Moving Montreal to Rimouski

Long-distance move between Montreal and Rimouski

Rimouski, the main city of the Lower St. Lawrence region, is about 540 km from Montreal. The truck leaves the island for the South Shore, then follows Highway 20 east through Drummondville, Lévis and Rivière-du-Loup before running along the river to Rimouski.

This route is not one of our published packages: we organize it like our other long-distance moves, with furniture protected for a long drive and a price set by quote.

From a plex in the Plateau to a downtown condo, we match the crew and truck to your home. For a move within the city, see our Moving Montreal page.

When leaving Montreal, plan the truck’s parking a few days ahead: depending on the borough and the street, a permit may be required, with lead times ranging from 24 hours to 5 business days. In an apartment building, also book the service elevator and let the superintendent know when loading starts.

Rimouski, a university town in the Lower St. Lawrence, has as many single-family homes as plex or apartment units near downtown and UQAR. Tell us the type of home, the floor and where the truck can park on arrival.

Over more than 500 km, an accurate inventory prevents oversights: large furniture, number of boxes and fragile items. In Rimouski, having someone on site to open up and guide the crew lets us place each piece on the first trip.

Planning your move from Montreal to Rimouski

Allow about 5½ hours of driving depending on traffic and weather, plus loading and unloading. The loading schedule and delivery date are planned with you when you get your quote.

Over such a distance, sorting before you go reduces the volume and therefore the price. Then make a full inventory, room by room, and group fragile items in clearly labelled boxes.

Leaving Montreal: floors, stairs and boroughs

Many Montreal homes are upstairs, with outdoor staircases that are sometimes spiral. Tell us the floor and the type of staircase so we can plan the crew and loading time.

Depending on the borough, a space may need to be reserved for the truck in front of your door: check a few days before moving day. In a tower, book the service elevator.

Arriving in Rimouski: neighbourhoods, students and winter

Downtown and near UQAR and the Cégep, there are many upstairs units; in Pointe-au-Père or Le Bic, houses often have large lots. Tell us the distance between where the truck can park and the door.

In winter, snow and wind can make the drive harder in the Lower St. Lawrence. We follow road conditions and stay in touch with you until delivery.

How the price of a move to Rimouski 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.
