Long distance moving from Surrey

A long distance move needs more planning than a local one. The truck has further to travel, timing matters more, and a small mistake in inventory or access can change the plan. We start with the details: where you are moving, when you need to be there and what is going.

Surrey Movers handles moves from Surrey to Vancouver Island, the BC Interior and other provinces. You get one written quote for the route, with the loading date and the delivery window stated clearly.

Where we move you

Vancouver Island

Ferry sailings and reservations affect timing, so we plan the crossing into your delivery window and confirm it in your quote.

The BC Interior

Routes through the mountains can be affected by weather and road conditions, especially in winter. We plan timing with that in mind.

Across Canada

For moves to other provinces, send us your destination and date and we will quote the route and delivery window.

How long distance pricing works

Long distance moves are quoted for the specific job rather than billed by the hour from door to door. The main factors are the distance, how much you are moving, access at both ends and the time of year. The more accurate your inventory, the more accurate your quote.

Send photos of large furniture and a list of rooms. Tell us about stairs, elevators, parking and any items that need special handling, such as a piano. A written quote then covers the route, the crew and the terms.

How to prepare for a long distance move

  • Declutter first. Every item you do not move is money you do not spend on transport.
  • Pack an essentials box with clothing, toiletries, medication, chargers and documents, and keep it with you.
  • Photograph valuable and fragile items before they are packed.
  • Arrange utilities, internet and address changes for both homes ahead of time.
  • Confirm elevator and loading rules at the destination building.

Insurance and high-value items

We carry basic moving insurance, like other moving companies. Basic coverage has limits, so ask what it covers before you book. Tell us about artwork, instruments, electronics and other high-value items in advance so we can plan how they are handled, and consider your own home insurance for the gap.
