Ottawa to Quebec City Movers
Ottawa to Quebec City Movers Careful & On Time
From Parliament Hill to the Plains of Abraham: Parkview’s long distance movers connect Ottawa and Quebec City with same-day and next-day dedicated deliveries, bilingual crews, and the experience to handle Old Quebec’s narrow streets and Quebec’s famous July 1st moving season.
Quebec City combines government and tech employment, Université Laval, and one of the most beautiful urban settings in North America, and moving there from Ottawa comes with unique logistics, from heritage-district street access to lease-cycle timing. Our long distance moving service pairs bilingual crews with dedicated trucks for a move that is careful at both ends and fast in between.
The Ottawa to Quebec City Route: 450 km Along the St. Lawrence
Quebec City sits about 450 kilometres east of Ottawa, roughly four and a half hours via Highway 417 and Autoroute 40 along the north shore of the St. Lawrence (or the A-20 south-shore route for Lévis deliveries). Most moves are loaded in Ottawa in the morning and delivered the same day; larger homes deliver the next morning, always on a dedicated Parkview truck.
This route extends our broader Ontario to Quebec moving service, so if your destination is anywhere between, Trois-Rivières, Drummondville, or the Eastern Townships, the same crew handles it door to door.
Why Parkview Is the Right Long Distance Moving Company for Your Quebec City 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.
Quebec City Neighbourhoods Our Long Distance Movers Deliver To
From the walls of Old Quebec to the south shore, our Ottawa to Quebec City movers deliver across the entire capital region:
Old Quebec & Saint-Jean-Baptiste
Heritage streets too narrow for full-size trucks. We stage with smaller shuttle vehicles and hand-carry crews so your furniture arrives without a scratch, on the building or the belongings.
Saint-Roch & Limoilou
Quebec City’s tech-and-arts quarter and its classic triplex neighbourhoods, walk-ups and exterior staircases handled by crews who do them weekly.
Sainte-Foy & Sillery
Family neighbourhoods near Université Laval and the bridges, our most common destination for academic and government relocations from Ottawa.
Montcalm & the Plains
Elegant apartments and heritage homes near the Plains of Abraham, with white-glove protection standard.
Beauport
Established family streets along the north shore east of the core, with straightforward truck access off the A-40.
Charlesbourg & Lebourgneuf
Growing northern districts where we coordinate deliveries with new-build possession dates.
Lévis & the South Shore
Across the bridges to Lévis, Saint-Nicolas, and Saint-Romuald, same truck, same crew, no handoffs.
L'Ancienne-Lorette & Val-Bélair
Western suburbs near the airport, convenient for families flying ahead of their shipment.
Dedicated Trucks on Every Ottawa–Quebec City Move
Every Ottawa to Quebec City move travels on a dedicated truck with same-day or next-day delivery and a guaranteed date, no shared loads, no terminals, no waiting.
For Old Quebec and other restricted-access addresses, we build shuttle transfers into the plan from the start: a full-size truck makes the highway run while a smaller vehicle completes the final narrow-street delivery, seamlessly and at a clearly quoted price.

5 Expert Tips for Moving from Ottawa to Quebec City
1. Book Early for July 1st Season
Quebec’s lease cycle makes the turn of July the busiest moving week in the province. If your lease starts July 1st, reserve your long distance movers two to three months ahead.
2. Flag Old Quebec Addresses Immediately
If your new home is inside or near the old city walls, tell us at quote time; we will plan the shuttle vehicle, crew size, and any municipal permissions before moving day.
3. Arrange Street Occupancy Permits
Several Quebec City boroughs require a permit to reserve curb space for a moving truck. We will tell you exactly what your street needs and how to secure it.
4. Set Up Hydro-Québec Ahead of Arrival
Utilities transfer differently than in Ontario. Book Hydro-Québec and internet installation before moving week, especially around July 1st.
5. Plan Around Winter Snow Operations
Snow-removal operations can close street parking overnight in winter. We track borough schedules and plan your unload window 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 Quebec City
Quebec City draws public servants transferring within federal and provincial roles, students and faculty at Université Laval, tech workers in the growing Saint-Roch scene, and families seeking a walkable, historic, affordable capital. Ottawa’s large francophone community makes this one of our most natural two-way corridors.
It is also a city where local knowledge pays: Old Quebec’s narrow, sloped streets can’t take a full-size moving truck, July 1st concentrates half the province’s leases on one day, and winter snow operations reshape parking overnight. Our long distance movers plan for all three.
Frequently Asked Questions: Moving from Ottawa to Quebec City
How long does a move from Ottawa to Quebec City take?
The drive is about 4.5 hours. Most moves load in the morning and deliver the same day; larger homes deliver the next morning, always with a guaranteed date.
Can you deliver inside Old Quebec?
Yes. For streets too narrow for a full-size truck we stage a smaller shuttle vehicle and hand-carry crew, planned and quoted up front so there are no surprises.
Can you move me on July 1st?
Yes, with early booking. July 1st is Quebec’s provincial moving day and capacity sells out months ahead; late-June and early-July alternatives offer more flexibility.
Do you also move from Quebec City back to Ottawa?
Yes, we run this corridor in both directions, and return-trip scheduling can sometimes lower your price. Ask your consultant about upcoming departures.
What affects the cost of an Ottawa to Quebec City move?
Home size, access (walk-ups, Old Quebec shuttles, elevators), your moving date, and services like packing and storage. Request a free quote for an exact, all-in price.
