Canada's National Long Distance Movers

Since 1990 our Proprietary Moving System has enabled us to move your goods:

• With the Lowest Claims Ratio in the Industry
• At a Great Value
• With the Quickest Transit Times in Canada

With the Lowest Claims Ratio in the Industry

The main differentiator between our company and all the other national movers and van lines is that we are the only mover in the industry with a single digit claim ratio. How do we achieve this amazing result? We are the only moving company in Canada that pays the majority of the valuation premium (the fee you pay to your mover to declare a value on your goods for insurance purposes) to our agents / drivers. Our drivers in turn are responsible for any damages that they may cause. If our drivers protect your goods and handle them safely, then they retain the valuation premium. It is a simple but effective concept. Our drivers take better care of your goods, because they are paid to do so.

At a Great Value

We have an excellent pricing structure without the complicated discount gimmicks found at our competitors. We are the only mover in the industry that does not start off with a high price and then discount it down. We offer straight-forward fair pricing; and when you combine our pricing with our extremely low claims ratio and exceptional service, the result is great value for you.

Please review a sample of the thousands of testimonials we regularly receive from our satisfied customers to confirm that we do in fact provide great value.

With the Quickest Transit Times in Canada

Since our conception we have operated our business with moving transit times that are consistently shorter than our competition’s. Our delivery schedules are shorter and quicker because we run more direct routes than our competitors, particularly between Vancouver and Toronto, or anywhere in BC to anywhere in Ontario. Direct routing means you will not be waiting as long for your goods to arrive to your new home. Compare our transit times with other movers in the industry and you will see that our transit times are significantly shorter.

Customer Feedback:

"Thanks for your letter of July 22. I am glad I chose your company for our move: your rates were reasonable, your service efficient and prompt, and your personnel (especially Jerry, the truck driver) friendly and competent. Overall, GCVL eased a lot of our stress inevitable in such big moves. I will recommend you unhesitatingly to my friends, and would myself choose you for any future moves. Thank you."

"We just wanted to send you a brief note to say thank you for the great move from Vancouver to Niagara. Everything went smoothly and we received all our belongings in original condition. The Great Canadian Van Lines team, yourself included, were professional and friendly. A special thanks to Wilf from the Vancouver team for his exceptional packing of our china and glass. Happy holidays to you and your family."

- Janet Zylstra, Niagara Falls, ON

"I simply have to let you know how much I appreciate the service you provided for my move from Coquitlam, BC to my new home here in Edmonton. The Larry and Ken team are absolutely stellar. They were exceptionally professional, very courteous, very reassuring (which I especially appreciated because moving can be more than a little nerve wracking), efficient beyond belief and above all, they took incredibly good care of my goods; everything arrived on time, in the same condition it left in and to top it all off, they had a warm sense of humour and were genuinely helpful. I can’t thank you nor them enough for making my move such a pleasurable experience."
