🔹Planning a move from Ontario to Prince Edward Island? VASY Movers has been making this trip - reliably and affordably - since 2007. We operate scheduled shared truck departures from Toronto and Ottawa to Charlottetown, Summerside, and every community across the Island, every single month. During the busy summer relocation season, we run the route more frequently.

🔹Our model is simple: you share truck space with other customers moving in the same direction, which means you only pay for the cubic footage your belongings actually take up - not a flat fee for an entire truck, and never by weight. The result is a full-service, professional long-distance move at a price that actually makes sense for an island move.

🔹Whether you're moving a studio apartment, a full family home, or just a few pieces of furniture, we can accommodate you - and we give you a fixed price upfront, with nothing added on delivery day.

​

Moving to an island isn't the same as moving to another mainland province - there's a bridge crossing involved, fewer moving companies that actually service the route regularly, and less room for error. Here's what makes Vasy Movers the right choice for the Ontario-PEI corridor specifically:
🔹Fixed flat rates, always. The price we quote is the price you pay. No weight-based surprises, no fuel surcharges, no bridge-toll guessing games added after the fact. We price your move by volume - the space your items occupy in the truck - and that number doesn't change.

🔹Scheduled monthly departures. We don't wait around for a full truck before committing to a date. We run this route on a predictable schedule, so your move happens when you need it to.

🔹Full service, door to door. We pick up at your current address in Ontario, cross the Confederation Bridge, and deliver directly to your new address on the Island. No depots, no transfers, no third-party carriers picking up where we left off.

🔹Over 17 years of experience on long-distance Canadian routes, including the run out to Atlantic Canada. We know the highway, the bridge crossing, and exactly what it takes to get your belongings there safely and on time.

🔹Return trips available. Moving back from PEI to Ontario? We run the return route every month too - Charlottetown and Summerside back to Toronto and Ottawa - at the same fixed rates and the same level of service.

​

🔹We serve every city and community on PEI from the following Ontario departure points:

🔹Moving From Ontario: moving from Toronto to Charlottetown, moving from Toronto to Summerside, Toronto → Stratford (PEI), Toronto → Cornwall (PEI), Toronto → Montague Toronto → Kensington, moving from Ottawa to Charlottetown, moving from Ottawa to Summerside, Ottawa → Montague / Souris, moving from Mississauga / Kitchener to PEI

🔹Moving From PEI: moving from Charlottetown to Toronto, moving from Summerside to Toronto, Stratford (PEI) to Toronto, Cornwall (PEI) → Toronto, Montague → Toronto, Kensington → Toronto, moving from Charlottetown to Ottawa, moving from Summerside to Ottawa, Souris/Montague → Ottawa, moving from PEI to Mississauga / Hamilton 

🔹If your destination community on the Island isn't listed above, contact us — we deliver across all of Prince Edward Island, from the Charlottetown core to the smaller coastal towns.
🔹We also pick up in Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Kitchener, Kingston, London, Barrie, St Catharines, Guelph and surrounding Ontario areas. Contact us to confirm pickup availability in your city.

​

A shared truck move - also called a consolidated move - means your belongings travel in the same truck as items from other customers heading toward Atlantic Canada. You pay only for the space your load occupies, measured in cubic feet. For a route as long as Ontario to PEI, this is by far the most cost-effective way to move without renting and driving an entire truck yourself.
Here's the process:
🔹Get a free quote. Tell us what you're moving - a rough inventory or a description of your home - and we calculate the volume and give you a fixed price.
🔹Book your spot. Reserve your place on our next scheduled departure toward the Maritimes. We confirm your pickup date and an estimated delivery window.
🔹Pickup in Ontario. Our crew arrives at your door in Toronto, Ottawa, or another Ontario city, loads your belongings carefully, and secures everything for the long haul.
🔹Across the Confederation Bridge. Our truck makes the crossing onto the Island - no ferry wait, no transfer of your goods to another vehicle.
🔹Delivery in Prince Edward Island. We deliver directly to your new address in Charlottetown, Summerside, or wherever you're headed on the Island.

 

The cost of your move comes down to one factor: how much space your belongings take up in the truck. We price by volume, not weight — so a heavier-than-expected dresser or bookshelf never turns into a surprise on your final bill.

We offer transparent, flat-rate pricing. Once we know roughly what you're moving, we give you a number, and that number doesn't change between booking and delivery.

A few ways to keep your moving cost down:

🔹Declutter before your move — less volume means a lower price, especially over a distance this long

🔹Book as early as you can — spots on our scheduled Maritime departures are limited

🔹Give us a clear, honest inventory when requesting your quote — the more accurate the details, the more accurate your price

After 17+ years moving Canadians across provinces, we know what this route genuinely costs — and we don't pad the estimate to cover ourselves later. What we quote is what you pay.

​​

🔹Charlottetown is PEI's capital and the birthplace of Canadian Confederation — a walkable, historic waterfront city of red-brick buildings, harbour views, and a downtown that's lively well beyond tourist season. It sits roughly 1,900 km from Toronto, and it consistently draws Ontarians looking for a calmer pace of life without giving up city conveniences entirely.
🔹Vasy Movers runs regular departures from Toronto to Charlottetown every month. We handle moves of every size — from young professionals relocating for a government or healthcare job to families making the move permanently. Fixed price, full service, no surprises at delivery.

​

🔹Summerside is PEI's second-largest city — smaller, quieter, and noticeably more affordable than Charlottetown, with a strong small-town character and a growing aerospace and food-processing sector. It's a popular landing spot for families and retirees relocating from Ontario who want Island living without big-city pace, even by PEI standards.
🔹We move customers from Toronto and Ottawa to Summerside on our regular monthly schedule, with the same fixed pricing and full door-to-door service as our Charlottetown route.

​

Ottawa is our second main departure point. We pick up in Ottawa and deliver to Fredericton, Moncton, Saint John, and all other New Brunswick communities on the same monthly schedule. If you're relocating from the National Capital Region to New Brunswick, you'll benefit from the same fixed rates, same full service, and same reliable delivery timeline as our Toronto customers.

 

🔹Vasy Movers also runs the route in reverse — from Prince Edward Island back to Ontario — every month. Whether you're returning to Toronto, Ottawa, or another Ontario city from Charlottetown, Summerside, or anywhere else on the Island, we can accommodate you on a return trip at the same flat rates.
🔹This makes us one of the few moving companies that genuinely services this corridor on a regular schedule in both directions, rather than treating PEI as an occasional, one-off destination.

​

PEI has become a genuine option for Ontarians rethinking where - and how - they want to live. A few of the most common reasons people make the move:
🔹More affordable housing. Average home prices on the Island remain well below Toronto and Ottawa, and rental costs are considerably lower in most communities outside the Charlottetown core.

🔹A genuinely slower pace. Shorter commutes, less traffic, and a tighter-knit community feel that's hard to find in the GTA.
🔹Coastline, every direction. No matter where you live on PEI, the water - and the red-sand beaches the Island is known for - isn't far away.
🔹Strong sense of community. PEI is consistently described as family-friendly and welcoming, which matters for people relocating with kids or aging parents.
🔹Remote work flexibility. More Ontarians are keeping their existing jobs or clients while basing themselves on the Island, taking advantage of lower day-to-day costs.

To be fair, the Island isn't for everyone - the job market is smaller outside tourism, government, and agriculture, and crossing the Confederation Bridge does come with a toll if you're leaving by car. But for the people it suits, it tends to suit them very well.

Here's a practical checklist to keep your move on track:

• Request your quote from Vasy Movers 4–8 weeks before your move date

• Confirm your moving date and reserve your spot on the truck

• Notify your employer, bank, and government agencies of your address change

• Set up Canada Post mail forwarding to your new PEI address

• Transfer your Ontario health card to a PEI health card after arrival

• Contact PEI's vehicle registration office to transfer your vehicle and plates

• Arrange utilities at your new address (electricity, internet, heating)

• Notify your children's school and arrange enrollment on the Island

• Budget for the Confederation Bridge toll if you're driving over separately (charged on the way off the Island, not on the way in)

• Pack a personal essentials box for the days right before and after delivery
