Long-Distance Moving Specialists
A long-distance move out of Ontario takes more than a truck and a crew. We coordinate the route, schedule, and delivery window in advance so every stage of your move works from the same plan.
Learn MoreFull-Service Packing and Unpacking
Some customers want us to pack the whole house. Others only need help with fragile items. Fragile-only packing is available from about 34% of Ontario movers. American Van Lines offers both options, plus packing materials if you'd rather handle the rest yourself.
Learn MoreMoving and Storage
We own storage warehouses in Florida, Texas, and North Carolina. For your move from Ontario, we can coordinate storage through our national partner network and schedule it alongside your move, so you aren't left dealing with separate providers and timelines.

Learn MoreDisassembly, Reassembly, and Crating
Some furniture should come apart before it ever reaches the truck. Our crews handle disassembly, custom crating when needed, and reassembly at your new home, so you aren't left doing it yourself on either end.

What to Expect When Moving From Ontario
Here's how our process works, from your first call to final delivery:
Request Your Free Quote
Reach out for a free quote with no obligation to book. We'll ask a few quick questions about your home size, timing, and destination to provide a detailed flat-rate estimate.

After you book, you'll work with a dedicated move coordinator who keeps everything organized, from scheduling and paperwork to any last-minute questions that come up.

On moving day, our team carefully handles loading and transport. You'll receive updates throughout the journey so you always know where things stand.

Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Ontario
- Do a quick check a week out. Confirm your timeline, addresses, and contact numbers with your moving coordinator so everyone is on the same page.
- Pack a first-night bag. Set aside a bag with toiletries, chargers, medications, a change of clothes, and anything else you'll need before the boxes are unpacked.
- Photograph electronics before you disconnect them. Snap a quick photo of the back of your TV, computer setup, and other wired items before you unplug. It'll save you time at your new place.
- Build in extra time. Add a buffer to your schedule for delays, traffic, or weather. Long-distance moves have more variables than local ones, and flexibility reduces stress.
- Plan around the heat. Ontario summers average 92°F. Schedule loading for early morning, keep water on hand for the crew, and move heat-sensitive items last so they spend the least time on the truck.
- Sort out the truck’s parking spot early. Ontario has permit and parking requirements that apply to moving trucks. Handling that in advance beats improvising while a loaded truck sits idling.
- File your change of address. Update your address with USPS before you go so mail follows you without a gap.
FAQs
How long does a long-distance move usually take?
There's no single answer, since distance, home size, and scheduling all play a role. That said, most long-distance moves take between 3 and 14 days. American Van Lines will confirm your estimated delivery window before your move begins.
What's the best time of year to move?
Generally, moving between September and May gives you more flexibility on dates and sometimes better pricing. If you have to move in summer, booking early is key since it's the busiest season for long-distance movers.
What is an inventory?
Your moving inventory is a room-by-room list of everything going on the truck. American Van Lines uses it to calculate your flat-rate estimate and confirm that every item is loaded and delivered as expected.
What payment methods do you accept, and when are payments due?
We accept major credit and debit cards as well as certified checks. Payment for long-distance moves is typically due at delivery. Your move coordinator will review the payment terms with you before your move date.
Do you provide or sell packing materials?
Yes. When you add packing services, materials are included. If you're packing yourself and need supplies, we sell boxes, tape, and protective materials and can deliver them to your home before your move.
