The Right Moving Service for Your Calgary Home
Ecoway Movers offers a complete suite of residential and commercial moving services tailored to Calgary's diverse housing. With over 35% of all dwellings in the city being multi-family units (City of Calgary, 2023), we provide specialized expertise for every type of relocation, from a downtown apartment to a sprawling suburban home.
Transparent Pricing for Your Calgary Move: No Surprises, Just Savings
Ecoway Movers provides clear and transparent pricing to eliminate the budget uncertainty common in the moving industry. We address the fear of hidden fees head-on by providing detailed quotes that explain all potential costs, such as our flat-rate fuel surcharge for moves to surrounding communities like Cochrane or Airdrie, ensuring you know the full price upfront.
We believe an affordable move starts with honest pricing. Below is a sample of our hourly rates to help you budget. For a precise, guaranteed quote tailored to your specific needs, please use our detailed online form or speak with one of our moving coordinators.
Pro Tip for Saving Money: The end-of-month rush in Calgary's rental market often leads to peak demand and higher rates. Booking your move mid-month or on a weekday can often result in significant savings and greater availability.

Your Calgary Move, Fully Protected: Our Licensing & Insurance Guarantee
Ecoway Movers operates with full licensing and a multi-layered insurance plan to provide complete protection for every client. We address the serious risks posed by illegitimate cash-only movers, a rising concern noted by Service Alberta, by providing transparent, verifiable credentials that guarantee your move is secure and legally compliant from start to finish.
What 'Fully Insured' Really Means for Your Belongings
Our standard service includes Cargo Insurance, which protects your items while they are in our truck. This is crucial for transit on busy Calgary routes like Deerfoot Trail. Unlike basic coverage, our policy is comprehensive, ensuring your valuables are protected against unforeseen events during transportation.
How We Protect Your Property: Beyond Cargo Insurance
A major concern for condo owners is damage to common property. Our General Liability Insurance specifically covers accidental damage to buildings, such as scratches in an elevator or scuffs in a hallway. This protects you from receiving a large repair bill from your condo board, a risk you take with uninsured movers.
WCB Coverage: Protecting You from Liability
Every legitimate mover in Alberta must have active Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) coverage. This protects you from personal liability if a mover is injured on your property. We encourage all clients to verify our status—and that of any other mover—using the WCB Alberta 'Clearance Letter Search' tool. It's the single most important step in hiring a legitimate company.
How We Compare: The Smart Choice for Calgary Movers
Ecoway Movers distinguishes itself by providing a level of professionalism, security, and transparency that unregulated movers cannot match. Recent consumer complaints filed with Service Alberta highlight the dangers of hiring cash-only operators from platforms like Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace, reinforcing the value of our guaranteed, professional service for your Calgary relocation.

Navigating Calgary's Unique Moving Challenges
Ecoway Movers specializes in overcoming the specific logistical challenges of moving in Calgary. From securing the correct parking permits in expanding Residential Parking Zones (RPZs) to planning routes during major events like the Stampede, our deep local expertise ensures your move proceeds smoothly, regardless of the complexities involved.
Parking & Access in Downtown and the Beltline
Moving in Calgary's densest neighbourhoods requires careful planning. We handle the entire process of securing a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit (TOPP) from the Calgary Parking Authority, which is required in areas like the Beltline and Kensington. This prevents fines and ensures our truck has legal, convenient access to your building, removing a major headache for you.
Our All-Weather Moving Promise: From Chinooks to Snow Squalls
A sudden Calgary snowstorm or a -30°C day won't derail your move. Our crews are equipped with an all-weather protocol, including specialized equipment for icy conditions and protective floor runners to keep slush and salt out of your home. We maintain clear communication and have contingency plans if extreme weather warnings necessitate a reschedule for safety.
Expertise in New Suburban Communities
Calgary's new communities like Legacy and Rangeview often present unique challenges with ongoing construction and unpaved lanes. Our team is experienced in coordinating with developers and navigating these areas to ensure safe and efficient access for our moving trucks, preventing delays.
What's Included in Your Affordable Calgary Move?
Ecoway Movers guarantees that every move includes a full suite of professional-grade equipment and services at no extra charge. We believe in transparency, which means our hourly rate covers all the essentials needed to protect your belongings and property, preventing the surprise fees for basic supplies that some companies charge on moving day.

Our Stress-Free Calgary Moving Process
Ecoway Movers provides a streamlined process designed for a seamless and stress-free moving experience. Central to our process is the Bill of Lading, a legal contract required under Alberta law that outlines all terms, costs, and inventory. This document provides you with full transparency and legal protection, a critical step that illegitimate movers skip.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Calgary
Ecoway Movers has compiled answers to the most common questions about hiring affordable, licensed, and insured movers in Calgary. We believe an informed customer is a confident customer. Find the clear, direct answers you need to plan your relocation with peace of mind.
How much does it cost to hire movers in Calgary?
Ecoway Movers offers competitive hourly rates that vary based on crew size, the date of your move, and the specific services required. While average costs can fluctuate, we provide a detailed, transparent quote with no hidden fees. Booking mid-month can often lead to savings due to lower demand compared to the end-of-month rush common in Calgary's rental market.
Are your movers licensed and insured?
Yes, Ecoway Movers is a fully licensed and insured moving company operating in Calgary. We carry comprehensive General Liability and Cargo insurance to protect your belongings and property, and maintain mandatory WCB coverage for our crews. We provide proof of our credentials upon request, giving you verifiable peace of mind for your move.
Do you offer packing services?
Absolutely. Ecoway Movers offers comprehensive packing and unpacking services to save you time and stress. Our professional packers use high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure all your items, from fragile glassware to bulky electronics, are safe and secure for transit. We can customize our packing services to fit your exact needs and budget.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ecoway Movers recommends booking your Calgary move 4-6 weeks in advance, especially during the peak season from May to September. This provides the best chance of securing your preferred date. However, we understand that's not always possible and will always do our best to accommodate last-minute moves based on our availability.
How do I know if a moving company in Calgary is legitimate?
Ecoway Movers recommends a simple legitimacy checklist. Ask for their provincial registration, proof of Cargo and Liability insurance, and a WCB clearance letter, which you can verify online. A legitimate company will always use a legal Bill of Lading, as required by Alberta law, and have a strong online presence with verifiable reviews.
Do I need to get a parking permit for the moving truck in downtown Calgary?
Yes, for many downtown and inner-city areas like the Beltline or Kensington, a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit (TOPP) is required. Ecoway Movers handles the entire permit application process with the Calgary Parking Authority on your behalf. This is a key part of our service that prevents potential fines and ensures a reserved, legal spot for our truck.
What happens if a mover damages my condo's elevator or hallway?
This is a critical reason to hire an insured mover like Ecoway Movers. Our comprehensive General Liability insurance is specifically designed to cover damage to building common property. If an accident occurs and you receive a bill from your condo board, our insurance handles the claim. With an uninsured mover, you would be personally liable for those costs.
Are there extra fees for moving to suburbs like Airdrie or Okotoks?
Ecoway Movers believes in full transparency. For moves outside of Calgary city limits to surrounding areas like Airdrie, Cochrane, or Okotoks, we apply a clear, flat-rate fuel and travel surcharge. This amount is explicitly detailed in your quote, so there are no surprises on moving day. It covers the additional time and fuel required for our crew and truck.
Do you have to tip movers in Calgary?
While tipping is not required, it is a common way to show appreciation for a job well done. If you feel the Ecoway Movers crew was professional, efficient, and careful, a tip is always gratefully received. The amount is at your discretion, but a common range is $5-$10 per mover per hour, or a flat amount per mover.
