Moving Montreal to Toronto

Long-distance move from Montreal to Toronto

Toronto is Canada’s largest city and one of our three Ontario destinations, along with Ottawa and Kingston.

To set the price, we take into account the distance, the volume to be moved and the crew required. As with our other long distance moves, it is a flat rate confirmed with your quote, with no hidden fees: one crew and one truck are dedicated to your move, from loading through to delivery, and our packing and unpacking service is included.

We depart from Montreal, the South Shore and the North Shore of Montreal. If your destination is Ottawa instead, see our Moving Montreal to Ottawa page.

From Montreal, allow about 540 km to Toronto on Highway 20, which becomes Highway 401 at the Ontario border. With more than 5 hours of driving, the loading time is set to arrive outside rush hours whenever possible.

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.

In Toronto, most condo towers require you to book the service elevator and loading dock, often for a limited time slot, and some ask for proof of the mover’s insurance. Ask building management for these rules as soon as your date is set.

On a trip this long, an accurate inventory prevents surprises: list large furniture, count boxes and flag fragile items. On arrival in Toronto, keep a first-night box apart (bedding, toiletries, chargers) so you can settle in the very first evening.

Planning your move from Montreal to Toronto

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.

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. For a condo, also book the service elevator at both the departure and arrival addresses.
