Moving from Calgary to Toronto

Moving Yourself vs. Hiring Calgary to Toronto Movers

Move on your own and rent a truck or hire a moving company? Many people think that moving independently from Calgary to Toronto with a rental truck will save a lot of money, but there is no real financial benefit in doing so. And here's why:

• Renting a truck costs more in the long run than hiring a moving company. There are some pitfalls: you have to return the truck to the same place where you rented it. Otherwise, you will pay much more than you expect.

Example! A 26-foot Youhaul truck from Calgary to Toronto costs about $6,000 excluding fuel and lodging! Your total estimate could be around $10000 excluding labor.

• Moving is not something you can do alone, you need more than one extra pair of hands. For example, imagine you want to move a piano, how realistic is it to do it yourself without special skills? You need knowledge and experience in packing well, loading things properly into the truck, and securing boxes. Otherwise, you'll be stressed out trying to fit everything into the truck to get your stuff in one piece! And this is where the pros come to the rescue!

You should also understand that there may be various contingencies along the way from Calgary to Toronto that you need to keep in mind:

1. Flat tire.
2. Engine problems.
3. Unforeseen situations on the roads.
4. Shortage of gas supply or misculation.
5. Difficult weather conditions (blizzard, ice, etc).

Imagine if any of the above happened to you in the middle of nowhere without phone service!

If you are still thinking about driving your rental truck from Calgary to Toronto, just make sure that you are fully prepared to move on your own, ensure your safety and your cargo, and that it saves you money. But if the answer is no, you should consider hiring professionals who have done this many times.
