Moovy is a licensed moving company in Kitchener that handles moves between Kitchener and the GTA, as well as local moves across Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge. Pricing is hourly: $119 per hour for two movers and a truck, $169 for three and $219 for four. Every job has a three-hour minimum, then time is billed in 15-minute increments, and you pay for the time actually used. There is no deposit and no cancellation fee.
Kitchener is about 108 km from downtown Toronto, so our Kitchener movers run most jobs as one-day trips along the 401: loading at one end, driving and unloading the same day.
Cost of moving from Toronto to Kitchener
Here is a planning example. A typical one-bedroom move from Toronto to Kitchener with two movers comes to about $1,085 – $1,205 before HST. That covers loading, the drive, unloading and one truck fee for the round trip. A two- or three-bedroom home takes more hours and often a third mover. Because the truck fee follows the round-trip distance from our base, the exact pickup and drop-off addresses decide the final bracket, and a move from Mississauga to Doon will price differently from one between Scarborough and Bridgeport. For local moves inside Kitchener the hourly rates stay the same and the truck fee is set by the shorter round trip, starting at $100. All crew sizes and typical times are listed on our moving rates page.
House moving services in Kitchener
Kitchener's housing changes a lot from one area to the next. Victoria Park, Cherry Park and the streets around Downtown Kitchener have older houses with steep stairs and narrow halls, while Doon, Williamsburg, Huron Park and Laurentian Hills are mostly newer homes with garages and driveways. Our house moving crews wrap every piece in heavy blankets, bag mattresses and take apart the beds and tables that need it, then rebuild them at the new place. There is no stair fee and no surcharge for heavy items.
Moving a house with no driveway? Reserve two or three street spaces in front of the door at both addresses. Many Kitchener streets have parking time limits, so check with the City about a temporary permit for moving day. Parking tickets on the day are the resident's responsibility.
Packers and movers in Kitchener
Full packing is included in the hourly rate if you arrange it at booking. If you pack on your own, boxes are the only supply we do not include, and you can buy or rent moving boxes from us. Label boxes by room on the side, not the top, so the label stays readable in a stack.
Condo and apartment moves near the ION line
New condo towers have gone up along King Street, Charles Street and the ION light rail corridor downtown. Most of them require a booked service elevator and a Certificate of Insurance before move-in. Moovy carries $2,000,000 in commercial general liability insurance and issues the certificate in your building's name free of charge. Our apartment and condo movers plan the load around your elevator window, pad the cab and cover the corridors.
Local movers in Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge
Our local movers in Kitchener work in Downtown Kitchener, Victoria Park, Cherry Park, Westmount, Forest Heights, Stanley Park, Bridgeport, Chicopee, Huron Park, Doon, Pioneer Park, Williamsburg and Laurentian Hills. Many local moves cross into Cambridge or into Waterloo, where our Waterloo movers handle student and family moves near the universities. Small offices in the converted factory buildings downtown can book our office movers on the same hourly terms. For longer routes, to London, Windsor or Ottawa, see our long-distance movers.
