 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.
