The process is really simple. Just fill out the online request form.
Once this is done, the ball is in the court of the moving companies that have been selected by the team of 5 Movers Quotes to make sure that they match your needs. The movers will quickly contact you to inform you of their rates and services. You won’t need to return to the site or to call several companies yourself by email or phone to compare and choose the best offer. Convenience + savings in time! |
How long, on average, before you receive your 5 moving quotes from moving companies? |
|
 |
The service is fast. Usually, partners of 5 Movers Quotes submit their quotes on the same day, within a few minutes or hours after a request is received. However, depending on the type of move and the number of requests, you could receive 3 to 5 quotes within 24 to 48 hours.
Take note that requests for quotes are processed during business hours. If you make a request on a weekend, your quotes will normally be sent the following Monday. |
Will 5 Movers Quotes be responsible for my move? |
|
 |
Since 5 Movers Quotes is not a moving company but a digital platform, we simply offer a service for contacting moving companies effortlessly. As such, we will not be responsible for the moving service and will not be part of the moving contract.
Nevertheless, our team values the quality of your move and carefully selects the moving companies within our network. We also conduct a follow-up. |

How are partner moving companies selected? |

 |
The following criteria are taken into account by the team of 5 Movers Quotes: reputation, professionalism, reliability, insurance (mandatory), and rates.
Because user satisfaction is very important to us, we make it a point to get to know our partners. We know that the quality of services of our moving partners is what will guarantee the longevity of 5 Movers Quotes. |
How does the 5 Movers Quotes platform ensure the quality of the moving quotes? |
|
 |
After receiving your free quotes, our team will ask you (by email) to evaluate the quality of the comparison service and the quotes obtained. Your participation will be on a voluntary basis.
Users’ comments allow us to satisfactorily evaluate the relevance of our partners’ quotes over time, their courtesy, their competitiveness, the speed of response, etc. Our team is also in direct contact with our partner moving companies. |
Is the service of 5 Movers Quotes really free (without commission)? |
|
 |
Yes. It is free for you, the user. No commission, no hidden fees, no sharing of profits with the moving companies.
The moving companies pay us a small fee for the service and the advertising. |
If I use the comparator, am I obligated to hire one of the movers? |
|
 |
Not at all. You can choose a moving company not connected with 5 Movers Quotes at any time.
If you are considering it, however, make sure to entrust your move to professionals. By choosing one of our partners, you can be sure. We encourage you to receive all your free quotes before looking elsewhere. Due to the flexibility and competitiveness of our partners, we are confident that at least one of them will offer you an unbeatable price. |
What makes 5 Movers Quotes different from other major online comparison platforms for moving companies? |
|
 |
In the province, the size of our network is unbeatable. With over 150 professional moving companies, your chances of finding the right mover are optimized with 5 Movers Quotes.
Also, each moving quote is sorted manually by one of our dispatchers, not by an automated process. Thus, you can be certain that your application will actually reach movers who will meet your expectations in your area. Another important element is the quality of the quotes provided. Our team continuously monitors with partners to increase their relevance. |
Are the partner moving companies adequately insured? |
|
 |
Yes, it is a mandatory requirement. By choosing one of our moving partners, you can rest easy. Your property will be insured in case of damage. |
Do they take charge of moves paid for by IVAC or CNESST? |
|
 |
Some of the moving companies in the 5 Movers Quotes network can take care of these moves. If this is the case, just specify it in the form. |
Do movers take precautions against bed bugs? |
|
 |
As professionals, it is certain that their trucks and equipment are cleaned regularly to drastically reduce the risk of infestation. The frequency depends on the companies.
Some movers use high-pressure washing machines to eliminate the potential presence of bed bugs in their equipment. This threat is taken seriously in the field of moving. |
Do the moving companies supply packing materials? |
|
 |
Yes and no. It depends on the company. This is something you need to pay attention to when comparing the quotes you receive.
Some movers sell them, while others provide them (wardrobe boxes, mattress covers, etc.). You want a packaging service by professionals? Check the option in the form to find out the rates offered by the moving companies. Do you want to buy your moving boxes and other necessary accessories at the best prices? You can find them at limpsdemenagement.ca! |

Your questions about moving in general
How to choose movers? |
|
 |
Obtain quotes in advance, set the date of your move. Compare at least 3 companies.
Ask the right questions. Evaluate the reputation of the company, read the opinions of their customers. Check licenses, permits, certificates (CTQ, SAAQ, etc.). Demand a comprehensive contract. Be careful, avoid ridiculous rates, (require insurance). |
Should you book movers well in advance? |
|
 |
It is definitely advantageous to book in advance because the best movers are in demand.
If you are moving at the end of the month or around the first of July, your choices can quickly become limited, both in terms of the moving company and the time of your move. In these cases, it is recommended that you fill out the online request form a few months or weeks before the anticipated date of your move. An ’emergency’ move will usually be more expensive (hourly rate). |
Is there a minimum number of hours to pay? |
|
 |
The standard for movers is to charge a minimum of 3 hours of labor. Note, however, that movers still specialize in small local moves (a few pieces). A consolidated move is also an interesting option in such cases.
In addition, some companies charge at least 1 hour of transportation, in addition to the time between the journey from your departure address to the destination. This is to cover moving to and from the warehouse of the moving company. The terms vary from one mover to another, so be aware of these details as you read the quotes. |
Are there hidden fees to pay for my move? |
|
 |
5 Movers Quotes works with its partners to offer you complete and transparent quotes. By entrusting your move to professionals and becoming familiar with your contract, you will avoid exposing yourself to hidden fees.
If applicable, any additional charges for transportation, overload, time, purchase of supplies or otherwise are normally provided. |
Are moving expenses tax-deductible? |
|
 |
The provincial government and the federal government offer a tax deduction for workers who are at least 40 kilometers away from their new place of work, or a student who does the same because of a new school. |
Will my move be canceled if the weather is bad? |
|
 |
Professional movers are usually committed to conducting the move as scheduled, whether it’s sunny or not, raining, snowing, or excessively hot. In case of a truly major weather disturbance (exceptional cases), it is still possible that your move can be conducted on time. In such cases, you are contacted by the mover who will accommodate you to meet your needs. |
How can I save on my move? |
|
 |
The first step is to choose an advantageous date for your move since the rates fluctuate throughout the year. Choosing the right mover is also a key factor. Avoid ridiculous rates and demand insurance.
Using a comparator of moving quotes such as 5 Movers Quotes is a smart move. Get rid of unnecessary items. Disassemble your furniture before the arrival of the movers. |
What modes of payment do moving companies accept? |
|
 |
These vary from one moving company to another. If you want to pay specifically with your credit card (VISA, MasterCard, Amex …), PayPal, Interac, cash, check or other, you can mention it in the online form to receive your free quotes. This will be taken into account by the movers. |
Do movers connect/disconnect appliances? |
|
 |
The connection and disconnection of the stove or dryer is usually not a problem. It can be taken care of.
However, when it comes to your dishwasher or washer, it is often recommended that you refer to a certified plumber. |
What is the average cost of a move?
Below are the average rates based on the date of a move:
| Dates | 2 MOVERS | 3 MOVERS |
| 15 May to 30 May | $85 to $110/hour | $100 to $130/hour |
