Moving from Nova Scotia to Toronto

Moving Your self vs. Hiring Moving Company

Thinking about moving on your own? There is no real financial benefits when you do a long-distance move from Nova Scotia to Toronto yourself by renting a mover's truck. And here's why:

• Renting costs more. When you rent a truck, you have to return it to the same place it was picked up. Otherwise, you'll pay a lot more than you expect. 
• Terrain and landscape matter. In high winds, the fuel consumption for carrying a heavy truck increases dramatically. Most rental trucks have gas-powered engines which comes to 30-35 litters/100km=1089$ for 15,20,24 ft vans/trucks
• Assistance in packing and loading: you need experience in packing, loading your belongings into the truck, and securing the boxes. And also several pairs of hands, because it's almost impossible to do it alone! Otherwise, you'll be stressed trying to fit everything in the truck to get your stuff in one piece!
• Save your back! Moving household goods is not a gym with comfort-handled weights-bulky items that work against your back.
• Accommodation expenses? 250$ and up for a motel's night along the road.

Also, consider all the possible problems that can arise with rental during a long trip from Nova Scotia to Toronto:

1. Flat tire.
2. Engine problems.
3. Anything can happen on the road. Dangerous drivers.
4. Shortage of gas supply or miscalculation.
5. Difficult weather conditions (blizzards, ice, etc).

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

If you're still thinking about driving a rental truck yourself from Nova Scotia to Toronto, just make sure it's much cheaper and safer to hire professionals who have done it many times.

The Cost of Your Long-Distance Moving from Nova Scotia to Toronto

One of the key elements that you need to take into consideration when moving is the cost. Most movers prefer to give a long-distance moving quote based on generic estimates - the projected weight of your belongings or just a ridiculously cheap price just to get you booked. Certainly, this is not a fair way of coming up with the total moving cost.
