Do you know you need help, but you\u2019re wondering <strong>what the going rates are for a professional mover<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>To get a fair price, you need to consider certain elements from the get-go. To give you a better understanding, here\u2019s an overview of what you can expect to pay for your move.<\/p>\n<h2>Mover rates: paying a pro vs. doing it yourself<\/h2>\n<p>If you have a lot of friends and acquaintances, you might be tempted to <a href=\"\/en\/blogue\/residential\/moving-yourself-errors\/\">undertake your move with their help<\/a>. The main motivation for doing so, of course, would be to save money. But is it truly cost-effective to do it on your own?<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that a lack of experience and organization can slow you down considerably. Not to mention the fact that it can be quite expensive to rent a moving van and all the materials and equipment you\u2019ll need. To avoid all of the challenges associated with moving, it\u2019s highly advisable to do business with a professional mover. But what can you expect from a moving company in terms of pricing?<\/p>\n<h2>The rates for a move vary according to the region<\/h2>\n<p>Numerous factors influence the price of a move, and the location is one of them. It will be easier to schedule a <a href=\"\/en\/services\/economic-moving\/\">regional move at a good price<\/a> than a move in Montreal, where the population is denser and moving, in and of itself, is a tradition.<\/p>\n<p>However, whether you\u2019re in the city or an outlying area, you can estimate the cost of a move by accounting for the following basic elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Base rate<\/li>\n<li>Duration<\/li>\n<li>Additional fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To calculate the total price of your move, multiply the base rate by the number of hours it will take to perform the move and then add in any supplemental fees. However, bear in mind that this is only a rough estimate.<\/p>\n<h2>Mover rates in the Montreal region: off-peak season<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Two movers: base rate from $80 to $120 per hour<\/li>\n<li>Three movers: base rate from $115 to $190 per hour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You probably won\u2019t be surprised to learn that the periods when it is best to avoid moving include July 1, school breaks, national holidays, the Christmas season and Labour Day, just to name a few. As July 1 approaches, the rates can double or even triple.<\/p>\n<p>If you can, try to opt for a time of year when people aren\u2019t lining up to move. Off-peak periods include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spring or the end of summer<\/li>\n<li>Autumn<\/li>\n<li>Weekdays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The price for a mover: additional fees<\/h2>\n<p>There will nearly always be supplemental fees added to the base rate. To estimate the price of your move more precisely so you avoid any unpleasant surprises, you should take these fees into consideration from the very beginning. The more detailed your estimate is, the easier and more predictable everything will be.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any unusually heavy pieces of furniture to transport? Do you need to move a piano? Anything that might make your move more difficult is liable to generate supplemental fees. Therefore, you should inform your mover as soon as possible regarding such considerations as large furnishings, the number of floors and the presence or absence of elevators. The same goes for a glass table, a large mirror, a safe or a piano.<\/p>\n<p>The most frequent surcharges during a move include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Travel expenses<\/li>\n<li>Mileage fees (local or long-distance)<\/li>\n<li>Insurance fees<\/li>\n<li>Fees for additional movers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Entrust your move to experts!<\/h2>\n<p>Do you need help planning your move?
