Our Moving Services
Local Moving
Local moving is charged based on an hourly rate, however, firm price quotes can be provided for larger moves that occur between the 4th and 24th day of each month. Rates vary across Canada; contact Great Canadian Van Lines at 1.800.665.0055 for the agent nearest you. Local moving can involve moving just a few items within the same building or an entire home or business across town. We are available to provide whichever service you require. A full service move involves the packing of all of your smaller possessions into cartons, disassembly of items such as beds, dressers with mirrors, and the loading of these cartons and all of your possessions onto our moving vans. We then drive to your new home unload all items and cartons into the rooms of your choice, unpack the cartons we packed, set up the items we disassembled and remove all cartons and packaging for disposal. This type of move is generally conducted over a two day period (size dependant) and is charged at an hourly rate based on the manpower required. A partial move usually consists of the moving of items and loading of cartons you have already packed, the delivery of these items to your new home and the placement of your items and cartons into the rooms of your choice. This is the most common type of move our customers choose. The following is a list of things you can do to speed up the moving process for us, resulting in a lower cost to you:
Remember to book your local move as far in advance as possible, especially if you are moving mid-month or at month end. These time periods are the most popular and book up quickly. Long Distance Moving
The key to every successful long distance move is choosing the right mover. Great Canadian Van Lines has experienced and qualified staff to provide you with a smooth and stress-free move. Every Long Distance move we make begins with a free of charge accurate estimate provided by our moving consultant. Our professionalism remains intact from the initial contact with our trained and experienced moving consultants until the completion of your move. Our extensive agency network computerized dispatch centers, and communications systems combine their efforts to ensure your move is handled from start to finish in a professional manner. Before loading your shipment we create an accurate itemized inventory of your goods. Each article of furniture is carefully wrapped in a quilted moving pad to ensure it travels and arrives safely to your new residence. When our movers deliver your goods to your residence, each item is placed in the location and room of your choice. Payment is required upon arrival of your new location by Bank Draft, Money Order, Visa, MasterCard, Cash, or Pre-Approved Billing. Call us toll free at 1.800.665.0055 to book.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR OWNER-PACKED CARTONS: Be aware that if packing your own cartons for cross border shipping you must identify on the carton the items inside the carton.
