Moving from Greater Ottawa to Greater Toronto
1st Rate Movers schedules weekly trips to the greater Toronto area.
Destinations include Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke, Brampton, North York, Newmarket, Scarborough and many other locations.
We also deliver to Brockville, Kingston, Belleville, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering and other towns along the 401 corridor to Toronto.
When moving from Ottawa to Toronto or one of these locations, you can realize substantial savings by co-ordinating
your move through 1st Rate Movers as part of a consolidated or shared trip. Our customers often save up to $500 off the cost of
their move compared to booking a dedicated trip.
The cost of a long distance move within Ontario is broken into two parts:
An hourly rate for labour to load and unload the truck
A flat rate travel charge to cover all or a portion of travel-related expenses.
These expenses include wages for driving time, fuel, kilometers, food and lodging for the crew, and any other necessary services
The savings realized by taking part in this type of move are the result of a reduction in travel charges. This is due to other
parties, moving to Toronto, absorbing a large portion of the travel costs. For an average trip to Toronto, the travel charges would
usually total between $1200 and $1500 depending on the size of the truck involved. On a return trip aligned with a scheduled delivery to
Toronto, a moving customer could expect to save up to 40% off of the regular travel charge. This can result in substantial savings.
Example:
A one bedroom apartment usually takes around 4 hours of labour to load to and from the moving truck.
At an average rate of $95 per hour, $380 would be the labor portion of the moving cost.
This size move would fit in the 16' truck for which the travel charge would normally be $1200 or so.
On a regular move then, this customer could expect to pay $1580 to move their apartment.
However, the customer is flexible on the moving date and schedules our crew to move them from Ottawa to Toronto
as part of a consolidated trip.
The travel charge is reduced by around 40% which saves them $480 off the total cost of the move.
They end up paying $1100 instead of $1580 to move their one bedroom apartment.
Thank you for considering 1st Rate Movers for your move.
