Long Distance Moving

Moving long distance already brings with it some anxiety and stress. Let our expertise and experience as Vancouver long distance mover help to make your long distance move less complicated and more enjoyable.

For long distance moving, Vancouver residents have learned they can depend on Burlyboyz Moving for a swift, professionally conducted move that is customized to meet their exact needs.

With Burlyboyz you will have an experienced, professional and fully trained staff of movers who understand what it takes to make a move efficient and as stress free as possible for you.


Before you start preparing for your house move, it’s important that you take the time to think about how exactly you are going to handle the house moving project. To make an informed decision, you’ll need to take a closer look at several key points, the major one being the DISTANCE between Point A (the current home you’re moving out of) and Point B (the destination home you’re about to move into soon).

Theoretically, when the move distance between the two homes is greater than 100 miles, then you’re facing a long distance move. Therefore, when moving 500 miles, 1,000 miles or 2,000 miles across the entire country, then the upcoming move becomes not only increasingly complicated and challenging, but also rather risky and dangerous for everyone involved.

Long distance moving falls well outside the comfort zone of Do-It-Yourself moves due to a couple of main reasons: expenses and risks.

  • Self-move expenses. The cost of renting a moving vehicle of the right size and purchasing the required insurance is the first step. Then add the cost of fuel, road tolls, parking fees, meals and lodgings along the trip as well. Factor in the cost of all the packing supplies and the price of renting or purchasing the necessary moving equipment (a moving dolly). Finally, set up a contingency fund because you never know what may happen on the road to your new home.
  • Risks and dangers. Driving a big rental moving truck across multiple state lines is a risky business, especially if you’ve never done it before. Each driven mile increases the risk of something bad happening on the road. Sustaining personal injuries or inflicting property damage are two other highly undesirable scenarios that will further complicate the risk assessment task when moving without using the services of a long distance mover.

When moving long distance across the country, the safest way to do it is to hire a long distance moving company that is:

  • legitimate (properly licensed by the Canada Department of Transportation);
  • reputable (high rankings and positive reviews left by customers who have used their services in the past);
  • trustworthy (membership in the Canadian Moving and Storage Association (CMSA)
  • experienced (years of professional experience in cross-country residential moving);
  • affordable (competitive moving company rates, including reasonable charges for additional moving services).
