Long Distance Moving
We faciltate moves to or from the Greater Toronto Area within 500 km from our Toronto Office. Our partners facilitate moves from coast to coast. We only partner with companies that share our ethics and our drive for customer satisfaction.
We consider any move that starts or ends more then 100 kilometers from Toronto's Downtown to be a long-distance move. Pricing for these moves is based on an hourly rate for loading the contents onto the truck and then offloading at the destination plus a charge for travel time. The charge for travel time, in these cases, is billed at $2.50 per kilometer (one way) for 2 movers or one hour at the contracted rate (whichever is greater). This charge covers the cost of getting the crew to the job, travel between locations, refuelling, and returning to the office at the end of the job.
Charging for travel time in this manner allows the customer to better predict the cost of the move as he/she does not have to worry about how long the drive will take. Poor weather conditions, accidents, and detours causing delays will not affect the customer when paying by the kilometer, not by the hour.
For smaller moves, the above charges for travel time can be reduced through flexability on your part. We usually do consolidated moves to Kingston and Toronto at least once per month. If you are able to be flexible on the timing of your move, this may allow you to share the cost for travel time with another customer. This also applies if we can manage to co-ordinate a move coming back from your destination city.
