Frequently asked questions about Ottawa movers

How do I choose the best movers in Ottawa? +
Choose an Ottawa moving company that provides clear written terms, explains what’s included, and confirms the right crew size. Ask about protection (wrap, blankets), timing, parking plans, and how they handle condos/elevators. The best Ottawa movers communicate clearly and show up prepared.
What information do Ottawa movers need to give an accurate quote? +
For accurate movers Ottawa pricing, share: pickup/drop-off addresses (or postal codes), home type (house/condo/apartment), floors, stairs, elevator booking, parking distance, heavy items (fridge, safe, treadmill), and any disassembly needed. Photos or a quick inventory list speeds up the quote.
Do you handle condo and apartment moves in Ottawa (elevators, bookings, loading docks)? +
Yes. Many Ottawa movers (including us) coordinate elevator reservations, loading dock rules, and building move windows. If your building requires a certificate of insurance or move authorization form, request it early so your Ottawa move stays on schedule.
Do I need a parking permit or “No Parking” sign for moving in Ottawa? +
Sometimes. In busier areas like Downtown/Centretown, The Glebe, or main roads, a temporary curb space request or parking coordination can prevent delays. Your Ottawa moving company should help you plan the safest legal parking option for the truck.
How far in advance should I book movers in Ottawa? +
Weekends, end-of-month, and summer dates book fastest in Ottawa. If you want the best time window and crew availability, book as early as you can. If you’re last-minute, contact us—experienced Ottawa movers can often fit you in with the right scheduling.
What should I do before my Ottawa movers arrive? +
Pack small items, label boxes by room, clear walkways, and set aside essentials (IDs, keys, meds, chargers). If possible, reserve the elevator (condos) and keep a clear path for loading. This helps your Ottawa moving company finish faster and keeps the day stress-free.
Can you provide packing help and moving supplies in Ottawa? +
Yes—packing support and supplies can be arranged depending on your move. If you’re hiring Ottawa movers for packing, ask about fragile items, wardrobe boxes, dish packs, mattress covers, and TV protection so everything arrives safely.
Do you move offices and commercial spaces in Ottawa? +
Yes. Our commercial crews support office moves, dock-to-dock deliveries, and scheduled relocations to reduce downtime. If you need an Ottawa moving company for business moves, share your access hours, dock rules, and delivery timelines.
Do Ottawa movers work in winter (snow, ice, cold)? +
Yes—Ottawa winter moves are common. Clear snow/ice from walkways, salt steps, and protect floors at entrances. A professional Ottawa moving company plans extra traction, safer carries, and protection for your home and furniture.
Are you insured, and what protection is included? +
A reputable Ottawa moving company should be able to explain coverage and provide documentation if required by buildings. On move day, protection typically includes careful loading practices and furniture protection (wrap/blankets) as needed. Ask us for the best protection plan for your specific Ottawa move.
What areas do you cover besides Ottawa? +
We focus heavily on local moves within Ottawa, and we also help with nearby routes depending on scheduling. If you’re moving to or from surrounding regions, contact us and we’ll confirm availability and the best plan.

Ottawa Movers / Ottawa Moving Company $2,000,000 Liability $50,000 Cargo (Deductible applies) Full Value Protection (Optional)

Cancellation & Rescheduling

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify Men In Trucks Moving Inc. as soon as possible. Cancellations or changes made close to the move date may be subject to fees due to reserved crew/truck scheduling.

  • Rescheduling: We will do our best to accommodate a new date/time based on availability.
  • Late cancellations / no-access: If the crew arrives and cannot begin due to access issues (no keys, no elevator booking, parking restrictions, etc.), standby or minimum charges may apply.
  • Deposits: If a deposit was collected, it may be applied to a rescheduled date or handled per your booking terms.

Base Coverage Included

Our service includes $2,000,000 liability coverage and a $50,000 cargo insurance policy with a $1,000 deductible. The customer is responsible for the deductible on any approved insurance claim.

  • Additional coverages (optional): If you require extended coverage, please contact us—different coverage options may be available for purchase.
  • Claims process: Coverage does not automatically pay for damage—responsibility must be established.
Important: To start a claim process, damage must be reported promptly to the moving crew and the move invoice must be paid in full. Please inspect items and the home before the crew leaves site and bring any concerns to the crew immediately.
Full Value Protection (Optional – Not Included in Every Move) +

Full Value Protection is optional and is not automatically included with every move. If you would like this coverage, please request it in advance—additional cost may apply and availability may vary.

Full-value protection (also called “full replacement value”) allows two possible outcomes if articles are destroyed or damaged during the move and responsibility is established. The insurance adjuster (not the consumer) decides how amends will be made:

  • Repair: The item may be repaired so it is in the same condition as it was before the damage occurred.
  • Replace: The item may be replaced with another of like-kind.

Items valued over $2,000 are considered High Value (HV) and require advance notice, additional documentation, and may require additional insurance. HV items must be mentioned in advance to ensure appropriate protection options are available.

Any item valued over $2,000 must have a proof of purchase or appraisal available upon loading.
