Award winner for the Best Moving Company
Get Movers Calgary AB serves the entire city — from inner-city neighbourhoods like Downtown, Beltline, Kensington, and the University area to communities across the NW Calagry, SE Calgary, and surrounding residential zones. Most of our Calgary work comes from referrals and repeat customers who were looking for an affordable moving company in the city but didn’t want to gamble on cash-only movers, surprise fees, or crews that don’t show up.
We regularly hear from people who just want movers who are on time, careful with their belongings, and honest about pricing. Whether you’re a student moving out of an apartment, a new grad who just got a $2,500+ quote that didn’t make sense, or a family planning a full house move, our goal stays the same: give you a Calgary move that feels affordable, organized, and handled with care from start to finish.
Instead of guessing with random movers or cash-only operators, you get a Calgary moving team built around accurate estimates, careful handling, and clear communication from start to finish.

It was officially recognized as Calgary’s Best Moving Company in 2025 and has received the Consumer Choice Award.
Most Calgary 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 Calgary moving process is built around clear pricing, preparation, and accountability, so customers know exactly what to expect before move day begins.
Calgary moves aren’t one-size-fits-all. From small apartment relocations to full house moves and business transitions, our Calgary moving teams handle a wide range of move types with the same planning, care, and pricing transparency.
Choosing a reliable moving company in 2026 requires a strategic approach that combines verifying local credentials, ensuring total pricing transparency, and understanding Calgary's specific logistical hurdles. To ensure a stress-free experience, follow these six critical steps:
Ensure the mover is licensed to operate in Calgary and carries a valid Certificate of Insurance (COI) covering both cargo and general liability. Get Movers Calgary AB exceeds this by providing a "Guaranteed Protection" policy that includes workers’ compensation.
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 12 years of experience and a 2025 Consumer Choice Award minimizes your risk.
Avoid "virtual-only" operations; verify that the company has a local warehouse and branded trucks. Having a physical presence at 6115 4 St SE ensures we are a legitimate local entity.
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.
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".
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.
A top-tier mover must understand the nuances of Calgary’s quadrants, such as strict elevator bookings in the Beltline, loading dock coordination in the Downtown Core, and steep driveway navigation in Edgemont.
Calgary’s weather can change instantly due to Chinooks or extreme cold. Ensure your movers are winter experts prepared for -20°C conditions with specialized equipment to protect your home from snow and salt.
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.
Ensure the crew arrives with specialized gear like banister padding, floor runners, and thick moving blankets to navigate diverse housing types, from historic Mission apartments to modern urban infills
If your schedule is flexible, booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday can often lead to lower rates or mid-week discounts.
Always ask about travel time charges for surrounding areas like Airdrie or Cochrane, as these can impact the final cost.
Our transparent rates typically range from 110/hr for two movers, secured by a Binding Not-to-Exceed Quote—the industry standard for guaranteeing a fixed price or maximum cap on your move day. Unlike companies that demand large cash deposits upfront, we follow reputable standards by collecting payment only upon delivery. Every written estimate we provide is fully itemized, clearly detailing labor, materials, and any specific surcharges for stairs, long carries, or heavy items like pianos to ensure you are never surprised by hidden fees.
