Scarborough Movers

The cost of moving in Scarborough depends on several factors, including the size of your move, distance, truck size, number of movers, and any additional services such as packing or storage. At One Day Movers, we provide hourly and transparent pricing with no hidden fees: what we quote is what you pay for your Scarborough move.

Scarborough has neighbourhoods for every lifestyle. Guildwood and Cliffcrest are popular with families for their proximity to the Scarborough Bluffs, spacious homes, and access to excellent schools. Agincourt and Tam O’Shanter-Sullivan offer a strong sense of community, great transit connections, and a wide range of housing options. Birch Cliff and Cliffside attract professionals and young families looking for a quieter lakeside setting. The best neighbourhood depends on your lifestyle, commute, and budget.

The best time to move in Scarborough depends on availability, budget, and building requirements. Spring and summer are the busiest moving seasons, especially from May through September, as many leases begin and end during this period. If you have flexibility, moving in the middle of the month and on weekdays often provides better availability and a smoother experience, since these dates are typically less crowded, making it easier to coordinate access to buildings and avoid heavy traffic on major routes like Kingston Road, Ellesmere Avenue, and Lawrence Avenue East. Morning moves are especially recommended, where longer travel distances between neighbourhoods and peak traffic on the 401 and Eglinton Avenue East can add time to your move. Winter moves can be more flexible and easier to schedule, but snow and icy roads, particularly on side streets and near the Bluffs, should be factored into your planning.

It is customary to tip movers in Scarborough. The general rule of thumb is to base your tip on a percentage of your total move cost, with fifteen to twenty percent of the total cost as an industry average. If tipping is not possible, positive reviews and referrals are always a great way to show appreciation.

Booking two to four weeks ahead is a good general rule in Scarborough, and earlier during the busy spring and summer season. Mid-week and mid-month dates tend to have more availability than weekends or month-end.
