The Kingston Moving Guide
Everything you need to plan a smooth, affordable move in Kingston, Ontario, from the local team at Kingston Pro Movers.
When to book your Kingston movers
Kingston's busiest moving days fall at the end of each month and around May 1 and September 1, when Queen's University, St. Lawrence College and RMC students change residences. Book two to four weeks ahead for these dates. Mid-month and weekday moves usually have more open time slots and more flexible start times.
How moving costs are calculated
Kingston Pro Movers charges hourly based on crew size, plus a truck fee and travel time between our yard, your pickup and your drop-off. A one-bedroom apartment typically needs two movers, while a three-bedroom house usually needs three or four movers and a 26 ft truck. Our online quote tool shows a full estimate before you book.
Packing tips that save time
Pack everything into sealed boxes of similar size before the crew arrives, label each box by room, and keep valuables and documents with you. Dismantle any items that require it to fit out the door. Clear hallways and reserve elevators in condo and apartment buildings ahead of time.
Student moves in Kingston
Students moving between residences, rentals in the University District, or home for the summer can use our Queen's Student Move service. Small loads with a few boxes, a bed and a desk are often finished in under three hours, keeping costs low.
Long distance and regional moves
We regularly move families and businesses from Kingston to Ottawa, Toronto, Belleville, Brockville and Gananoque. For longer trips, drive time is included in the estimate so there are no surprises on moving day.
