About Moving in Scarborough
FleetGo Moving Services moves Scarborough households, from apartment towers to family houses. Its Scarborough experience is five two-bedroom apartment moves and two three-bedroom house moves, and the page below explains how those two kinds of move are planned differently.
Scarborough is part of the City of Toronto, with established rental towers, newer condos around Scarborough Town Centre and streets of bungalows, backsplits and semis. FleetGo plans each move around the building rules or driveway access at both addresses and confirms the crew size, scope and price in a written quote.

Apartment Movers in Scarborough
Scarborough has many established rental towers as well as newer condos, and apartments are where FleetGo's Scarborough experience starts, with five two-bedroom apartment moves. In these buildings the rules decide when a crew can work. An older tower may have a single service elevator shared by everyone moving that month, so booked windows are short and month-end slots go first.
Ask your building management
- The move-in and move-out hours your building allows, and whether weekends are permitted
- Which elevator is the service elevator, and how long you can hold it
- Where the truck should stop: a loading dock, a lay-by or the front drive
- Any refundable deposit or paperwork the building asks movers for
Book the elevator for the same window at both addresses if you can, and send the details with your quote request. See condo and apartment moving.
House Movers in Scarborough
FleetGo's two Scarborough house moves were three-bedroom homes. Scarborough's housing ranges from 1950s and 1960s bungalows with basement rec rooms to backsplits, semis and newer two-storey houses, and each changes the carry: bungalows keep most furniture on one floor, while backsplits add short flights of stairs between levels.
Three movers are recommended for many three-bedroom houses. Clear the driveway the night before so the truck can back in, and tell FleetGo about basement furniture, pianos or other heavy items. See residential moving and furniture moving for disassembly and large items.
Parking the Moving Truck in Scarborough
Scarborough follows the City of Toronto's parking rules. Public roads have an unsigned maximum three-hour parking limit unless signs say otherwise, and the City's regulations allow moving vans to park on the street while actively loading or unloading, as long as posted signs and traffic rules are followed. Permit-parking streets may need a temporary permit, and the City's special parking consideration does not cover moving days. Read the City of Toronto parking regulations before your move.
FleetGo cannot guarantee street parking. Customers arrange parking and elevator bookings, and waiting time caused by access problems can be billable, so a driveway or the building's loading area is usually the safest plan.
What a Scarborough Move Costs
Rates are $125/hour for 2 movers, $169/hour for 3, $209/hour for 4 and $249/hour for 5, plus a $120 service fee, a three-hour labour minimum and HST. The two examples below match the kinds of Scarborough homes FleetGo has moved.
| Move | Planning time | Before HST |
|---|---|---|
| 2-bedroom apartment, 2 movers | typically 3–5 hours | $495–$7453–5 × $125 + $120 |
| 3-bedroom house, 3 movers | typically 5–8 hours | $965–$1,4725–8 × $169 + $120 |
A short elevator window or a long hallway can push an apartment move toward the top of its range. Labour starts at the recorded start time after the crew arrives at your pickup address and is billed in 30-minute steps after the minimum, and the final written quote controls. See moving prices and the terms.
Packing and Moves Beyond Scarborough
When the elevator window is short, having FleetGo pack beforehand means the crew spends the booked time moving rather than taping boxes. For moves out of the city, trips over 100 km are reviewed manually for a flat-rate quote. See packing services and long-distance moving.
