What will your Winnipeg move cost? Find out in seconds.

How the estimate is calculated

Local Winnipeg moves are billed by the hour for a crew and truck. The calculator multiplies our hourly rate by the typical number of hours for your home size, adds a flat travel amount for moves across Manitoba, and adds packing at roughly 25% of crew time when selected. It then shows a range of about 10% under to 15% over that figure, because real homes vary.

Rates include the truck, fuel, moving blankets, dollies, floor runners, and basic furniture disassembly and reassembly. GST (5%) is added to the final invoice; PST does not apply to moving services in Manitoba.

Typical hours by home size

• Studio: about 3 hours
• 1 bedroom: about 4 hours
• 2 bedroom: about 6 hours
• 3 bedroom: about 8 hours
• 4+ bedroom: about 10 hours

These assume a normally furnished home that is packed and ready when the crew arrives. A well-prepared home often finishes under these numbers; a home with a lot still to box, a long carry from the truck, or several flights of stairs can run over.

What can change the final number

The calculator covers the big drivers. A written quote also accounts for the details below, which is why we always confirm in writing before move day.

• Access at both ends. Stairs without an elevator, long carries from the parking spot, or a truck that cannot get close all add time.
• Elevator bookings. Many Winnipeg condos require a reserved elevator window — tell us the building and we plan around it.
• Specialty items. Pianos, safes, gym equipment and large glass or stone pieces need extra hands or equipment.
• How much is packed. The single biggest variable. Our packing services take it off your plate; the calculator's packing option approximates that cost.
• Timing. Month-end, Saturdays and May through August are our busiest windows. Mid-week and mid-month dates give the most flexibility.
• Distance beyond Winnipeg. Moves across Manitoba add travel; see Manitoba-wide moves for how we price those.

Why three movers usually beats two

A third mover adds $50 an hour but typically cuts a 2- or 3-bedroom job by a third or more. The total is usually lower, the day is shorter, and heavy pieces move more safely. Toggle the crew size above to compare.
