Montreal to Quebec City Movers
Moving from Montreal to Quebec City — two of Quebec's greatest cities connected by a smooth 2.5-hour drive along the St. Lawrence.
The Montreal-to-Quebec City move follows one of two autoroutes paralleling the St. Lawrence River. Autoroute 20 runs along the south shore through Saint-Hyacinthe, Drummondville, and Victoriaville before crossing to Quebec City via the Pierre-Laporte Bridge. Autoroute 40 takes the north shore through Berthierville, Trois-Rivières, and Donnacona. Both are well-maintained four-lane highways. Since this is an intra-provincial move, the same Quebec regulations apply at both ends — no change in labour standards, insurance, or vehicle codes. The main challenge for Quebec City delivery is the Old City: narrow cobblestone streets, steep hills between Lower Town (Basse-Ville) and Upper Town (Haute-Ville), and limited truck access. We often use smaller shuttle vehicles for the final delivery leg in heritage neighbourhoods.

Tips for Moving Montreal to Quebec City
If moving to Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec), be aware that many streets like Rue Saint-Jean and Côte de la Fabrique are extremely narrow — a smaller truck may be needed for final delivery.
July 1st is Quebec's official moving day (la Fête du déménagement). Book at least 6–8 weeks ahead to secure your preferred date.
Autoroute 20 via Drummondville is usually slightly faster, but Autoroute 40 through Trois-Rivières offers more service stops if you need to meet the truck mid-route.
Quebec City is hillier than Montreal — Upper Town (Haute-Ville) addresses may require extra effort for heavy items. Let us know your exact address so we can plan accordingly.
Since this is an intra-Quebec move, your RAMQ health card, driver's licence, and Hydro-Québec service transfer seamlessly — just update your address online.
FAQ: Moving from Montreal to Quebec City
Large trucks have very limited access in Old Quebec due to narrow streets, low archways, and restricted zones. For addresses in the historic district, we use a smaller shuttle truck for the final delivery. We factor this into your quote so there are no surprises.
Both are suitable for large trucks. Autoroute 20 is slightly shorter and often faster. Autoroute 40 has more rest stops and is a better option when south-shore construction is heavy. Our team checks real-time conditions on moving day.
No. Since you're staying within Quebec, your RAMQ card, driver's licence, and other provincial documents remain valid. You just need to update your address with the SAAQ, Revenu Québec, and Hydro-Québec.
We can arrange a temporary parking permit through the City of Quebec for street-side unloading. For buildings on steep hills like Côte de la Montagne, we use equipment like stair climbers and furniture dollies designed for inclines.
At least 6 to 8 weeks in advance. July 1st is Quebec's traditional moving day, and demand on the Montreal–Quebec City corridor is extremely high. Early booking also helps secure a better rate.
