Moving between Montreal and New York City, NY is a major cross-border logistics challenge, not just a long drive. Between customs paperwork, a 595 km highway route, and the risks of trusting your belongings to an unfamiliar carrier, you need far more than a rental truck. You need a real long-distance moving company that has mastered the science of cross-border relocation.
Since 1960, the Olympique Moving & Storage name has stood for trust and precision. Known first for dominating moving in Montreal and the surrounding regions, we have expanded our air-ride suspension truck fleet and our experienced logistics team to serve families and businesses moving to and from New York City. Most of these moves are driven by finance, media, tech, and fashion careers, plus one of the largest Quebecois and Canadian expat communities in the US, and we turn what could be an exhausting cross-border ordeal into a move orchestrated to the last detail.
The Montreal to New York City, NY Route
The most direct route runs via I-87 South, a distance of approximately 595 kilometres (370 miles) and roughly 6 hours of driving. Most Montreal-based long-distance carriers, including Olympique, cross the border at the Lacolle, QC / Champlain, NY port of entry — the busiest commercial crossing on the Quebec-US border — before continuing toward New York City.
📊 Industry fact: Cross-border moves come with costs most households do not budget for — customs paperwork, temporary housing, vehicle shipping. Our financing plan exists specifically to stop those surprise costs from competing with your moving budget.
We are not just a truck for hire — we are cross-border relocation planners. Here is the range of services that makes us the top choice for the Montreal-New York City, NY corridor:
1. Long-Distance & Cross-Border Moving
A 6-hour, 595 km move needs military-grade logistics. Our long-distance moving crews run dedicated, sealed trucks — your belongings never share space with another client’s shipment — with a guaranteed delivery window.
2. Residential Moving (Full Homes & Condos)
Relocating an entire household takes precision. Whether you need residential moving in Montreal before the 595 km trip, or full-service unpacking on arrival, we protect your floors, railings, and door frames before the first box moves.
3. Commercial & Office Relocation
A day of downtime means real revenue lost. Our commercial moving Montreal service works around your schedule, including nights and weekends, for server transfers and full office relocations.
4. Professional Packing & Heated Storage
Fragile items — artwork, mirrors, electronics, and pianos — are wrapped and, when needed, built into custom wooden crates. If your dates do not line up, our secure residential storage and commercial storage facilities in Montreal keep your belongings safe between pack-out and final delivery. Free wardrobe boxes and packing supplies are included.

Frequently Asked Questions: Montreal to New York City, NY
1. How much does a move from Montreal to New York City cost?
Long-distance moving costs depend on the volume of belongings, the 595 km distance, packing needs, and timing. Olympique provides a firm, all-inclusive written quote after a virtual or in-home survey, so you know the total cost before moving day — and you can spread that cost over four payments with our financing plan.
2. How long does the move from Montreal to New York City take?
The drive itself is roughly 6 hours via I-87 South, but a full-service move includes packing, loading, border clearance, and unloading, so most Montreal-New York City moves are scheduled as a 2 to 5 day door-to-door window depending on shipment size and your preferred delivery date.
3. What documents do I need to cross the border?
You will need a detailed household goods inventory, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Form 3299 for duty-free entry of personal effects, and proof of your U.S. immigration or residency status. Olympique prepares this paperwork with you well before moving day.
4. Can you store my belongings if my dates do not line up?
Yes. Olympique operates monitored storage facilities in Montreal, so if your departure or arrival date shifts, your shipment can wait safely in storage rather than forcing a rushed move.
5. Do you move pianos, artwork, and other fragile or high-value items?
Yes. Pianos, artwork, mirrors, and other fragile or high-value pieces are wrapped and, when needed, built into custom wooden crates before loading, and are inventoried separately so their condition is documented before and after the 6-hour trip.
6. Do you offer financing for a Montreal to New York City move?
Yes. Olympique’s move-now-pay-later plan lets you split your firm, all-inclusive quote into four installments with no credit check and no interest, so a cross-border move does not have to compete with closing costs or a security deposit.
7. How do I book a move between Montreal and New York City?
Request a free quote online or by phone. Olympique will confirm your inventory, provide a firm all-inclusive price, and lock in your moving date with the option to pay in four installments.
