Why Montreal Students Choose Crown Movers
Montreal is a real student city. Between Concordia downtown, McGill in the “student ghetto”, UdeM and Poly in Côte-des-Neiges, UQAM near Berri and Dawson and Vanier on the orange line, there are thousands of student moving every year. We handle all thins moving Montreal
We have helped students move:
- From dorms in the McGill ghetto to shared apartments in Plateau and Mile End
- From Concordia residences downtown to NDG and Saint-Laurent
- From UQAM area studios to Rosemont and Hochelaga
- Between Laval, South Shore and the island when internships or co-ops change
Every time, the goal is the same:
a safe, efficient student move that does not destroy your budget.
Our crews are trained to move quickly without rushing your stuff, and to be respectful with neighbors and building rules. No loud music in the truck, no slamming doors, no dragging furniture on the floors. Just professional student movers who know how to keep things calm on a big day.
Simple Student Moving Service with No Minimum Hours
Most moving companies will hit you with a 3 or 4 hour minimum, even if you only need a quick student move of a few pieces of furniture and some boxes. For students in small apartments, that often means paying for time you do not really use.
With Crown Movers:
- No student minimums – you only pay for the real hours on site
- 15% OFF on the hourly rate when you book as a student
- Same professional moving service as our regular clients, just priced for student life
This makes a big difference for:
- 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 style apartments
- Dorm-to-apartment moves
- Small partial moves when you only have a bed, a desk, a shelf and a few boxes
You get real moving services with real movers, without feeling like you overpaid for a tiny student moving job.
How Our Student Discount Works
We keep it straightforward:
- Show proof that you are a student
Student card from Concordia, McGill, UdeM, UQAM, Poly, HEC, Dawson, Vanier or any other college or university. Photo is fine.
- We apply 15% OFF the hourly rate
The discount applies to the labor rate for your student moving service, not just some small part of the invoice.
- No minimum hours for student moves
If your move takes 1 hour and 45 minutes, you pay for that time, not for a block you did not use.
- Assembly and disassembly included
Simple bed frames, desks and basic furniture are included in the rate. No extra add-on fee just to take apart your bed.
This is designed so a cheap student move does not mean low quality, it just means fair pricing that respects your reality.

How to Keep Your Student Move as Cheap as Possible
We are a moving company that wants to keep your costs down. Here are simple steps that can cut your student moving bill:
- Pack as much as you can yourself
Use solid boxes, bags for clothes and label everything by room. Fast packing means fast moving.
- Be ready when the movers arrive
If everything is boxed and small items are not scattered, the crew spends less time organizing and more time moving.
- Reserve the elevator if you can
In many Montreal buildings, this is the difference between a 2 hour move and a 4 hour move.
- Declutter before the move
Give away or recycle what you do not need. Less stuff means less carrying, less time and lower moving services cost.
- Coordinate with roommates
If two students in the same building are moving the same week, sometimes we can optimize routes and make the student moving price even better.
Follow these tips, plus the 15% student discount and no minimum hours, and you keep your student move under control.
When a Student Moving Company Is Better Than Renting a Truck
Some students think it is always cheaper to rent a truck. Sometimes it is, but not always. With Crown Movers you get:
- A trained team that knows how to move furniture without damage
- Insurance and protection for your belongings
- Proper dollies, floor runners and tools
- A plan that respects your lease rules and your time
For many students in Montreal, once you add truck rental, gas, mileage, equipment, pizza for friends and possible damage to stairs or walls, a short student moving service with real movers is often the smarter option.
