Long Distance Moving Company in Calgary

Calgary's a jumping-off point. A lot of the moves we do aren't across town — they're out of the province entirely, usually to BC or back east. Anything past about 50 km counts as a long-distance move, and we run those routes all the time. Get a free quote for wherever you're headed and we'll take it from there.

Whether you're crossing Alberta or the whole country, the same crew handles your things the entire way — nobody hands your load off to a stranger halfway. You get one coordinator who stays in touch the whole trip. Everything's wrapped for the highway, and the whole load is insured.

Where we go

We run regular routes out of Calgary in every direction. The most common ones:

• Edmonton — 300 km, about a day up the QE2

• Kelowna — 600 km, a day through the mountains

• Saskatoon — 612 km, two days east

• Regina — 760 km, two days

• Vancouver — 1,000 km, three days over Rogers Pass

• Winnipeg — 1,330 km, two days across the prairies

• Toronto — 3,461 km, about five days

Each route has its own page with the distance and drive time, plus tips for that specific trip. The full list of routes has them all, including moves heading into Calgary.

What it costs

Long-distance pricing really comes down to two things: how far you're going and how much you're bringing. The season matters too — summer runs higher than the rest of the year. As a rough anchor, an average long-distance move out of Calgary lands around $2,900, though a hop to Edmonton is a fraction of a cross-country haul to Toronto.

Your quote covers the crew at both ends, the truck and fuel, all the wrapping, and cargo insurance. Anything on top of that — packing, storage, a piano — is quoted separately. Whatever we quote is what you pay; nothing gets sprung on you at delivery.

How the move runs

It takes more planning than a local move, so here's the shape of it. We start with a walkthrough, over video or in person, to see what's coming and lock in a firm price. Want us to pack? The crew comes a day or two ahead. On loading day everything gets wrapped and strapped for the highway — a load that's riding for days needs more securing than a cross-town run. Your coordinator keeps you posted through transit and confirms the delivery window a day out. At the far end we unload and set things where you want them. Beds and tables go back together, and the packing material leaves with us.

The mountain and prairie runs

Calgary is the busiest launch point in the country for moves into BC, so the Vancouver and Kelowna runs are second nature to our drivers. The Vancouver route climbs through Banff, Golden, and Rogers Pass before dropping into the Fraser Valley — gorgeous in summer, a different animal in winter. In the cold months that means chain-ups and the occasional avalanche closure, and our crews run it anyway. The QE2 up to Red Deer and Edmonton is the easy one — flat and quick, and busy both ways all year.

Planning it

Book earlier than you would for a local move — four to six weeks out, or six to eight in peak summer, since a multi-day move takes a lot more to line up than a morning across town. If either end is a condo, the building's rules come into play: an elevator booking, insurance, a deposit, sometimes a permit for the truck. Here's the condo checklist. And there's the life-admin side of leaving the province too — licence, registration, health card, mail forwarding. Our route pages cover what changes at each destination.
