Moving from Toronto to Calgary

Moving Yourself vs. Hiring Moving Company

Organize the move on your own and rent a truck or hire professional movers for your moving your items, ensuring that all your personal items are taken care of? Many people think that renting a moving truck and moving independently between Toronto and Calgary will save a lot of money, but it's not always the most efficient way to do so. And here's why:

• Renting a truck costs more in the long run than employing a company for moving. Because movers combine loads (shared truck delivery), costs are much lower than for rentals. There are also some pitfalls: you have to return the truck on time, pay for accommodation, drive by yourself, load and unload items, stack stuff in the truck the right way, etc. Otherwards, rentals cost more money, stress and afford. Also, we do not recommend driving rentals by yourself in winter due to the extreme danger on the roads.

Example! A 26-foot U-Haul truck from Toronto to Calgary costs about $3856 tax + fuel $2100 + labour + accommodation! Your total estimate could be around $10,000.

• Moving, especially household international moving, is not something you can do alone. Without experienced help and professionally trained to handle such tasks, the bustle can quickly become stressful. Hiring movers from trusted Calgary moving companies can ensure the process from start to finish is handled efficiently, without stress, and ultimately save time. You need knowledge and experience in packing well, loading things properly into the truck, and securing your package. 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 best movers in the business come to the rescue, doing a great job at ensuring your move is hassle-free!

You should also consider that there may be various contingencies along the way 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 transport your rental truck from Toronto to Calgary, 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.
