Find the Best Movers from Ottawa to Toronto

Mathieu Paquette

Last updated on: July 1, 2024

The moving industry often lacks transparency, fairness, and security. Our platform addresses this by providing instant quotes from verified moving companies specializing in routes from Ottawa to Toronto, enabling secure online booking within minutes. This saves time and ensures cost-effective, reliable service. A Better Business Bureau (BBB) study reveals that nearly 50% of complaints about moving services involve extortion, rudeness, and bad behavior. Our commitment includes protecting you from scams, hidden fees, and unpleasant surprises by sharing verified movers’ reviews and providing customer support from start to finish.

The 449.7-kilometer route from Ottawa to Toronto makes it affordable and convenient to hire a moving company locally. They offer competitive prices and a personalized experience, unlike van lines, which are better suited for distances over 500 km. Our service connects you with professional movers who have years of experience in moving to the Greater Toronto Area and beyond.

They offer comprehensive moving services tailored to your needs, including moving and packing, packing supplies, and storage solutions. They are skilled in managing various housing types found in both Ottawa — from modern apartments and spacious townhouses — to Toronto’s diverse range of homes, such as downtown high-rise condos and suburban residences, ensuring a smooth and stress-free moving experience on your moving day.

What people say about our services

Thanks to MovingWaldo, I was able to compare the prices of different providers in 2 clicks. I reserved the one that suited me by making a deposit of $100. Subsequently, I was contacted by a MovingWaldo representative to ask if I had any questions. Very appreciated and reassuring! On the big day, the movers arrived on time and were very professional. Finally, I signed the invoice (no bad surprises, the price was identical to the estimate). The payment was charged to my credit card. I highly recommend MovingWaldo - simple, fast and reassuring 👍🏻

I spoke to Dyar from MovingWaldo a couple of times last week about our move after searching moving companies on Google. Although we didn't end up using the service, he provided us with alternate, cost-efficient ways for us to move. Speaking to someone in this industry who tries hard to find the best option on a budget without trying to sell their service if it's not the right fit is a breath of fresh air! Thank you Dyar for your time, patience and knowledge. Will definitely recommend MovingWaldo to family and friends!

They have done a great job finding the right movers, quick response and patience; all you could ask from a moving concierge. They helped us identify the items that need moving to get a right fit truck, avoiding multiple runs. Overall it was a pleasure to work with Matt(Mathieu) and we are finally unpacking boxes slowly. Multiple boxes were wet(first few rows) as it was a rainy day, turns out some trucks leak. Good luck everyone!

Outstanding. A+++. Matt Paquette is a class-act broker in the moving business, providing me with a quote FAR lower than 5 moving companies I contacted. The movers he arranged did an outstanding job, packing & delivering valued family heirlooms from Ontario to 2 Quebec addresses with ease. Seamless. Stress-free. Wow.

MovingWaldo is a most valuable service! I had a professional move to do at the last minute, in the heart of downtown Montreal, and MovingWaldo went above and beyond to find me the perfect movers for my move and help me evaluate my volume. Many thanks to Guillaume, Jasmine and Marc (+++) who are professional, efficient and also super friendly. It almost makes you want to move more often...

I have had negative experiences in the past with moving companies (moved a lot). Dyar from Moving Waldo did a great job finding a moving company who would take good care of all my antique furniture. I loved the fact that someone else did the shopping for me on this one. Thank you Dyar for your great service:)

The AKA Moving team was very professional during our long distance move (05/28/2024). Efficient, friendly, hardworking guys, attention to detail, great dexterity and vigilance when moving the family piano which is over 100 years old. We are very satisfied!!!Thank you AKA 👍for this positively memorable day.

Great experience with Moving Waldo and my agent, Dyar! This was a big inter-city move that could have been extremely stressful, but with Moving Waldo it was easy and efficient. The movers they found for us (Apollo) were careful, clean, and friendly (see pics of them posing with my kid who was obsessed with the big truck). They arrived on time (early) and we were charged a very fair rate that was still close to the quote even though it took longer than expected. Thanks to Moving Waldo for giving me confidence in our choice of movers!

We had a rough start with a moving company who showed up with no equipment such as dolly handtruck or straps. Waldo quickly turned things around and found a new mover for the next day who came prepared and equipped. Everything went smoothly from there on.

Are move took 14 hours between our home and my mom’s house. And we are so happy that we hired Parker’s for our move. All the guys were amazing and made sure everything was wrapped and packed well to keep our belongings safe. They were all friendly and professional throughout the entire day. Would highly recommend them to everyone who is looking for a stress free move. Thank you so much.

The MovingWaldo made the entire process of selecting, scheduling and executing our move almost effortless. One email, one phone call, one video conference estimate and we were all set. Special thanks and great job to Carlos, Juan, Eduardo and Bella from Top Town Movers. Even with all the rain the got our furniture delivered without any issues. I would use this team again and highly recommend them.

I am very grateful to have had Moving Waldo help with my recent move. It took a lot of the work off my plate.Matty found me the best price for a moving company (BCMovers) and was quick to respond to all my questions.BCMovers was an excellent company and went above and beyond on the big day!! I highly recommend using Moving Waldo to help plan a move!

We had not moved in 40 years. Ashley from Moving Waldo was so helpful right from the start of our experience. She was sensitive and responsive to our needs and happy to answer all my questions. Five guys from Montreal Discount Moving arrived on time. This was a complicated move asWe were moving to a condo that was still under renovation, plus we had a lot of art that needed gentle treatment and protection after the move was done (from renovation damage). These guys really knew what they were doing, you could tell they had a lot of experience, they worked together and figured things out and were very fast. Although I had my doubts about both at the very beginning, now, I would recommend Montréal Discount Moving specifically, and Moving Waldo in general, wholeheartedly. Truly excellent and very friendly service from both.

Incredibly helpful. Did a quick online virtual inventory of items in our home and provided quote and booking next day. Movers (Top Town Movers) were the best I've ever worked with and moved our home in half the expected time saving us lots of money. I highly recommend using Moving Waldo as a brokerage to plan your next move.

We used Moving Waldo for a move from two apartments an hour and a half away. Matt was so helpful in planning the move within budget, and the movers were excellent. I would use them again!
