Award winner for the Best Moving Company
Get Movers Vancouver BC serves the entire city — from Downtown and the Inner City, to North & West Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, and the Sunshine Coast. Most of our Vancouver 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 Vancouver 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 Vancouver moving team built around accurate estimates, careful handling, and clear communication from start to finish. Our trained, vetted crews ensure professionalism, so you won't experience issues like "one of the two movers smoked the entire time.. in our house!!"
Our local Vancouver movers are trained professionals who handle moves across the city every day. From condo and apartment relocations that require elevator coordination to house moves with tight hallways, stairs, or wet conditions, our crews are prepared to manage the real challenges that come with moving in Vancouver.
Every member of our Vancouver team is background-checked and trained in proper packing, furniture protection, and safe loading techniques. We use floor runners, padded wrapping, and secure loading methods to protect your home and belongings. Customers often tell us they chose Get Movers Vancouver BC because they wanted accurate estimates, respectful crews, and no surprise fees — and that’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every move.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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."
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, and a "flatfeeforfuel50.00" for complete clarity.
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’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.
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 Gastown 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; avoid afternoon moves to prevent elevator booking issues.
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."
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.
