    Downtown Moving Tips and Local Planning Notes



  • The "Elevator" Factor: Many buildings in Downtown have strict elevator booking requirements or are walk-ups. Most movers charge their standard hourly rate, but the move will take longer if elevators are not reserved or if there are many stairs. Always mention elevator access and booking status when booking.


  • Parking Considerations: Parking in Downtown is highly restricted. It is crucial to check with building management for loading dock access or to obtain temporary "No Parking" permits from the City of Vancouver, especially on busy streets.


  • Tight Turns: Many buildings in Downtown, particularly older ones or high-rises, can have tight entryways, narrow hallways, or tricky elevator dimensions. Measure your doorways, hallways, and elevator interior, and ensure larger furniture can pass or be disassembled/reassembled by professionals.

Get Movers Vancouver BC applies these same Downtown planning steps—elevator logistics, access timing, and parking coordination—backed by insured moves, “Guaranteed Protection” policy, written estimates, transparent hourly pricing, and Not-to-Exceed options (when eligible).
