What we clarify before crew day
Historic-core buildings, narrower streets, and mixed suburban pickups create very different access setups across the city.
Newer Sainte-Foy and suburban towers still rely on elevator booking windows even when the rest of the move looks simple on paper.
Old Quebec loading limits, winter restrictions, and narrower curb access can change the whole truck sequence.

Your rights when you hire a mover
Latest source review: September 27, 2026. Individual access dates appear below.
Consumer protection
A Québec mover hired in person is not legally required to hand over a written contract, but the OPC recommends always asking for one showing the rate, date and time, number of movers, truck size and how the total is calculated.[1]
Consumer protection
Contrary to popular belief, Québec consumers have no automatic 10-day period to back out of a moving contract, so the OPC advises not signing anything until you have truly decided on a mover.[1][2]
Consumer protection
If a mover hired by phone or online doesn't send the written contract within 15 days, the consumer can cancel within 30 days of concluding it; the mover must refund within 15 days after the cancellation notice is sent.[2]
Consumer protection
A Québec mover must show up at the agreed time, unless it warned you in advance that it could arrive later (for example two hours after the agreed time), according to the OPC.[3]
Vehicle
A Québec mover that uses a heavy vehicle (gross vehicle weight rating of 4,500 kg or more) must be registered in the Commission des transports du Québec's register of heavy vehicle owners and operators (RPEVL).[1][4][5]
Permit
Roadway occupation permit fees: $35 for analysis (non-refundable if refused), $15 for issuance, $1.00 per m² per day for up to 30 days, $28 per day per metered space, and $185 for no-parking signs on wooden supports.[6][7]
What this means for your move
- Hired in person? Nothing obliges a written contract, so ask for one showing the rate, date and time, crew size, truck size and how the total is calculated.[1]

What changes a quote in our pricing model
Illustrative pricing-model estimate in CAD, before tax. Your addresses, date, inventory and services determine your quote.
| Quote input | Estimate | Change vs base | Hours on the clock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base estimate | $825 | none | 2.6 h |
| 2 flights of stairs at pickup | $1,500 | +$675 | 4.9 h |
| Elevator at both addresses | $950 | +$125 | 3.0 h |
| Booked within 48 hours | $850 | +$25 | 2.7 h |
| Prestige tier | $1,250 | +$425 | 3.0 h |
| Standard tier | $625 | −$200 | 2.2 h |
How these figures were produced
- Hypothetical Old Quebec → Beauport example: an input distance of 12.5 km and duration of 20 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.

Quote FAQ
Should I pay a deposit to a mover?
The OPC advises paying a mover no deposit, or a very small one; if a mover asks for payment more than two months ahead, check that it has a trust account and make the cheque payable to the company 'en fidéicommis'.
What insurance should a mover carry?
Before hiring a mover, the OPC suggests checking that it carries basic insurance on the goods moved and civil liability insurance of at least $1 million, and looking the company up with the OPC's 'Se renseigner sur un commerçant' tool.
What if the final bill is higher than the contract?
A Québec mover cannot demand more than the price in the contract; faced with unplanned fees, the OPC says you may refuse to pay them, or pay 'sous protêt' (under protest) and then claim the excess with a formal demand letter.
