Victoria to Nanaimo Movers
One crew, one truck, door to door between Greater Victoria and Nanaimo, in either direction.
Moving Up-Island, Done Right
Victoria to Nanaimo is about 110 km up the Trans-Canada Highway and over the Malahat, roughly one and a half to two hours on the road depending on traffic. No ferry is needed, so the same Cougur crew loads your home in the morning and delivers it in Nanaimo.
We move people in both directions: Victoria to Nanaimo, Nanaimo to Victoria, and everywhere in between, including Mill Bay, Duncan, Chemainus, and Ladysmith.
Victoria to Nanaimo Moving Tips
We watch the Malahat
Collisions and winter weather can close the Malahat. We check DriveBC before we roll and plan around closures, including the Brentwood Bay to Mill Bay ferry if needed.
Often a one-day move
Many apartment and smaller home moves between Victoria and Nanaimo can be completed in a single day. Larger homes may need more time, and we’ll plan the schedule with you.
Line up both ends
Book elevators and confirm key pickup times at both addresses. Two hours of highway between them means timing matters.
Pack an essentials box
Keep medications, chargers, documents, and a change of clothes with you in the car, not on the truck.
Clear custom estimate
Up-Island moves are quoted individually, with travel time and any fuel charge spelled out before you book.
One crew the whole way
Your belongings stay with one background-checked crew from pickup to drop-off, backed by $2 million commercial general liability insurance.
