Men In Trucks Moving Inc. is an Ottawa-based moving company serving Renfrew, Ontario and the surrounding Renfrew County. Whether you are settling into a home off Raglan Street, relocating from a rural property in Horton Township, or heading to a lake place in cottage country, we run the full move with our own trucks and crews. We have been moving Ottawa Valley families since 2010, owner-operated, with no subcontractors and no co-loading.
The 100 km Ottawa–Renfrew corridor
Renfrew sits roughly 100 kilometres west-northwest of Ottawa, reached by Highway 417 connecting onto Highway 60 and Highway 17, where the town spreads along the Bonnechere River in the heart of Renfrew County. We know this corridor well: it is a predictable, well-travelled route, which is exactly why we can quote it cleanly. Your crew loads in one place and unloads in the other on the same day for most household moves, and because we never co-load your shipment with anyone else’s, your belongings travel directly from your old door to your new one. The drive each way is factored in as a single, clearly itemized travel charge rather than buried in the hourly clock.
What we move in Renfrew
Renfrew moves tend to look a little different than a downtown Ottawa condo shuffle. We handle small-town family relocations within and around the town, retirees right-sizing into bungalows or apartments, and rural and agricultural properties with outbuildings, workshops, and equipment that need careful planning. We move full houses, partial loads, single heavy items, and everything in between. If you are buying or selling along the Bonnechere riverfront or out through Admaston/Bromley, we will walk through access, parking, and timing before move day so there are no surprises. For larger downsizing projects, our senior moving approach brings the patience and care those transitions deserve, and our packing services can take the boxing off your plate entirely.
Renfrew areas and nearby communities we serve
We serve downtown Renfrew and the residential streets around Raglan Street, the Horton Township surrounds, the Admaston/Bromley area, and properties along the Bonnechere River. Beyond the town itself, we regularly move families across the wider valley — including Arnprior, Calabogie, Cobden, Eganville, Pembroke, and Douglas. If you are relocating between two Ottawa Valley towns, or out to a more distant destination, we cover those routes too. See our dedicated Arnprior movers page, our Pembroke movers page, and our broader Ottawa Valley moving coverage. Longer hauls out of the region are handled through our long-distance moving service.
Transparent pricing for Renfrew moves
Our rates are simple and posted up front: two movers at $150/hr, three movers at $195/hr, four movers at $245/hr, and five movers at $325/hr. For the Ottawa–Renfrew corridor, the round-trip travel is added as a single fixed charge that we itemize separately on your quote — so you can see exactly what the drive costs. A local-to-local move that stays within Renfrew carries no corridor charge at all. The number we quote is the number you pay: your quote number is your invoice number unless the scope of the job actually changes. A typical Renfrew household move runs with a three- or four-mover crew depending on the size of the home and the access at both ends, and we will recommend the right crew size when we put your estimate together.
Cottage and seasonal moves around Calabogie and Highway 60
Renfrew is a natural gateway to Highway 60 cottage country and the lakes and ski hills around Calabogie, and seasonal moves are a big part of what we do out here. Opening a cottage in the spring, closing it down in the fall, or moving furniture between a town home and a lake property all come with their own logistics — narrow waterfront laneways, gravel access roads, docks, decks, and stairs down to the shoreline. We plan these around the season and the property, bringing the right crew size and equipment to protect both your belongings and the cottage itself. If you are coordinating a move that crosses a longer distance into or out of cottage country, our long-distance Renfrew service covers it.
Why Renfrew customers choose Men In Trucks
Renfrew is a small community where word travels, and people here want a mover who shows up when they say they will and charges what they quoted. We are owner-operated with more than 15 years behind us, and that owner stays involved in how jobs are run. We use our own trucks, our own trained crews, and our own Ottawa warehouse — no subcontractors handed your move, and no co-loading mixing your shipment with strangers’. We are fully licensed and insured, with liability, cargo, and WSIB coverage in place. And our pricing promise is straightforward: the quote number is the invoice number unless the scope changes.
Frequently asked questions — Renfrew moves
How far in advance should I book a Renfrew move?
The more notice the better, especially through the busy spring-to-fall season and around month-ends when demand is highest. Because we are travelling out from Ottawa, booking a week or two ahead gives us the best shot at the date and crew size you want. That said, it is always worth calling — we will tell you honestly what is available.
Is there a travel fee for the 100 km corridor?
Yes. The Ottawa–Renfrew corridor carries a single fixed travel charge that covers the round trip, and we itemize it separately on your quote so you can see exactly what it is. A move that stays local within Renfrew does not carry that corridor charge.
Can you handle cottage and Calabogie seasonal moves?
Absolutely. Seasonal cottage opens and closes around Calabogie and the Highway 60 lakes are a regular part of our work. We plan for waterfront access, gravel laneways, and stairs, and we bring the crew and equipment suited to the property.
What about rural laneways and winter access?
We move plenty of rural and agricultural properties, so long laneways, gravel drives, and tight farm access are familiar territory. In winter, please make sure laneways and walkways are cleared and salted ahead of time — it keeps the crew safe and the move moving. Let us know about access conditions when you book so we can plan accordingly.
Are same-day Renfrew moves possible?
Same-day service depends entirely on crew and truck availability and the distance involved. Because Renfrew is a 100 km run from Ottawa, same-day is harder to guarantee than booking ahead, but it is always worth a phone call — we will let you know right away whether we can make it work.
