Local Moving Services in Montreal, Laval and North Shore
Our local moving services cover the entire greater Montreal area, from downtown Montreal condos with narrow stairwells to suburban homes in Laval, Blainville, Terrebonne, and throughout the North Shore. Every local move includes a fully equipped truck, professional moving blankets, shrink wrap, and a team of two to three experienced movers who know these neighborhoods.
Local moves are billed by the hour, and our rates vary by season. From October through April, rates range from $120 to $160 per hour. During peak season from May through September, rates range from $145 to $245 per hour. These rates include the truck, equipment, and crew. There are no hidden travel charges or material fees added to your invoice.
Estimated Duration by Home Size
A studio or 1.5-room apartment typically requires 2 to 3 hours. A standard 3.5-room apartment takes 3 to 4 hours. Larger 4.5-room apartments generally require 4 to 5 hours, while 5.5-room apartments and larger units take 5 to 7 hours. Family homes usually require 6 to 8 hours depending on volume and access conditions. These estimates assume standard furniture without professional packing services. Stairs, long carrying distances, or packing services will add to the total time.

Kitchen Cabinet and Construction Site Delivery
In addition to residential and commercial moving, Pro Action Transport operates a specialized last-mile delivery service for kitchen cabinetry and construction materials. We work directly with cabinet manufacturers, kitchen designers, and general contractors to deliver finished cabinetry and millwork to construction sites across the greater Montreal region. Our teams hold ASP Construction certification and carry the equipment necessary to access active job sites, including lull deliveries to upper floors.
This service requires careful handling of finished products that cannot be damaged in transit, precise scheduling to coordinate with installation crews, and the ability to navigate construction site conditions that standard delivery services are not equipped for. We currently provide this service to established partners including kitchen fabrication workshops throughout Quebec. Learn more about our kitchen cabinet delivery service
Additional Moving Services
Professional Packing Services
Our packing team uses professional-grade materials including double-wall boxes, dish pack inserts, wardrobe boxes, and custom crating for fragile or high-value items. You can choose between full packing service where we pack your entire home, or partial packing where we handle only your fragile and specialty items. Full packing typically adds 20 to 30 percent to your move cost but eliminates days of preparation and provides optimal protection for your belongings.

Our climate-controlled warehouse facility in Laval offers flexible short-term and long-term storage for customers who need time between their move-out and move-in dates. Storage is billed monthly and your belongings are inventoried, wrapped, and stored securely.

Why Choose Pro Action Transport
The Montreal moving market has hundreds of companies competing for your business, and choosing the wrong one can turn a stressful day into a costly disaster. Here is what makes Pro Action Transport different from the companies you will find on a quick Google search.
Certified Great Canadian Van Lines agent. Our GCVL certification means your long-distance move is backed by a national logistics network with partner offices in every Canadian province. Great Canadian Van Lines holds a 4.98 out of 5 BBB rating and is a Canadian Association of Movers certified van line. This affiliation provides cargo protection, shipment tracking, and delivery accountability that independent movers cannot match on interprovincial routes.
Licensed, insured, and compliant. Pro Action Transport carries $5 million in liability insurance, maintains all required Commission des transports du Quebec permits, and operates in full compliance with provincial transportation regulations. Our national insurance rating code is R-123282-7, verifiable through the CTQ. Every member of our team is trained, and our crews working on construction sites hold ASP Construction certification.
Over 1,200 moves since 2017. Eight years of continuous operation in the Montreal market means we have encountered and solved virtually every moving challenge. Narrow spiral staircases in Plateau walk-ups, high-rise condo moves with strict elevator booking windows, cross-country relocations through winter mountain passes, and delicate deliveries to active construction sites. Our experience translates directly into a smoother move for you.
Bilingual service across Canada. As a Quebec-based company, our team is fully bilingual in French and English. This matters not only for your comfort during the move but also for coordinating with building managers, condo boards, and delivery contacts at both ends of an interprovincial move.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Montreal
How much does a local move cost in Montreal?
Local moving rates in the Montreal and Laval area range from $120 to $160 per hour during off-season (October through April) and $145 to $245 per hour during peak season (May through September). These hourly rates include a fully equipped truck and a team of two to three professional movers. A typical 3.5-room apartment takes 3 to 4 hours, so you can expect to pay between $360 and $980 depending on the season and complexity of the move. Factors that affect the total include stairs versus elevator access, the distance between parking and your door, and whether you need packing services.
How much does it cost to move long distance from Montreal?
Long-distance moving costs from Montreal depend on your destination and the weight of your shipment. Starting prices for a studio or small apartment are $1,500 to Ottawa, $2,500 to Toronto, $2,300 to Calgary, $2,900 to Edmonton, and $3,000 to Vancouver. Larger homes with more furniture and belongings will cost more. For example, a three-bedroom home moving from Montreal to Toronto typically costs between $5,000 and $8,000. We provide detailed quotes based on a complete inventory of your belongings, either through a virtual walkthrough or an in-person assessment.
Is Pro Action Transport licensed and insured?
Yes. Pro Action Transport is fully licensed with the Commission des transports du Quebec and carries $5 million in liability insurance on every move. Our national insurance rating code is R-123282-7. We are also a certified agent of Great Canadian Van Lines, a Canadian Association of Movers certified van line with a 4.98 out of 5 BBB rating. All permits and insurance documentation are available upon request.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For local moves, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance during off-season and three to four weeks during peak season (May through September). For long-distance moves across Canada, booking four to six weeks ahead gives you the best selection of departure dates and allows adequate time for inventory assessment and planning. July 1st, Quebec's traditional moving day, requires the earliest booking possible, ideally two to three months in advance.
Do you offer storage services?
Yes. Our climate-controlled warehouse facility in Laval provides both short-term and long-term storage options. Your belongings are professionally wrapped, inventoried, and stored securely. Storage is billed monthly and is particularly useful for customers coordinating a long-distance move where departure and arrival dates do not align. There is no minimum storage period.
What areas does Pro Action Transport serve?
Locally, we serve the entire greater Montreal area including Laval, Montreal (all boroughs), the North Shore (Blainville, Terrebonne, Boisbriand, Mirabel, Rosemere, and surrounding communities), Lanaudiere (Repentigny, Mascouche, Joliette), and the Laurentians (Saint-Jerome, Sainte-Adele, Mont-Tremblant).
