Moving in Vancouver
Vancouver is a city of contrasts: downtown and West End towers, character walk-ups in Kitsilano, Fairview and Mount Pleasant, and houses in East Vancouver, Kerrisdale and Dunbar. Each calls for a different plan, and street parking is tight almost everywhere.
Because we are based in Surrey, travel time to Vancouver is added to the hourly total. It is included in your written quote, so there are no surprises on moving day.
Parking, lanes and truck size
Downtown and West End towers
Booked elevators, loading docks and strict move hours are common. Confirm them with your building before you pick a date.
Walk-ups in Kitsilano, Fairview and Mount Pleasant
Stairs and narrow hallways add time. Tell us the number of flights and the width of the stairwell.
Lane and street access
Some buildings load from a lane. A 27 ft truck may not fit every lane, so we may recommend a smaller truck.
Houses in Kerrisdale, Dunbar and East Van
Driveways, basements and stairs decide the crew size.
Traffic, bridges and timing
Granville Street, Main Street, Broadway and the Burrard and Granville bridges can slow a truck at peak hours. We plan start times around traffic and ask about parking restrictions so the truck can stop close to the door.
If street parking is limited, ask your building or the city about reserving space for the truck.
