A local move within Longueuil in 2026 runs about $600 to $1,200 for a small home, but the same move over a bridge to or from the island of Montreal adds an hour or more of paid travel, and on July 1 the whole South Shore books out weeks ahead. Knowing what a Longueuil move actually costs, and what makes it different from a move on the island, is how you avoid overpaying.

How much a Longueuil move costs in 2026
Longueuil rates track the Greater Montreal market, billed by the hour with a crew and truck and a 3 or 4 hour minimum. These are realistic 2026 ranges for a local South Shore move, all in with crew, truck and travel, without stair surcharges or professional packing.
| Home size | Off-peak | Around July 1 |
|---|---|---|
| 3½ (1BR) | $600 to $850 | $1,000 to $1,800 |
| 4½ (2BR) | $850 to $1,300 | $1,500 to $2,300 |
| 5½ (3BR) | $1,150 to $1,750 | $1,800 to $2,900 |
| 6½ (4BR) | $1,750 to $2,800 | $2,900 to $4,500 |
Every move is different. Stairs, a piano, professional packing and distance all move the total. Our moving cost calculator gives you a range in seconds.
What makes a Longueuil move different
Longueuil sits on the South Shore, across the St. Lawrence from the island of Montreal. That one fact changes a few things:
- Bridge crossings. A move to or from the island crosses the Jacques-Cartier or Samuel-De Champlain bridge. That adds travel time, which is billed, and traffic timing matters. A good mover plans the crossing outside rush hour.
- Travel time billing. Off-island moves add travel to the clock. Ask any mover how they bill it, included, a flat hour, or portal to portal, and get it in writing.
- Houses and townhouses. Much of Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and Boucherville is houses and townhouses with driveways, which is easier access than a Plateau triplex, and often a bit cheaper per move.
- Parking. Most South Shore addresses have driveway or street parking without the borough permit hassle of central Montreal, but confirm for condo towers in Brossard near the REM.
The July 1 effect on the South Shore
Quebec concentrates lease endings on July 1, and Longueuil is no exception. Prices roughly double the same week, and the best CTQ-licensed movers are full 8 to 12 weeks ahead. If your dates are flexible, moving even a week off the peak, or mid month on a weekday, is the single biggest way to cut your bill. Our 30 day moving checklist lays out the timeline.
How to choose a mover in Longueuil
The rules are the same across Quebec. Confirm a valid CTQ licence, real cargo insurance, and a detailed written quote before you book. A written estimate is protected by Quebec’s 10 percent cap under the Consumer Protection Act, so the final bill cannot run more than 10 percent over it without your consent. Our full guide on how to choose a mover walks through every check.
