What is the best way to move across Canada from Vancouver to Ottawa on very little money?

I am moving from Vancouver to Ottawa the end of August. I was looking at having someone move my stuff for me, but this is far too expensive. I am now looking at sending some stuff by Canada Post and then renting a truck (from Budget or National) to drive the bigger stuff home.

I live in a one bedroom and it is pretty packed with stuff. A lot will get thrown out during packing, so not TOO much stuff to move.

Does anyone have any experiences with the drive across Canada? How much will the truck rental cost? What is the best company to use?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you are young and strong, rent a truck if not have a shipper come in and let them do it.

U- Haul trucks are generally junk so check it out carefully before you rent it.

One of the good household movers will in the long run cost about the same as renting and buying gas. And you don't have to drive the truck either.

I hear that putting boxed items on the Greyhound bus is the least expensive way to ship your belongings.
However, selling all your stuff and coming out with your suitcase would be the best.You can always buy 'new' second hand stuff in Ottawa.
When I moved from the West coast the company paid. If they hadn't...I would have sold everything except my photos and 2 lg suitcases full of clothes.
The drive across Canada is long and tedious, but beautiful.It is a great way to see a part of Canada. I shared the driving as well.
I believe the rental companies are all very similar. Remember to read all the fine print.
Good Luck

I have used the railroad system to move from BC to Ontario. They were the cheapest way to do it, and they can handle very large items and weights, but I had to get a truck to deliver my crates at my origin, and to pick them up from the train yard at the destination. It worked out very well, and I would do it again in a flash.

I am looking also trust me getting a moving company isnt the answer they will cost you over 2 grand.......I was looking at uhaul thats cash also ...just in gas alone with the price of that.....I think Ive found my answer.......purolator....they seem pretty good....

I have been in that situation too... Moved from Although it was from Calgary to Ottawa..the best thing to do is to sell as much stuff as you can. I mean sell sell sell !!! And for the things you have left ship by Greyhound. U-Haul is not a good Idea unless you have lots of money laying around. To ship it by air also not a good idea, they charge by weight. Best of luck !

Stay in Vancouver - you will not like Ottawa - especially the Winters.
