Small move. Full-size truck.
Studios, a few large items, marketplace pickups, storage runs, student moves and senior downsizing across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke and the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge (KWC) region — on a full-size moving truck, not a cargo van. $120–$150 per hour, 2-hour minimum, one billable travel hour. Insured. Since 2017.
What is a small move — and why send a full-size truck?
A small move is a short, light move — a studio, a handful of large items, a marketplace pickup, a storage run — handled with the convenience of a small job and the capacity of a full-size moving truck. Movers4You Inc runs small moves across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke and the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge (KWC) region for $120–$150 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum and one billable travel hour. Every move is insured, the rate is confirmed in writing before crew dispatch, and Movers4You has been operating since 2017 — backed by 407+ verified Google reviews.
The vehicle is the part most people don’t think about until it matters. Booking a small move usually means booking a small vehicle — and a small vehicle is what turns a two-hour job into a return trip. Movers4You sends a full-size moving truck to a small move, which gives your inventory a better chance of going in one trip.
What a Movers4You small move includes
- A full-size moving truck — the same truck class used on full household moves, dispatched to your small job.
- Hourly pricing, in writing — $120–$150 per hour with a 2-hour minimum and one billable travel hour, confirmed before the crew is dispatched.
- Trained in-house crew — the person who quotes the move knows who’s on the truck.
- Blankets, straps and dollies — furniture wrapped and secured for transport, not just stacked.
- Insured — Movers4You is insured, and that doesn’t change with the size of the move.
- Loading and unloading — carried in, placed where you want it, not left at the door.
Pricing you can check before you book
Small moves are billed hourly at $120–$150 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum and one billable travel hour. The rate that applies to your move is set out in writing before the crew is dispatched, so the price quoted is the price paid. Use the form to your right to start a quote, or call 1-800-697-8471 between 8 AM and 8 PM, 7 days a week.
About “one trip”
Movers4You does not guarantee a single trip. What a full-size truck does is give your move a better chance of fitting in one trip than a smaller vehicle would. Whether it actually does depends on your inventory, the access at both ends, the weight of the load, and truck availability on your date. Send an inventory list and Movers4You will tell you what to expect before you book.

A cargo van and a full-size truck are not the same job
Small moves are often booked onto whatever small vehicle is free. Movers4You books them onto a full-size moving truck — the same truck class that runs household moves.
Built for parcels and single pieces
Lower roof, shorter deck, lighter payload. Fine for a couch or a few boxes.
- Tall items often have to lie flat, which eats floor space
- A mattress plus a dresser plus boxes can fill it
- Leftovers mean a second trip — or a second booking
Built for whole rooms at once
Considerably more deck length, height and payload than a cargo van — so a studio’s worth of furniture and boxes has somewhere to go.
- Tall furniture can usually stand upright and stay padded
- Furniture, mattress and boxes load together, not in shifts
- A better chance of one trip — not a guarantee
Bars illustrate relative capacity between vehicle classes, not measured volumes. Whether your move fits in one trip depends on your inventory, access at both ends, weight, and truck availability on your date — Movers4You does not guarantee a single trip.
Six moves that fit this service
Studios & bachelor units
A studio, a bachelor suite, or one room out of a shared house — furniture, mattress and boxes loaded in one go.
A few large items
A sofa and a bed, a dining set, a bedroom’s worth of furniture — wrapped, secured and carried, not just dropped at the door.
Marketplace pickups
You bought it online and it’s across town. A crew and a truck collect it and bring it into the room you want it in.
Storage runs
Into a unit, out of a unit, or between two of them — with the capacity to clear it in as few passes as the inventory allows.
Student moves
Term-change moves in and out of residences and rentals, sized and priced for what a student actually owns.
Seniors downsizing
A move into a smaller suite, at a pace that suits. For a full downsizing programme with an in-home consult, see Senior Moving.
Is your move a small move?
Three questions, one indication. This is a guide to help you pick the right service — it is not a quote, not a measurement, and not a commitment on either side.
Please answer all three questions first.
However this comes out, nothing here is binding on you or on Movers4You. A real answer comes from an inventory list and a written quote — $120–$150 per hour, 2-hour minimum, one billable travel hour, confirmed before the crew is dispatched.

Small move FAQs
Quick answers to the questions Movers4You hears most before a small GTA or KWC move. Don’t see yours? Call 1-800-697-8471.
How much does a small move cost with Movers4You?
$120–$150 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum and one billable travel hour. The rate that applies to your move is confirmed in writing before the crew is dispatched, so the price quoted is the price paid.
What is the minimum charge for a small move?
There is a 2-hour minimum, plus one billable travel hour. That structure is the same whether you’re moving a studio or a few large items, and it’s stated in writing on your quote before the crew is dispatched.
Does Movers4You send a cargo van for a small move?
No — Movers4You runs small moves on a full-size moving truck. A full-size truck carries considerably more than a cargo van, which gives your move a better chance of fitting in one trip. That still depends on your inventory, access at both ends, weight, and truck availability on your date.
Will my small move fit in one trip?
Movers4You can’t guarantee a one-trip move. A full-size moving truck provides a better chance of fitting the inventory in one trip than a smaller vehicle, but the outcome depends on the inventory, access at both ends, the weight of the load, and truck availability. Send an inventory list and Movers4You will tell you what to expect before you book.
What counts as a small move?
A studio or bachelor apartment, a room in a shared house, a few large items, a marketplace pickup, a storage run, a student move, or a senior downsizing into a smaller suite. If you’re moving one heavy or specialty item on its own — a piano, a safe, or gym equipment — that’s handled as a single-item move instead.
Is a small move insured?
Yes — Movers4You is insured, and that doesn’t change with the size of the move.
Does Movers4You do small moves for students and seniors?
Yes — term-change student moves and senior downsizing runs are both common small moves. Movers4You covers Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke and the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge (KWC) region, has been operating since 2017, and holds 407+ verified Google reviews.
