How Our Moving Quotes Work
A moving quote should never be a mystery number. This page explains exactly how a moving quote Toronto customers receive from Moving ASAP is built, step by step and in plain language, so you know what you are paying for and what we need from you. Moving ASAP is a licensed and insured Toronto mover with more than 10 years of experience.
Our Quote Process, Step by Step
Step 1: You Call or Request a Quote Online
Every quote starts with a conversation. Call (647) 540-1453 or request a quote online, whichever suits you. Quotes are free, with no obligation, and you will reach a real person — not a call centre.
Step 2: A Moving Coordinator Reviews Your Move
A Moving Coordinator reviews the details that decide your price: your date, pickup and drop-off locations, home size, inventory, and access at both ends — stairs, elevators, parking, and loading areas. If anything is unclear, we ask before we quote, not after.
Step 3: You Get a Clear, Itemized Quote
You receive a clear, itemized quote showing the crew size, hourly rate, expected hours, and truck fee for your distance. For local Toronto moves, our rates are simple: two movers at $130 per hour or three movers at $190 per hour, a three-hour minimum, and a truck fee of $100 plus $0.95 per kilometre from pickup to drop-off. You can also start with our moving cost estimator for an instant guide price.
Step 4: Your Price Is Confirmed Before Moving Day
There are no hidden fees in a Moving ASAP quote. If your plans change — a different date, more furniture, an extra stop — we update the quote in writing. The price you approve is confirmed before moving day, so moving day holds no financial surprises.
What Information to Have Ready
You do not need a perfect inventory to start, but the more accurate your details, the more accurate your quote. Have these ready when you call:
- Your preferred moving date, and any flexibility around it
- Pickup and drop-off addresses, including unit numbers
- Home size and a room-by-room list of major items
- Access details: stairs, elevator bookings, loading docks, and parking
- Anything heavy or special, such as a piano or large appliances
- Packing needs: whether you will pack or want our packing service
Photos or a short video walkthrough help even more — they let your Coordinator see volume and access at a glance. Email them to info@movingasap.ca if that is easier.
Hourly vs Flat-Rate Quotes, Explained
Local Toronto moves are quoted by the hour, because the biggest cost is the crew’s time, and that time depends on your inventory and access. You pay your crew’s hourly rate, the three-hour minimum applies, and the truck fee covers the truck and the kilometres driven. Every line on the quote maps to something real.
Long-distance moves work differently. Depending on the distance and the size of your load, a long-distance move may be priced flat instead of hourly, because distance and load size matter most. Your Coordinator will explain which structure applies and what the total includes before you agree to anything.
Red Flags in Other Movers’ Quotes
- Vague pricing. A quote with no crew size, hourly rate, or truck fee explained is a guess, not a quote. Ask for every line in writing.
- Large deposits. Be cautious with a company demanding a big payment before it has moved a single box. Ask what any deposit covers, in writing.
- No written quote. A verbal price can change on moving day. If a mover will not put the quote in writing, that is your answer about how the move will go.
- Prices far below everyone else. A quote that looks too cheap usually leaves something out — hours, the truck, or fees added later.
Frequently Asked Questions About Moving Quotes
How do I get a moving quote from Moving ASAP?
Call (647) 540-1453 or request a quote online. A Moving Coordinator will review your date, locations, home size, inventory, and access, then send you a clear, itemized quote — free, with no obligation.
What information do you need to quote my move accurately?
Your moving date, pickup and drop-off addresses, home size, a room-by-room inventory of major items, and access details such as stairs, elevators, and parking.
Will my final price match my quote?
Yes, as long as the move matches what was described. Your itemized quote is confirmed before moving day, there are no hidden fees, and if anything changes we update the quote in writing before the move — never as a surprise on the day.
Do long-distance moves get hourly or flat-rate quotes?
It depends on the distance and the size of your load. Long-distance moves may be priced at a flat rate rather than by the hour, and your Coordinator will explain which applies and what the total includes before you book.
