Moving from Winnipeg to Toronto

Moving Yourself vs. Hiring Moving Company in Winnipeg

Don't know what to do better: move yourself or hire a long-distance moving company? Many people think that moving independently from Winnipeg 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.
• 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!

Also, consider all the possible problems that can arise during a long trip from Winnipeg to Toronto:

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 Winnipeg to Toronto, just make sure that you are fully prepared to move on your own, really save money, and ensure your safety and your cargo. But if the answer is no, you should consider hiring moving experts who have done this many times to make your moving date stress-free. This is especially true for more complex transports, such as car shipping.

The Cost of Your Long Distance Moving from Winnipeg to Toronto

Did you know that most Winnipeg long distance moving companies use weight as the basis for their pricing? This means that the heavier your shipment, the more you will pay. In most cases, the price estimate is for an average house or apartment, which may not be similar to yours, and this is quite critical when you want to move a condo, in which, for example, 1 room instead of the 3 considered in the rates.

At High Stream Moving, we do things differently. Our long-distance movers believe that you should only pay for the space that you use. This means that you will never be charged for more than the actual volume of your shipment.
