Moving in or around Montreal? Choosing the right moving company can make the difference between a seamless transition and a stressful nightmare. At Anber Movers, we’ve helped thousands of families and businesses move with confidence—and we’re here to help you do the same. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to consider when choosing a Montreal moving company so your move goes off without a hitch.
Understanding Your Moving Needs
Before you start researching movers, take a moment to understand your unique needs. Are you moving to a new condo across town or relocating your entire business across provinces? Do you need help with heavy furniture, fragile antiques, or piano transportation?
At Anber Movers, we offer tailored services for:
- Residential and condo moves
- Office and commercial relocations
- Long-distance moves across Quebec and beyond
- Specialty item moving (pianos, fine art, and more)
- Storage and packing solutions
Knowing what you need will help narrow your search to companies that specialize in those services.
What to Look for in a Montreal Moving Company
When comparing moving companies, consider the following factors:
✅ Licensed & Insured: Always choose a company that’s fully licensed and insured in Quebec. Anber Movers meets all provincial and federal moving regulations, giving you peace of mind.
✅ Experience: We’ve been moving Montrealers since 1986. With nearly four decades of experience, we know the city like the back of our hand.
✅ Reputation: Look for positive customer reviews on Google, Facebook, and industry review sites.
✅ Equipment & Fleet: A reliable mover has clean, well-maintained trucks and proper moving tools—like Anber Movers' fleet of GPS-tracked vehicles and fully equipped crews.
Comparing Moving Quotes
Not all quotes are created equal. Some movers advertise low prices but tack on hidden fees at the end.
Here’s how to compare fairly:
- Request detailed, written estimates from multiple movers
- Understand if the quote is hourly or flat-rate
- Ask if it includes fuel, stair carries, or assembly/disassembly
- Watch for extra charges for heavy items or long walks
At Anber Movers, our estimates are transparent, with no hidden fees. What we quote is what you pay.
Questions to Ask Before You Hire
Before signing a contract, ask potential movers the following:
- Are your movers background-checked and trained?
- Do you provide full-service packing and unpacking?
- How do you handle damages or delays?
- What’s your cancellation policy?
Our team at Anber Movers is happy to answer all your questions—and we offer flexible options to fit your schedule and budget.
Red Flags to Avoid
Unfortunately, not every mover operates with integrity. Here are signs you should steer clear:
🚩 Vague or missing contracts
🚩 Unusually low estimates
🚩 No physical address or professional website
🚩 Demands for large upfront deposits
Anber Movers is a fully transparent, locally trusted business with a physical office in Montreal and a long history of satisfied clients.

A stress-free move starts with preparation. Here are a few pro tips:
- Book early, especially during peak seasons (May–September)
