A weekend move is often the most realistic solution for people who work Monday to Friday. It avoids asking for time off and facilitates coordination with family and friends who are available on Saturday or Sunday. Residential traffic is sometimes more fluid in the morning, which improves the overall efficiency of the move and reduces the stress associated with tight schedules and professional obligations.
The price of a weekend move varies according to volume, distance and access to housing. Several businesses add a supplement on Saturday or Sunday. At WillGo Moving, we prefer a transparent approach, with a free quote and no hidden costs, except for choosing the date. The costs are explained clearly so that you can plan your budget without unpleasant surprises.

Choosing between Saturday and Sunday depends on your priorities and the regulations of your building. Saturdays often offer more flexibility, with businesses open and staff present. Sundays may be quieter in traffic, but some areas have hourly noise restrictions.
A move on Saturday or Sunday requires checking municipal regulations, reserving an elevator, and parking the truck. Some condos require fixed time slots. Planning ahead helps avoid delays, fines, or disputes with the trustee or neighbours.

The best day depends on your availability, your budget and the rules of your building. During the week, rates may be slightly lower and availability higher. However, for full-time workers, the weekend is still the most practical solution. Saturday is generally the most popular, as it offers a full day and allows access to shops for last-minute purchases. Sundays may offer lighter traffic, but some municipalities have noise restrictions. The ideal is to plan early in the morning and confirm local rules in order to optimize the time and avoid unexpected complications.
In many cases, yes: some businesses apply a weekend supplement that can range from 10 to 25% of the usual hourly rate. This increase is explained by strong demand on Saturday and Sunday. However, the final price also depends on the volume to be transported, the distance, the number of floors and the access to the lift. It's important to ask for a detailed quote to understand exactly what's included. Comparing offers helps to avoid hidden costs. Early planning and a morning schedule can also help keep costs down, even during periods of high demand.
Yes, it is allowed to move to Quebec on Sundays. However, some cities or districts apply noise rules, especially early in the morning or in the evening. Condominiums may also have their own restrictions on using elevators or loading docks on Sundays. It is therefore essential to check with the manager or trustee before confirming the date. Good coordination helps avoid fines or delays on moving day. By planning correctly and respecting the authorized schedules, a move on Sundays can take place efficiently and without major problems.
It is recommended to book at least two to three weeks in advance for a weekend move. The last Saturdays of the month are particularly popular and can fill up quickly. The sooner you book, the more likely you are to get the schedule you want and avoid a price increase due to high demand. Early booking also makes it possible to organize logistical aspects, such as reserving an elevator or requesting a parking permit for the truck. Waiting until the last minute can limit your options and increase stress. Planning early ensures a smoother and better structured transition.
Yes, many professional movers offer services on Saturday and Sunday, especially in major regions such as Montreal, Laval and Longueuil. However, not all businesses have full teams on the weekend. It is important to confirm that the service offered on the weekend is equivalent to that offered during the week, in terms of experience and insurance. Some companies mobilize temporary teams that are less experienced during busy periods. Checking customer reviews and asking for insurance details can help make an informed choice. A qualified team ensures speed, property protection and compliance with established deadlines.
Truck rentals may seem cheap, but weekends are the most popular time of year and availability is often limited. Consideration should also be given to the time required to load and unload, gas, insurance, and the stress of operating a large vehicle. Hiring professional movers saves several hours and reduces the risk of injuries or property damage. When all of the indirect costs are added up, the price difference may not be as big as it seems at first. For many households, professional service offers a better balance between efficiency, security and peace of mind.
