Moving Montreal to Quebec City

Long-distance move between Montreal and Quebec City

The route between Montreal and Quebec City, about 250 km via Highway 20 or 40 along the St. Lawrence River, is one of the most common long-distance moves for residents of the greater Montreal area. Via Highway 40, the route follows the north shore of the river through Trois-Rivières; via Highway 20, it crosses the Centre-du-Québec region on the south shore. On arrival, Old Quebec, a historic district listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, often calls for special planning.

Déménagement Bon Avenir regularly carries out long distance moves between Montreal and Quebec City, with planning adapted to multi-hour trips: secure loading, coordinated scheduling and direct delivery.

Whether your move is from Montreal to Quebec City or from Quebec City to Montreal, our team takes care of every step with attention to detail for a stress-free long-distance move. We depart from Montreal, the South Shore and the North Shore of Montreal.

Planning your move from Montreal to Quebec City

Allow about 3 hours of driving between Montreal and Quebec City, depending on the route and traffic, plus loading and unloading time. We plan an early-morning departure so your belongings are delivered directly to your new address.

To estimate the volume, list your furniture and the number of boxes, including the basement, garage and storage areas. An accurate inventory lets us confirm the truck size and number of movers.

Arriving in Quebec City

In Old Quebec and some older neighbourhoods, streets are narrow, sometimes steep, and parking is limited. Depending on the area, a permit may be needed to reserve a space for the truck, so check with the City of Québec before moving day. For a condo, also book the service elevator at both the departure and arrival addresses.

Choosing the right date

Late June and early July are the busiest time of year in Quebec. For a long-distance move, book several weeks ahead; outside this period, it is easier to get the date you want.
