Why Get Movers Vancouver BC is Voted as the Best Moving Company in Vancouver ?
Get Movers Vancouver BC has been voted as the best moving company in Vancouver due to a combination of transparent affordable pricing, high professional standards, and verified customer satisfaction. It was officially recognized as Vancouver’s Best Moving Company in 2025 and has received the Consumer Choice Award.
Most Vancouver customers don’t start by looking for the cheapest movers — they start by trying to avoid problems. Missed arrival times, surprise charges, cash-only “flat rate” moves, and crews that don’t handle belongings with care are some of the most common concerns we hear before a move. That’s why our Vancouver moving process is built around clear pricing, preparation, and accountability, so customers know exactly what to expect before move day begins. We believe that "cheaping out on movers is one of the stupidest things you can do," and our service reflects this commitment to quality.
What Sets Get Movers Vancouver BC Apart
Vancouver Moving Experience That Feels Affordable and Organized
Whether you’re coordinating a condo move, helping a family member who can’t lift on their own, or planning a full house relocation, our goal is the same: deliver a Vancouver move that feels affordably priced, well-organized, and handled by people who care about doing the job right.
How to Choose a Vancouver Mover in 2026 ?
Choosing a reliable moving company in 2026 requires a strategic approach that combines verifying local credentials, ensuring total pricing transparency, and understanding Vancouver's specific logistical hurdles. To ensure a stress-free experience, follow these six critical steps:
Licensing and Insurance
Ensure the mover is licensed to operate in Vancouver and carries a valid Certificate of Insurance (COI) covering both cargo and general liability. Get Movers Vancouver BC exceeds this by providing a "Guaranteed Protection" policy that includes workers’ compensation.
Professional Affiliations
Look for members of the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM), which requires at least two years in business and strict adherence to service standards. Choosing an established firm with over 10 years of experience and a 2025 Consumer Choice Award minimizes your risk.
Physical Location
Avoid "virtual-only" operations; verify that the company has a local warehouse and branded trucks. Having a physical presence at 5307 Victoria Dr unit 173, Vancouver, BC V5P 3V6 ensures we are a legitimate local entity, distinguishing us from "little guys that simply go rent a U Haul."
Walkthroughs
For an accurate 2026 estimate, professional movers should offer video or in-person walkthroughs to assess furniture volume and access challenges like steep stairs or narrow hallways.
Binding Not-to-Exceed Quotes
Insist On Written, itemized estimate that includes a Binding Not-to-Exceed Quote, which acts as a guaranteed price cap. This protects you from "bait-and-switch" pricing and "flat-rate games".
Identify Hidden Fees
Clarify if the quote includes fuel surcharges, floor runners, and moving blankets. Reputable companies like Get Movers include these essential protection tools at no extra charge, and a "flatfeeforfuel50.00" for complete clarity.
Neighborhood Specialization
A top-tier mover must understand the nuances of Vancouver’s quadrants, such as strict elevator bookings in Downtown condos, loading dock coordination in the Inner City, and steep driveway navigation in West Vancouver.
Vancouver Weather Experts
Vancouver’s weather can change instantly due to sudden wet conditions, fog, or snow. Ensure your movers are weather experts prepared for all conditions with specialized equipment to protect your home from rain and wet debris.
Direct Employees Only
Confirm the company uses its own trained, background-checked staff rather than temporary day labor or subcontractors. Full-time teams provide more consistent service and safer handling of fragile items.
Specialized Equipment
Ensure the crew arrives with specialized gear like banister padding, floor runners, and thick moving blankets to navigate diverse housing types, from historic Gastown apartments to modern urban infills
Booking Strategy
If your schedule is flexible, booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday can often lead to lower rates or mid-week discounts; avoid afternoon moves to prevent elevator booking issues.
Travel and Outskirt Fees
Always ask about travel time charges for surrounding areas like Richmond or Burnaby, as these can impact the final cost. This also addresses concerns like "mover in Surrey driving out to West Vancouver is going to charge you driving time."
What Types of Moves Do We Handle in Vancouver?
Vancouver moves aren’t one-size-fits-all. From small apartment relocations to full house moves and business transitions, our Vancouver moving teams handle a wide range of move types with the same planning, care, and pricing transparency.
