Ottawa to Montreal Movers
The Ottawa to Montreal Movers With Guaranteed Delivery Dates
Just two hours apart, Ottawa and Montreal are connected by one of our most-travelled routes. Parkview’s long distance movers deliver same-day across the Island of Montreal, Laval, and the South Shore, with crews who know the city’s walk-ups, spiral staircases, and July 1st rush firsthand.
Moving from Ottawa to Montreal looks simple on a map, but Montreal moves come with their own rules: third-floor walk-ups, iconic exterior spiral staircases, borough parking permits, and the famous July 1st moving day. Our long distance moving service handles all of it, pairing family-owned care with crews experienced on both sides of the Ontario–Quebec border.
The Ottawa to Montreal Route We Drive Every Week
Montreal is roughly 200 kilometres east of Ottawa, about a two-hour drive along Highway 417 and Autoroute 40. Every Ottawa to Montreal move travels on a dedicated Parkview truck and is delivered the same day it is loaded, whether you are headed to a Plateau apartment or a family home in Brossard.
This route also connects seamlessly with our broader Ontario to Quebec moving service, so if your destination is anywhere else in the province, from Gatineau to the Eastern Townships, the same team can take you there.
Why Parkview Is the Right Long Distance Moving Company for Your Montreal Move
Most long distance movers make you choose between big-carrier reach and small-company care. Parkview delivers both:
- Family-owned, hands-on service: the owners are often on the truck themselves, treating your move like it's for their own family.
- National van line network: our partnership with one of Canada's top five van lines gives our long distance moving service true coast-to-coast capacity.
- Dedicated trucks & guaranteed dates: your belongings never share space unless you choose a money-saving consolidated option, and your delivery date is guaranteed.
- GPS-tracked fleet: see exactly where your shipment is between Ottawa and Toronto, at every stage.
- Trained, uniformed, background-checked crews: professional loading procedures, moving blankets, straps, and floor runners on every truck.
- One dedicated consultant: a direct line from first quote to final walkthrough. No call centres, no transfers.
Montreal Neighbourhoods Our Long Distance Movers Deliver To
From the Plateau’s spiral staircases to new builds in Laval, our Ottawa to Montreal movers cover the whole metro region:
Plateau-Mont-Royal & Mile End
Montreal’s iconic walk-ups and exterior spiral staircases demand experienced hands. Our crews hoist, carry, and protect accordingly, and we bring the right equipment for balcony lifts when needed.
Downtown & Ville-Marie
Griffintown, Old Montreal, and the downtown condo towers, where we coordinate elevator bookings and loading docks with building management.
NDG & Côte-des-Neiges
Classic apartment blocks and family duplexes near the universities, one of our most common destinations for students and young professionals from Ottawa.
Westmount & Outremont
Heritage homes with tight streets and delicate finishes. Floor runners, door padding, and white-glove handling come standard.
Verdun & Le Sud-Ouest
Fast-growing riverside neighbourhoods full of converted triplexes, where parking permits and narrow lanes need advance planning.
Rosemont & Hochelaga
Family-friendly boroughs east of the Plateau with the same walk-up architecture our crews handle every week.
Laval
Chomedey, Sainte-Rose, and Vimont. Suburban deliveries north of the island with easy access off the A-15 and A-440.
Longueuil & the South Shore
Brossard, Saint-Lambert, and Boucherville, including deliveries timed around new-build possession dates on the growing South Shore.
Dedicated Trucks on Every Ottawa–Montreal Move
Because the drive is only two hours, every Ottawa to Montreal move gets a dedicated truck and crew: loaded in Ottawa, delivered in Montreal the same day, with no shared loads and no waiting. The same crew that packs your Ottawa home places furniture in your Montreal one.
Moving on a tight budget with a small apartment? Ask about scheduling alongside our weekly Quebec runs; flexible dates can bring the price down while keeping the same Parkview crew and care.

5 Expert Tips for Moving from Ottawa to Montreal
1. Book Months Ahead If You're Moving July 1st
Quebec’s lease system makes July 1st the busiest moving day in North America, and trucks across the province sell out. If your Montreal lease starts July 1st, book your long distance movers two to three months in advance.
2. Plan for Walk-Ups and Spiral Staircases
Tell us your floor and staircase type when you get your quote. Second- and third-floor walk-ups with exterior spiral stairs are standard in Montreal, and our crews plan hoisting or balcony lifts for oversized furniture before moving day.
3. Arrange a Moving-Truck Parking Permit
Many Montreal boroughs require a temporary parking permit to reserve curb space for a moving truck. We will tell you exactly what your borough needs, and how to reserve it, when we plan your move.
4. Transfer Utilities Before You Arrive
Set up Hydro-Québec and your internet provider ahead of moving day; Quebec providers differ from Ontario’s, and installation slots around July 1st book up fast.
5. Watch Winter Parking Bans
In winter, Montreal’s snow-removal parking bans can close entire street sides overnight. We monitor borough schedules and plan unloading windows around them.

I had an awesome move with parkview. I had my deposit stolen from a local Ottaw mover, see my profile, and was looking to make a small move to BC. From start to finish they were amazing. They are members of a moving association which has certain standards and I wish I had thought to look that up first.
They are associated with Great Canadian Van Lines for a cross country move and my items were delivered exactly how they were picked up. Highly recommend

Why Families Move Between Ottawa and Montreal
Montreal draws Ottawans with bilingual career opportunities, universities like McGill, Concordia, and UdeM, more affordable rents than Toronto, and a cultural scene unlike anywhere else in Canada. Federal workers, students, and young families move in both directions constantly, which is exactly why Parkview keeps weekly capacity on this corridor.
Crossing from Ontario into Quebec also means new details: lease-transfer timing, Hydro-Québec setup, borough-specific parking rules, and buildings that were never designed with moving trucks in mind. Our long distance movers plan around every one of them.
