InstaMove is a locally owned moving company based in Ottawa, Ontario. We provide full-service residential and commercial moving across the entire National Capital Region, including Kanata, Stittsville, Barrhaven, Orléans, Nepean, and the downtown core (Centretown, The Glebe, and Westboro). We also offer long-distance relocation services from Ottawa to Toronto, Montreal, and across Eastern Ontario.

For 2026, local moving costs in Ottawa are typically based on an hourly rate. For a standard 2-person crew and a fully equipped truck, rates generally range from $140 to $180 per hour, depending on the day of the week and the season. InstaMove provides transparent, "no-hidden-fee" quotes that include the truck, fuel, and basic valuation coverage.

If your move is in high-traffic areas like the ByWard Market, Elgin Street, or Centretown, you may require a City of Ottawa Temporary Parking Permit or an "Encroachment Permit" to legally park a large moving truck on the street. InstaMove can help you navigate these requirements, and we recommend applying for permits at least 7 business days in advance to avoid City of Ottawa by-law fines.

Yes, we specialize in Ottawa condo and apartment moves. We are familiar with the strict moving-day policies of major towers in Little Italy, Westboro, and the Rideau Street corridor. We recommend customers book their service elevator for a 4-hour window and confirm that their building's loading dock can accommodate a standard 26-foot moving truck.

InstaMove provides Released Value Protection (basic coverage) as a standard for all moves. For high-value items, we offer Full Value Protection options, ensuring your furniture and electronics are covered at their current replacement value. We are a fully licensed and insured Ontario moving company, which is often a requirement for moving into high-rise buildings in Ottawa.

Absolutely. We have the specialized equipment—including floor runners, piano skids, and heavy-duty padding—to safely move upright pianos and fragile artwork. Our teams are trained in the specific logistics of Ottawa’s older homes in neighborhoods like Old Ottawa South, where narrow hallways and steep stairs require extra care.
