Tips on Moving to Ottawa

Planning the move

Before anything the best way to save money when moving is to declutter.  This is a great time shed all of the “stuff” that you have invariably gathered over the years, and never touch or use.  When moving from the GTA to Ottawa most movers will calculate the fees based on the total weight of your shipment.  The less you carry / the less you need to pay!

Budgeting for the move

Not only do you need to factor in the cost of the move itself it is important that you include funds for your own transport, possible hotels which can get expensive in Ottawa if needed, food, and extra funds for the unexpected at your new home (eg you arrive and your double door oversized fridge does not fit).  Overall you will be looking at a substantial lower cost of living when moving to Ottawa.

When to move can matter

Depending on the time of the year you can save money when moving.   If you absolutely need to move into your new home on July 1 then costs will invariably be more.  Always try to book a move as early as possible to secure the dates that you need.  Demand for movers in the Toronto region is high & should be taken into consideration.

Always be sure know the company that you plan to move with

No matter who you chose as a mover in Toronto be sure to research your candidates.  Check reviews. Be wary of independents who may not have sufficient coverages that may leave you open to actions if there is an accident.  Any established company is more than willing to offer proof of licensing, insurance and WSIB.  Ask the hard questions, and they should be ready to answer & provide proof.

Partnering with a professional moving company like King’s Transfer that can assist you in the above can simplify the entire process & dramatically reduce the amount of stress involved.
