In Ottawa, "interprovincial" can mean two very different moves. It can mean crossing the river to Gatineau — a local move that happens to cross a border. Or it can mean a household relocation to another province entirely. Discount Moving & Storage handles both, and the planning differs in ways worth understanding before you book anyone.
What doesn't change across either version: flat written pricing for anything beyond local range, dedicated loads, and a signed inventory that travels with your household from door to door.
The Gatineau exception: a border crossing that's a local move
Gatineau is part of Ottawa's daily life — people live in Hull, Aylmer, or Gatineau proper and work in Ottawa, and moves across the river are local moves in every practical sense: priced like Ottawa moves, done in a day, bridges and all. Our Gatineau movers page covers the specifics, from bridge timing to the city's July 1 lease culture.
The only interprovincial wrinkle on a river crossing is paperwork-light: nothing about your household goods changes because the truck crossed a bridge. Taxes and quotes are handled exactly as quoted — in writing, before the move.
True interprovincial moves: Ontario, Quebec, and beyond
For longer provincial crossings — Montreal and elsewhere in Quebec, or out of Ontario to the Maritimes and beyond — the move becomes a true long-distance project: flat inventory pricing, confirmed delivery windows, and planning for weather and distance. Our busiest interprovincial corridor is Ottawa to Montreal; longer routes are quoted individually after a full walkthrough.
Two interprovincial details to plan around: delivery windows widen with distance (we confirm a realistic window in writing, not a fantasy date), and your essentials should travel with you — medications, documents, and first-night basics never ride the truck on a multi-day move. Our long-distance movers page lays out the full model.
