Planning Your Successful Long-Distance Move to Victoria

Headed to a new place in Victoria? Whether you’re moving for a job, or family, from Kamloops or Saskatoon, a long-distance move to Victoria is going to be a major event for you — so you’ll want to be well-prepared.

What Really Needs to Come With You to Victoria?

Think about it: do you really need everything you currently own? It might be time to let go of items you've been carrying around just because you have them. Reflect on what’s actually useful and necessary in your life. If you haven’t used something in over a year, chances are you won’t miss it as much as you think. Downsizing means less weight on the truck and more flexibility in your new space.

We’ve got a whole series of downsizing right here, but to get you started:

• Don’t be afraid to let go of possessions just because you have them

• Consider what’s actually useful and necessary in your life, and what you’ve simply been carrying around with you

• Ask yourself when the last time you used something was? If it’s been more than a year, chances are you’ll miss it less than you think

Cutting down what you’re taking with you means less weight to fit on a truck and more flexibility on the other end of the move — you can replace what you let go with furniture that better fits your new space.

How Are You Going to Move Everything to Victoria?

Planning to rent your own truck for the move to Victoria? That’s a big job! Moving across the city is one thing, but days on the road is another. Do some serious research on how to pack your belongings safely. Fragile items need extra care, and larger pieces of furniture must be tied down securely.

Remember, you’re facing a lot of highway driving, bumpy urban roads, and a ferry trip. Pack your essentials separately in a small, accessible bag so you don’t have to dig through boxes during the move. And make sure the rental company will cover you if the truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere.

Book a Professional Mover — In Advance

The easiest way to ensure a smooth, hassle-free move to Victoria is to hire professional movers. They’ve done it all before and know exactly what to do. They’ll figure out what kind of vehicle you need, provide packing supplies, and plan your move so that all you need to do is show up.

But don’t wait until the last minute. Professional movers are in high demand, especially during peak moving seasons. Booking ahead ensures you get the help you need when you need it.
