Moving Costs

Getting moving quotes is a great way to start choosing a moving company. Be careful when comparing moving quotes, however, as some may only be estimates and many do not include all of the extra charges associated with your move.

The known and unknown costs of moving typically include:

• Truck rental
• On average, you may pay an additional $.69 / kilometre
• Petrol - On average, you may pay $1.30 / kilometre*
• Insurance
• Time spent driving a rental truck
• Accommodations
• Meals
• Vehicle transport or additional petrol costs for driving your car separately
• Storage
• Tolls

At PODS we are upfront with all your moving costs so there's no need to worry about extra expenses adding up later. Compare the additional moving costs above to the PODS solution below.

A PODS moving quote will include:

• Transportation of your goods - we do all the driving so you don't have to drive a truck in unfamiliar territory or worry about accidents, parking and breakdowns.
• No additional truck charges per kilometre or fuel charges.
• The flexibility to load and unload on your schedule versus one day with a rental truck plus potential late fees.
• Ground-level container to load your belongings, instead of climbing up a ramp multiple times to load a truck.
• Storage of your container on-site or in one of our secure Storage Centres.
• Secure moving containers to keep your stuff safe.
