Small Moves Vancouver — No Job Too Small
Not every move requires a full-size truck and a big crew. If you are relocating a studio apartment, moving a few boxes and a bed to a new place, or just need help with a partial load, Simple Moves offers affordable small moving services across Greater Vancouver. We treat every move with the same professionalism, whether it is a single carload or an entire household.
What Counts as a Small Move?
A small move generally involves less than a full household of belongings. You might be moving out of a furnished room and only have personal items. Maybe you are a student relocating between semesters, or you are splitting up a shared living arrangement and taking just your portion. Common small move scenarios include:
- Studio and bachelor suite moves — minimal furniture, a few boxes
- Single-room moves — bedroom set plus personal belongings
- Student moves — dorm rooms, shared housing, small apartments
- Partial household moves — taking select items to a new location
- Donation and delivery runs — dropping off furniture at shelters or family
- Storage unit moves — loading or unloading a small storage locker
Many large moving companies have high minimum charges that make small moves expensive. At Simple Moves, our rates start at $45 per mover per hour with a vehicle fee of $20 to $40. A typical small move in Vancouver with two movers takes 1.5 to 3 hours, making it a cost-effective option compared to renting a truck and doing it yourself.
Why Hire Movers for a Small Move?
Even a small move can be physically demanding and time-consuming when you do it alone. Carrying a mattress down three flights of stairs, fitting a sofa through a narrow doorway, or loading awkward items into a vehicle takes effort and risks injury. Our movers bring the right equipment — dollies, furniture pads, straps, and a properly sized vehicle — so your belongings are protected and you avoid the hassle.
We also save you the cost and inconvenience of renting a truck or van. When you factor in rental fees, fuel, insurance, and your own time, hiring professional movers for a small job often costs about the same while being far less stressful.
