Choose a moving company that gives a written quote, explains exactly how the price is calculated, carries liability insurance and lets you see the contract before booking. Compare at least two or three quotes on the same details, and be cautious of very low prices with vague terms.
1. Get the pricing model in writing
Local GTA movers usually charge by the hour for a crew and truck. Ask what's included in the hourly rate, the minimum hours, and whether there are travel, fuel, stair or heavy-item fees.
A good quote lists each charge. At Gone2Day, the quote email shows labour, any fuel surcharge and any distance charge before you accept.
2. Check insurance and ask for proof
Ask whether the company carries liability insurance and whether they can send a certificate of insurance. Many condo buildings require one before move day.
3. Read the contract before move day
Look for the cancellation policy, how damage claims work, prohibited items and what happens if the crew can't access the building.
4. Watch for red flags
Be careful with movers who won't give a written quote, require large cash deposits, change the price on move day without explanation or have no reviews or business contact information.
5. Give every mover the same details
To compare fairly, give each company the same information: number of rooms, large items, floors and stairs, elevator access and the distance between addresses.
Frequently asked questions
How many moving quotes should I get?
Two or three written quotes based on the same details are usually enough to see a fair price range.
Should I pay a deposit to movers?
Small deposits for scheduling are sometimes normal. Be cautious of large upfront cash deposits.
Is the cheapest mover the best choice?
Not always. A low hourly rate with a slow crew or hidden fees can cost more in total. Compare what's included.
