Great Canadian Van Lines Ltd

About Us
We were founded in 1990 on a principle of identifying and resolving some of the major challenges of the long distance moving industry. These challenges included lengthy delivery periods, expensive and complicated pricing with hidden surcharges and high claim ratios.

Our Story
Our founders did comprehensive research and system development to solve these challenges for our long distance moving clients. Through this, we are able to provide faster, reliable long distance moving services with transparent pricing and low claim ratios,. We’ve refined these systems over three decades, enabling us to provide reliable, stress-free long distance moving services to our clients at an affordable price.

Local Moving
A local move can be as simple as moving a few items within the same building, or may involve moving an entire home or business across town. We are available to provide whichever service you require.

Full Pack & Move Local Moving Services
Full Pack & Move local moving services involve the packing of all of your smaller possessions into cartons, disassembly of items such as beds and dressers with mirrors, and the loading of these cartons and all of your possessions onto our moving vans. We then drive to your new home, unload all items and cartons into the rooms of your choice, unpack the cartons we packed, set up the items we disassembled and remove all cartons and packaging for disposal. This type of move is generally conducted over a two-day period (size dependent) and is charged at an hourly rate based on the manpower required*.

Partial Local Moving Services
Partial local moving services usually consist of the moving of items and loading of cartons you have already packed, the delivery of these items to your new home and the placement of your items and cartons into the rooms of your choice. This is the most common type of move our customers choose. Remember to book your local move as far in advance as possible, especially if you are moving mid-month or at month-end. These time periods are the most popular and book up quickly.
