International Moving Cost Calculator

Are you planning to relocate overseas? Do you need help transporting your items across the border into the United States? No matter where life takes you next, North American Van Lines offers affordable international moving prices you can benefit from.

The cost of moving overseas or across the border will vary, depending on what you're relocating and where you're going. Hiring a professional moving company is the most effective way to budget for these expenses. However, you'll want to compare international move costs and pricing associated with your upcoming relocation. Use our international moving cost calculator below to get started.

Factors That Affect International Moving Costs to Canada

The three main factors that influence international moving costs are the weight of your items, the distance, and the moving services your relocation requires. Most international moving companies charge by the weight of your items. The more items you need help relocating or the bigger the home, the more you can expect to pay for your moving expenses.

The distance will also influence your total cost. The further you move from your current home, the more you can expect to pay for fuel, transportation and labor fees. Lastly, the moving services you choose will also impact the price. For example, a full-service move will be less stressful for you but will be more expensive than a partial move. Other factors, such as time of year and day of the week, can cause the cost to fluctuate.

If you're trying to save on international move costs, it's best to consider all factors to ensure you get the best possible price.
