Toronto to Ottawa

How does a move from Toronto to Ottawa work?

It is an Ontario move with more road in the middle. You send the two postal codes and photos, we agree the price before you book, and our own truck and drivers take the load up the 401 and the 416.

01

The route

About 450 km: the 401 east, then the 416 north into Ottawa. By car that is four and a half to five hours of driving, which is a fact about the road and not a delivery time.

  • From Toronto or any GTA city we serve
  • Delivery window set in your quote
02

What sets the price

How much is moving, the access at both ends, your dates, and whether we pack or store anything. All of it is settled in the quote, before you book.

  • Two postal codes and photos first
  • Stairs, elevators and long carries
  • Price agreed before you book
03

Before the truck leaves

The crew can pack and wrap, with boxes rented for the move. What is not coming to Ottawa can leave with our junk removal crew first. If the new place is not ready, storage runs through our partner Key Storage: ask us where the load would wait.

  • Boxes rented, not sold
  • Junk removal by our own crew
  • Storage through Key Storage

A first number

Send the two postal codes.

The one you are leaving and the one in Ottawa, with photos of what is moving. That is enough for a first number. WhatsApp is the fastest way, and the sales office answers seven days a week.

Every truck and every crew goes out from our yard at 6 Tracey Blvd in Brampton. On an Ottawa move the truck loads at your door in Toronto or elsewhere in the GTA, then takes the 401 east.

Tell us about the Ottawa end as well. On a street with no signs, Ottawa's traffic and parking by-law limits parking to three hours between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays, and that limit does not apply to a vehicle actively loading or unloading. Posted signs still apply: read the ones on your new street and check the City's on-street parking rules.

Moving from Toronto to Ottawa: the questions people ask.

Straight answers. The long distance moves page covers every route, and packing and unpacking and storage have their own pages. For anything else, call or message during sales hours.

How far is it from Toronto to Ottawa by road?

About 450 km. The usual road is Highway 401 east, then Highway 416 north into the city. In a car that is four and a half to five hours of driving, depending on traffic. That describes the road. When your things arrive is written in your quote.

How long does a move from Toronto to Ottawa take?

We do not print a standard time on this page. Your delivery window is set in the quote, before you book, so you know it when you agree the price. Tell us the day you must be out in Toronto and the day you get the keys in Ottawa.

Do you also move from Ottawa to Toronto?

Yes. Ontario is our home ground and most of our work, and the 401 runs both ways. Tell us the two addresses, the date and what is moving, and we come back with the price and the crew before anything is loaded. The trucks and the drivers are our own in either direction.

What sets the price of a Toronto to Ottawa move?

Four things: how much is moving, the access at both ends, your dates, and any packing or storage you add. A third-floor walk-up in Centretown is a different job from a house with a driveway in Kanata. The price is agreed with you before you book, not discovered on the day.

Do I need a new driver's licence or health card in Ottawa?

No. Ottawa is in Ontario, so your licence, your plates and your health card stay as they are. Only the address changes: by law within 6 days for the driver's licence and the vehicle permit, and within 30 days for the health card. It is done on Ontario's address change page.

What should I ask my new building in Ottawa?

The same things as in Toronto: which elevator is used for moves and in what hours, how long the booking is, whether there is a deposit, and where the truck can stand. Send us the answers with the postal codes. Our guide to booking a condo elevator lists the questions.

Is winter a problem for a move to Ottawa?

It adds one thing to check. Between November 15 and April 1 the City of Ottawa can declare a winter weather parking ban, overnight or during the day, when 7 cm of snow or more is forecast or in freezing rain, and vehicles left on the street can be ticketed and towed. Look at the City's winter parking page before the day, and tell us if your new street has no driveway.

When should I book a move from Toronto to Ottawa?

As soon as you have a date. Summer and month ends fill up first, on this route like on every other. Give us your date range and we tell you what is free. Our peak season note has more.
