Town to Town move

My wife and I just moved from Ajax Ont. to Renfrew Ont. and we chose Rent-a-Son for the move. First, we met our move coordinator Amanda Strathdee when she came to our apartment to provide an estimate for the move. She is a very pleasant and friendly young lady and it was a pleasure meeting her. On moving day three movers, Mark, Jamie and Perseus showed up and started boxing and loading the truck right away. All three guys were polite, good natured and acted very professionally as they performed their tasks. After a 4-1/2 hour drive from Ajax to Renfrew the guys unloaded our possessions quickly and smoothly with no issues. We are quite pleased with the service that was provided by Amanda, Mark, Jamie and Perseus and would definitely hire Rent-a-Son for any future moves!

Internal Move - 2nd Time Hired

I have used Rent a Son for my previous move and I contacted them recently to do an internal move (move heavy furniture around the house). The two gentlemen that came were very attentive and did everything I asked. They were extremely careful with my furniture, taking care not to scratch it or mark up my house/walls! They moved very heavy furniture and took care to wrap it up! I was extremely happy with their services and will hire Rent A Son again in the future without hesitation.

Furniture move from Toronto to Kitchener.

Amanda coordinated the move and, on short notice over a weekend, was able to adjust for changes I requested. GREAT customer support
2 Gentlemen arrived at the time requested to initiate the move. They were friendly and efficient. Several pieces were antiques and the movers were very careful to pay special attention with them. Pickup and drop off was very smooth!! I am totally satisfied with the service!!!

Movers

Rent a Son was by far, the best movers we've ever had! We needed 2 trucks and had 7 "sons". They were all prompt, efficient, professional and friendly throughout the entire move! It was a very stressful move for us and we weren't fully packed when they arrived as we ran out of floor space...they just got stuff out of the way asap! They lessened the stress and everything got done within the original estimated time frame which was quite impressive! Would definitely recommend them!

Apartment Move

We recently moved apartments rather last minute. We initially tried moving ourselves and when that didn't work out we decided to try to hire movers for the next day. Rent-a-son had excellent reviews and availability for the next day so we decided to go with them. We dealt with Christian and Erika through the booking process. It was very straightforward and did not require an on-site visit. The day of our move Junior and Chris showed up on-time (a few minutes early actually) and got to work right away. They were extremely fast and efficient. These guys never seemed to break a sweat or get tired. They moved all of our stuff quickly, but we're careful to wrap all of our furniture in pads and took care not to damage anything on their way out or in. The whole job from start to finish was 3 hours for our one bedroom apartment (there is a four hour minimum charge). We were really impressed and have already decided we will not be moving ourselves ever again. Hire Rent-a-son and save yourself a headache.
