Moving

These guys were fantastic from booking the reservation to the move itself. I had two movers (Julian and Vance). They were professional and extremely helpful. They made the move as easy as possible and were very accommodating. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a hassle free move.

awesome experience

Rent-a-son did an amazing job in helping me move. From the administration to the movers themselves they were professional, kind and ensured my things were taken care of. The online forms were easy to fill-out and the people were always there to answer any question I had. The movers worked diligently to ensure all my things were taken care of. The whole experiance reduced the amount of stress I have felt previously with moving. I would definitly ​call Rent-a-son the next time I move.

FANTASTIC Condo Move

We used Rent-A-Son a few days ago to move from a rental apartment to our new condo. From start to finish it was a superb experience. The movers arrived 10 minutes early (very punctual) and called to advise they were just getting the truck setup out front and ready to go. Every item was carefully packed and stacked in the truck. Each mover was friendly, courteous and very professional. They had no issues moving even the heaviest of items and were careful not to damage the elevators in either building. They lay down protective mats in the hallways and over the new flooring in the condo. The property manager in the new condo even commented on this; advising in the past 3 years they were the most careful movers she had seen. They were extremely respectful of the communal spaces and cleaning up as they went. Everything was deposited into the new space and the subsequent on site storage locker in perfect order. All the fees and conditions were explained multiple times and extremely straightforward and transparent. There were no surprises. The move came in at exactly the time quoted.
I’ve moved 18 times in the past 15 years and used multiple different companies but decided to try someone new this time. This was the BEST experience I’ve had to date. DO NOT hesitate to use them for your move. I’m not easily impressed and this exceeded my expectations. Rest assured you are in good hands. Thanks again for a job very well done. I would not hesitate to use your services again or recommend to anyone.

Home Move

I was referred to Rent-a-Son by a friend who had used them previously. This was my first experience with using a moving company and I was happy I did. The movers were on time and did my move under the 4 hour minimum. They were polite, friendly and moved quickly. They brought wardrobe boxes as promised and even took a mini break to allow Leon's to use the service elevator to deliver a couch I had ordered. The service was commendable to say the least and I will definitely be using them in future as well as referring them to others.

Great moving job

I did a move within central Toronto and a friend recommended Rent A Son. Amanda came right over and gave me a very accurate quote. She made sure she checked every corner of the house to know exact details of the job. Moving day I had two trucks and five movers. They were right on time and worked very professionally as a team. All were very polite and hardworking. The move took all day and they were great until the end. They took good care of all items and gave advice as to the best way to move items. They showed pride in their work as well as care. I highly recommend Rent A Son.

Best move ever

This is our sixth move, and Rent-A-Son came through with the best move we ever had!

Our move was complicated, because only some of our household was moving, and some was staying. Julian and David showed up a few minutes early and we explained what was going and what wasn't, and they must have taken notes because they got it all without asking again.

They were extremely careful packing the furniture and managed to get it all in the truck without marking up our walls, even in the tight stairwell. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and the whole move took surprisingly little time.

I would highly recommend Rent-A-Son, our experience with them was top-notch!

Furniture Move

We have never used movers before, and we initially booked another company who cancelled our booking last minute. Rent a son was accommodating to our small move with no questions asked. They sent us a quote right away. The 'sons' Alan & Joseph were absolutely amazing, they were on time, fast and friendly. They helped us move things around in the house and as far as I'm concerned went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Rent-a-Son, I would not hesitate to call on them in the future. Cheers!
