First Rate Movers Inc

Moving can be a very stressful process and finding a reputable moving company to entrust your home and belongings to is no easy task. Customers want quality service from competent professionals and assurance that their home and belongings will be fully protected and insured against damage.

At First Rate Movers, we understand how stressful moving can be and place more importance on quality of service than on cutting corners to reduce cost. When you hire First Rate Movers, you are not hiring a budget moving company. You are hiring one of the most respected and reputable moving companies in Ottawa and you are hiring peace of mind. We guarantee well-trained, bonded, WSIB-covered, professional movers. We use properly equipped, newer model trucks with clean moving blankets, premium mattress bags, and professional-grade floor runners. Unlike most movers, the confidence we have in our professional moving crews allows us to include full replacement value insurance coverage in our rates.

Ottawa’s Trusted Local Mover for Two Decades
We consider moves to be “local moves” when both the origin and destination are within 100 kilometers of Ottawa’s City Hall, based on the fastest route. The charges for a local move will incorporate a standard hourly charge for travel time at the contracted rate. Travel time is to cover the cost of getting the crew to the job, refuelling, and returning to the office at the end of the job. For local moves, the time between the customer’s addresses is considered part of the moving time.

Local Long Distance Moving
within Ontario
We facilitate moves to or from the Greater Ottawa Area within Ontario. We consider any move that starts or ends more than 100 kilometers from Ottawa’s City Hall to be a long-distance move. Pricing for these moves is based on an hourly rate for loading the contents onto the truck and then offloading at the destination plus a flat rate charge for travel time. The travel charge is based on the distance between locations and depends on the size of the crew and truck. This charge covers the cost of getting the crew to the job, travel between locations, fuel, kilometers, hotel stays, meal allowances and returning to the office at the end of the job.
