How to Get a Moving Quote in the GTA
Most moving quotes in the GTA start with a form, a phone number, and a wait. MD Moving's instant quote tool works the other way: it gives you a number first, built from the same published hourly model we post on every page, before it ever asks for your contact details.
Get a number before you give up your information
Enter a few details about your move - home size, rough distance, timing - and the instant quote tool returns an estimate built from our real rate: $165 per hour for a 2 person crew, with a 3 hour minimum. You see the number first. Contact details come after, only if you want to move forward.
What makes an estimate accurate
An estimate is only as good as the details behind it. The things that matter most are how much you're moving, how many stairs or how far the elevator is from your door, and whether you'll need extra movers to keep the job on schedule. Extra movers are billed at $55 per hour on top of the base crew rate.
Home size is the biggest factor. 2 movers typically clear a 1 bedroom apartment in 3 to 4 hours, while a 3 bedroom home usually runs 6 to 9 hours. The more accurately you describe your move up front, the closer your instant quote lands to your final bill.
What we confirm by phone, and why
Once you've seen your instant estimate, a short call locks in the details a form can't capture - truck access, any heavy items over 250 lbs like a piano or safe, and your preferred moving date. That call is where we confirm the final estimate, not where the price gets padded.
We don't promise a fixed all-in number sight unseen, and we won't tell you the rate is locked forever - an honest hourly quote depends on the actual job. What we will do is walk you through exactly how your number was built.
Ready when you are
Whether you're comparing movers or ready to book, getting your quote costs nothing and doesn't require handing over your phone number first. Run the numbers, then call us with any questions before you decide.
Good to know
Does the instant quote tool ask for my phone number first?
No. It gives you an estimate based on our published hourly rate and your move details first. Contact information only comes into it if you want to book or ask questions.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
It's built from the same rate and minimum-hour policy we use for every job, so it's a real working number, not a teaser. The final estimate gets confirmed by phone once we know specifics like access, timing, and any heavy items.
What information should I have ready for an accurate quote?
Home size, roughly how far you're moving, whether there are stairs or an elevator involved, and any large or heavy items. The more specific you are, the closer your quote lands to your final number.
Why do you confirm the quote by phone instead of just booking online?
A short call lets us confirm details a form can miss, like building access rules or a piano that needs extra care. It protects you from a surprise on moving day and protects us from underquoting your job.
