Move

The whole experience was excellent. The movers - Junior, Nelson and Tyler - took great care to ensure nothing was damaged. They were kind and courteous. Amanda was excellent from a customer service perspective. We hope we don't move for a while, but we will use them again when we do!

Moving & Packing Services

This was the first time that I needed to hire a moving company, and I could not be happier with my choice to use Rent-A-Son. From my first contact, I was immediately impressed how they were one of the only company's who actually came out to my house to give a quote. Rob did a thorough walk through and pointed out everything we would require/need to know for moving day. In fact, we were so impressed that we decided to go with their packing services as well, which is a huge stress saver. The day before the move, Julian and his team showed up at the scheduled time and were extremely careful and packed all of our items for safe transport, and took more precautions than we would have even thought to take. I especially liked how it was Julian and his team that came the next day again to complete the move as they were already familiar with all of our items. The move went through very smoothly and I was again very impressed with Rob and how he handled some additional inquiries I had after the move was completed. If you are looking for a moving company look no further than Rent-A-Son, you won't be disappointed.

These guys were amazing. The movers themselves were pleasant and friendly throughout the whole day. And our moving coordinator was always available to answer our questions pre-move. I would definitely hire this company again.

Home relocation

Great move by Junior and his team! Very efficient, professional approach. The entire Team worked very well together, not even a single scratch on the wall in both houses. Highly recommended!

Moving Services

I am a repeat customer and have always been happy with the services provided. Most recently I had a move from Toronto to Ajax with a stop over for a pick up at a storage locker. While being very efficient the movers still took the time to load the truck well to ensure that there was space for all of the items at both pick up locations.
From the beginning to end the service was great. Our co-ordinator was effective at understanding our needs and the movers were very efficient and paid careful attention to detail to ensure that the items and properties were not damaged.
Would highly recommend!

Jason and Matt were a great team. In the midst of a big family upheaval - moving house - they brought good cheer and an invigorating work ethic into our home. They have a very happy customer and their hard work is much appreciated.

Friendly, careful service!

I had the contents of a one-bedroom apartment to move from Ottawa to Toronto. The movers from Rent-a-Son were so efficient and friendly. On the day of the "pack up," they finished a full hour earlier than expected; on the day of delivery, they were able to arrive at my new condo building ahead of schedule and actually finished unpacking before they were meant to arrive in the first place! They were very careful with all of my items and made it clear that they really cared about doing a good job.

Everyone that I dealt with at Rent-a-Son provided very professional and friendly service. I was incredibly impressed by this company and will definitely come back to them the next time I have to move.

Highly recommended!
