Long-distance moving from Ottawa — across Ontario, Quebec & Canada

Most long-distance moving companies you find online are brokers. They take your deposit, then sell your shipment to whichever carrier has space — meaning your belongings get transferred between trucks at warehouses in Toronto, Montreal, or Winnipeg, your delivery window slips, and damaged items become someone else's problem. BEBA does long-distance moving the old way: one dedicated truck, one dedicated crew, flat written price, and the same people who loaded your Ottawa home are the ones who unload it.

How to compare long-distance moving quotes (and avoid scams)

Cross-Canada moving has a real scam problem — Better Business Bureau Canada flags it every year. Three rules: (1) Never pay a large up-front deposit. BEBA collects payment on delivery, not booking. (2) Insist on a flat written quote before move day, not an 'estimate' that climbs once your shipment is on the truck. (3) Confirm the company doing your move is the same company quoting it — brokers will give a name, then sub-contract to whoever's cheapest. We do every BEBA long-distance move ourselves, in our own trucks, with our own crews.

Frequently asked

Questions Ottawa movers actually get asked.

How much does a long-distance move from Ottawa cost?+

Ottawa-to-Toronto runs roughly $1,400–$2,800 for a 1–2 bedroom and $2,800–$5,500 for a 3-bedroom house. Ottawa-to-Montreal is typically $900–$2,200. Ottawa-to-Vancouver (cross-Canada) is usually $5,500–$11,000 depending on volume. Every long-distance job gets a flat written quote, not an hourly meter.

How long does a long-distance move take?+

Ottawa-to-Toronto and Ottawa-to-Montreal are typically same-day or next-day delivery. Maritimes and the Prairies are 2–4 days. BC and Western Canada are 5–8 business days. We give you a delivery window in writing before you book.

Do you provide door-to-door service or do I need to meet a truck?+

All BEBA long-distance moves are door-to-door with one dedicated crew. The same movers who load your home in Ottawa drive the truck and unload at the destination — your things never get transferred between trucks or warehouses.

Will my belongings share the truck with someone else's stuff?+

No. We do dedicated trucks — your shipment is the only shipment in the truck. That's why our flat rates are higher than a shared-load broker, but also why nothing goes missing and delivery windows are reliable.

What about insurance for cross-province moves?+

Every long-distance move includes basic carrier liability coverage. For high-value households we recommend adding full-value replacement coverage — we'll quote both options. We're fully insured for Ontario, Quebec, and inter-provincial transport.

Can you handle Ottawa to Gatineau or just-across-the-border moves?+

Yes — Ottawa-to-Gatineau and Ontario/Quebec cross-river moves are some of our most common jobs. They're priced as flat-rate same-day moves rather than long-distance, and usually run $400–$1,200 depending on home size and parking.
