Moving Montreal to Sept-Îles

Long-distance move between Montreal and Sept-Îles

Sept-Îles, on the Côte-Nord, is about 910 km from Montreal. The truck follows Highway 40 to Quebec City, then Route 138 through Charlevoix, crosses the Saguenay River by ferry between Baie-Sainte-Catherine and Tadoussac, and follows the river to Sept-Îles.

As with our other long-distance moves, the same crew handles loading, transport and delivery, with furniture protected for the road. The price is set by free quote, based on your volume, access and date.

A Villeray duplex, a Griffintown condo or an Ahuntsic house: we organize the departure around your home and its access. For a move on the island, see our Moving Montreal page.

When leaving Montreal, truck parking needs to be arranged a few days ahead: depending on the borough and the street, a permit may be required, with a lead time of 24 hours to 5 business days. In a building, also book the service elevator and let the superintendent know the loading time.

In Sept-Îles, Route 138 is the only road link to the rest of Quebec: we check road conditions before leaving and plan the Saguenay crossing. In town, houses and apartment buildings share the neighbourhoods around the bay; describe the access and where the truck can park.

The route from Montreal to Sept-Îles

After Quebec City, Route 138 crosses Charlevoix through Baie-Saint-Paul and La Malbaie to Baie-Sainte-Catherine. The free ferry to Tadoussac runs 24 hours a day and the crossing takes about ten minutes; the road then continues through Forestville, Baie-Comeau and Port-Cartier to Sept-Îles.

Allow about 10 hours 30 minutes of driving, not counting breaks or the wait at the ferry, which can be longer in summer: a trip of this length usually takes more than one day. The delivery date is agreed with you when you request your quote.

Preparing your move from Montreal to Sept-Îles

A move to the Côte-Nord requires a little more organization: a detailed inventory, clearly labelled boxes and a list of valuables you transport yourself. Pack a suitcase for the road and the first days, before unloading. In Sept-Îles, someone on site can guide the unloading room by room.

In winter, conditions can change quickly on Route 138: we check Québec 511 before leaving and adjust the schedule if needed. Also let us know if some furniture needs to be taken apart or better protected.

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 Sept-Îles: access and parking

Sept-Îles stretches around its bay, with neighbourhoods of single-family homes and apartment buildings of a few storeys. In buildings, ask about access by stairs or elevator and the entrance closest to the parking area.

Tell us where the truck can park on arrival. In winter, snow-removal parking rules may apply: check them with the City of Sept-Îles for your moving date.

How the price of a move to Sept-Îles 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.
