Your Dedicated Partner for Long Distance Moves in Vancouver, BC
Finding the right long distance moving companies in Vancouver can feel overwhelming. If you are heading to the Interior, the North or the Island, you don’t need a generic cross-country mover. You need a BC specialist who drives the Coquihalla and works around BC Ferries schedules every week. Whether you’re moving a studio apartment or an entire corporate office, we get you there safely.
Unlike many long distance moving companies, President Movers provides direct service on a dedicated truck. We never combine your belongings with another customer’s load. The truck that loads your home in Vancouver is the same truck that unloads it at your new doorstep in Prince George, Nanaimo or Kamloops. No warehouse swaps, no delays and no lost items.
We Make Long Distance Simple:
- Every corner of BC: From Victoria and Tofino to Kelowna, Fort St. John and Prince Rupert.
- One truck, one crew: The same team packs, loads, drives and unloads.
- Flat-rate options: Transparent pricing based on distance and volume, confirmed in writing before moving day.
- Professional drivers: Experienced on BC’s mountain highways in every season.
Customized Long Distance Moving Services in Vancouver
We provide a comprehensive range of moving solutions tailored to your specific needs. We handle long distance moves of all sizes, from a single room to a large estate.
Long Distance Movers Fairview
Leaving a Fairview condo or townhouse for the Interior or the Island? We book the elevator and loading bay with your building, handle strata move-in rules at both ends and start early so your truck is on the highway before traffic builds.
Long Distance Residential Moving Vancouver
Moving your home out of Vancouver? Our long distance residential movers pack, load and deliver your belongings safely anywhere in BC, with one crew handling your move from start to finish.
Long Distance Senior Moving
Moving a parent or loved one out of Vancouver? Our long distance senior moving service handles everything with patience and care, from downsizing and packing to reassembling furniture in their new home so it feels familiar from day one.
Vancouver to Vancouver Island Movers
Moving your family to Victoria, Nanaimo or further up-Island? We carefully wrap your furniture, load it securely for the drive and the sailing, and set everything up in your new home. Ferry fares for the truck are included in your quote.
Long Distance Commercial Moving Vancouver
Expanding your business to a new city in BC? We understand that downtime is lost money. Our team runs efficient, reliable office moves, so desks, chairs and IT equipment arrive ready for business.
Vancouver to Nanaimo Moving
Moving from Vancouver to Nanaimo means a ferry crossing, and that changes how the whole day has to be scheduled. Our crews handle the full route, from the load in Vancouver through the sailing to the unload in Nanaimo, so you're booking one move instead of coordinating two.
Packing, Disassembly and Reassembly
We’re a full-service mover, so you choose how much help you need. We can pack your whole home or just the fragile items, take apart beds, tables and wardrobes, and put them back together at your new place.
Pianos, Hot Tubs and Gym Equipment
Heavy and awkward items travel long distance too. We move pianos, hot tubs, treadmills and other gym equipment with the right straps, dollies and crew size. Tell us about them during your walkthrough so we plan for them in your quote.
Storage Between Move Dates
If your closing dates don’t line up, we can hold your belongings in short- or long-term storage through our partner facility. We collect from storage and deliver when your new home is ready.

Long Distance Movers for Vancouver Island Moves
An Island move is two jobs in one: a highway move and a ferry crossing. We handle both, so you’re not juggling sailings, truck reservations and arrival times on your own.
- Ferry fares included: The cost of taking our truck on BC Ferries is built into your quote, with no surprise add-ons on moving day.
- Sailings planned for you: We pick the right terminal for your destination and build sailing waits into your schedule.
- Same truck across the water: Your belongings stay on one truck from Vancouver to your new door in Victoria, Nanaimo, the Comox Valley or Tofino.
- Building access at both ends: We book elevators and loading bays and follow strata bylaws in Vancouver and on the Island.

How Your Long Distance Move Works
- Video walkthrough: Show us your home on a quick video call. We see every room and every large item, with no in-person visit needed.
- Written quote: You get a clear, written estimate for your route, with ferry fares included for Island moves.
- Book your date: Most long distance moves can be booked 1–2 weeks ahead. Earlier is better for month-end and summer dates.
- Packing and prep: We pack, wrap and take apart furniture as needed, or skip the steps you’ve done yourself. See our packing services in Vancouver.
- Loading and the drive: Your belongings go on a dedicated truck and travel directly to your new home, with no stops at a warehouse.
- Delivery and setup: The same crew unloads, places furniture in the right rooms and reassembles it if you’ve asked us to.
What Affects the Cost of a Long Distance Move?
Every long distance move is priced on its own route and inventory, so the fastest way to a real number is a free video walkthrough. These are the things that shape your quote:
- Distance and route: Kilometres driven, mountain passes and any ferry crossings.
- How much you’re moving: The volume of your belongings decides the truck size and crew size.
- Building access: Stairs, elevators, long carries and parking at both ends.
- Packing and assembly: Full packing, fragile-only packing, or none at all.
- Specialty items: Pianos, hot tubs and gym equipment need extra crew and equipment.
- Storage: Whether your belongings need to wait at our partner facility before delivery.

Moving Long Distance in a BC Winter
BC’s winter tire and chain rules apply on mountain routes like the Coquihalla, Hwy 97 and the Sea-to-Sky from October 1 to April 30. A winter move takes more planning, and we do that planning for you.
- Road checks before we leave: We watch DriveBC for closures and conditions and adjust departure times when needed.
- Realistic schedules: We build extra time into winter routes, so a slow pass doesn’t turn into a missed delivery.
- Belongings kept dry: Furniture is blanket-wrapped and shrink-wrapped against snow, slush and rain at both ends.
