How these figures were produced
- Hypothetical Barrhaven → Aylmer example: an input distance of 25.1 km and duration of 32 min. Actual addresses can produce a different route.
- 2 bedrooms: two bedroom sets, a sofa and armchair, a dining set for four, a desk and 40 boxes (754 cu ft, 3,326 lb).
- Base estimate: Plus tier, ground floor at both addresses.
- This comparison isolates the short-notice time allowance: with other risk factors, it can rise from 10% to 15%. It does not calculate every adjustment for an actual booking date.
- The crew is what the model assigns: it grows with volume, weight and the number of items of 150 lb or more.
- Neutral scenario with no booking date, postal-zone or capacity adjustment. Your selected date, addresses and services can change the quote.
- Pricing version moving-freight-tax-ca-20260810-v2, captured 2026-09-27. Moving base amounts are in CAD before tax, with upward rounding in $25 increments.
- Packing labour, storage, disassembly and other add-ons are not included.

Should elevator or parking notes be included for an Ottawa-Gatineau quote?
Yes. Towers, institutions, and professional buildings frequently require timed elevator windows and pre-approved move-day logistics.
