We are an official online platform representing three BAR-accredited, FIDI-certified Quebec City International Moving Companies (AGM Group). We match you with the right partner mover based on your Quebec City to UK or UK to Quebec City route, timeline, and language needs. Your matched Quebec City International Mover handles everything: physical survey (in French or English), professional Quebec City movers and packers with heritage home expertise, transport to Montreal port via Autoroute 40, shipping logistics, bilingual customs documentation support, and final delivery.
Quebec City International Movers face unique requirements that generic Canadian movers cannot handle: Quebec's distinct civil law system, French-language documentation requirements, heritage property regulations in Old Quebec (UNESCO World Heritage site), and extreme winter conditions. Our partners provide FULL BILINGUAL SERVICE (French/English) at no extra charge – essential for Quebec City residents comfortable primarily in French.
Bilingual necessity: Quebec requires French-language documentation for many moving permits, especially in heritage zones. UK customs accepts French documentation but bilingual movers prevent translation errors and delays. All our Quebec City International Moving Companies provide documentation in both languages.
Strategic location advantage: Quebec City sits just 250km from Montreal port via Autoroute 40 – the shortest overland transport of any major Canadian city outside Montreal itself. This saves 1-2 days and £150-£300 vs Toronto moves.
Heritage home challenges: Old Quebec features narrow cobblestone streets (some under 3m wide), steep inclines (Breakneck Steps), and 17th-19th century architecture. Standard moving trucks cannot access many properties – requiring manual carrying teams and specialised compact equipment.
Winter reality: Quebec City experiences extreme cold (-30°C), heavy snowfall, and St. Lawrence River ice affecting port operations December-March. Professional movers use heated storage, winter-grade materials, and ice road expertise.
1-2 days (bilingual coordination)
Professional Quebec City International Movers arrive at your Quebec City home (Vieux-Québec heritage property, Montcalm character home, Saint-Roch apartment, or surrounding area). Bilingual crews communicate in your preferred language. For Old Quebec: manual carrying teams for narrow streets, heritage property protocols, coordination with Ville de Québec for street access.

Quebec City offers unique advantages for international removals:
This makes Quebec City International Removals the smart choice for Quebec residents seeking professional, culturally-sensitive moving services.
Quebec City International Removals cost 8-12% less than equivalent Toronto moves due to the shorter 250km transport to Montreal port. Your price depends on volume in cubic metres (m³). A standard 20ft container holds 30-35m³, suitable for a typical 3-bedroom Quebec City home.
1-bedroom apartment (14-20m³)
Typical Quebec City apartment in Saint-Roch, Saint-Jean-Baptiste, or Montcalm. Part load (shared container) recommended for Quebec City International Removals.
Timeline: 5-6 weeks (consolidation adds time)
Quebec City advantage: Part load from Quebec City saves 30-45% versus dedicated container. Shorter transport distance saves £150-£300 vs Toronto. Bilingual service included at no extra charge.
3-bedroom house (30-35m³)
Typical Quebec City house in Montcalm, Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Charlesbourg, or Beauport communities.
Timeline: 4-5 weeks with dedicated container
Quebec City house consideration: Many Quebec City homes feature heritage architecture (especially Vieux-Québec, Montcalm), steep staircases, and compact layouts. Include all spaces when estimating volume. Québécois artwork and French-language book collections common – require specialised packing.
Don't forget these common Quebec City items:
Underestimating volume causes Quebec City International Removals re-quotes. A professional video survey via Zoom or WhatsApp gives accurate estimates in your preferred language. Most Quebec City International Moving Companies offer this FREE service with bilingual assessment included.

Quebec City's Vieux-Québec (Old Quebec) is a UNESCO World Heritage site with unique moving challenges that generic movers cannot handle. Narrow cobblestone streets (some under 3 metres wide), steep inclines like the famous Breakneck Steps (L'Escalier Casse-Cou), 17th-19th century architecture with delicate features, and strict municipal regulations require specialised expertise that only experienced Quebec City International Moving Companies possess.
Narrow street access: Rue du Petit-Champlain (North America's oldest commercial street) is under 3m wide in sections – standard moving trucks cannot enter. Requires manual carrying teams, specialised compact equipment, and coordination with Ville de Québec for temporary street closures.
Steep incline challenges: Breakneck Steps connect Upper and Lower Town with 59% grade incline. Moving heavy furniture requires specialised rigging equipment, safety protocols, and experienced crews trained in steep terrain logistics.
Heritage property protocols: Many Old Quebec homes have protected status requiring special handling for original woodwork, stained glass windows, stone fireplaces, and historic features. Standard moving techniques can cause irreversible damage.
Municipal permit requirements: Ville de Québec requires advance permits for street access, temporary closures, and equipment placement in heritage zones. Bilingual movers navigate French-language permit applications efficiently.
Specialised compact equipment that fits narrow streets. Manual carrying teams for inaccessible areas. Coordination with Ville de Québec for temporary street closures and parking permissions. Bilingual permit application handling in French. Experience with Rue du Petit-Champlain, Rue Saint-Jean, and other constrained corridors.
Specialised rigging equipment for Breakneck Steps and other steep inclines. Safety protocols for crew and property protection. Experienced teams trained in steep terrain moving techniques. Alternative routing planning when inclines are unsafe due to weather conditions. Insurance coverage specific to heritage property moving risks.
Gentle techniques for original woodwork, stained glass, stone features. Documentation of pre-existing conditions for insurance purposes. Coordination with heritage conservation officers when required. Understanding of Quebec's Cultural Property Act requirements. Respect for historical significance while ensuring efficient moving process.
Moving from Old Quebec requires planning and expertise that generic Canadian movers simply don't possess:
Our Quebec City International Moving Companies have moved hundreds of homes in Old Quebec successfully. We don't hide these challenges – we solve them with specialised expertise that makes your heritage home move seamless and stress-free.
Quebec City experiences some of Canada's most extreme winter conditions: temperatures regularly drop to -30°C, heavy snowfall accumulates on narrow streets, and the St. Lawrence River freezes affecting port operations December through March. Our Quebec City International Moving Companies specialise in winter relocations with heated storage facilities, winter-grade packing materials, and ice road driving expertise that generic movers lack.
Extreme cold impacts: -30°C temperatures cause materials to become brittle (wood cracks, plastic shatters), vehicle fluids freeze, and standard packing materials fail. Professional movers use winter-grade materials specifically designed for extreme cold.
Snow and ice logistics: Narrow streets in Old Quebec become treacherous when snow-covered. Cobblestone streets (Rue du Petit-Champlain) become dangerously slippery. Professional movers use ice cleats, salt deployment, and specialised equipment for safe operations.
Port operation disruptions: St. Lawrence River ice can delay Montreal port operations December-March. Professional movers monitor ice conditions and adjust scheduling accordingly, building 3-5 day buffers into winter move plans.
Heated storage necessity: Items acclimatised to Quebec's extreme cold require gradual temperature transition before ocean shipping. Heated storage facilities prevent condensation damage during climate transition.
Optimal moving seasons: April-June (after snow melt, before summer humidity) and September-November (after summer heat, before deep winter) offer most reliable conditions and competitive pricing.
If moving November-March:
Cost consideration: Winter moves typically cost 10-15% more than shoulder season moves due to specialised equipment, heated storage, and additional labour requirements. This premium ensures your belongings are protected from extreme cold damage.
Bilingual weather alerts: Our Quebec City International Movers provide weather updates in your preferred language throughout your move, with proactive rescheduling if conditions become unsafe.
