Move

We engaged them for a last minute move.
From their customer service, John, to the "sons" Kevin and Juquan, they were professional, helpful and very personable.
Definitely recommend them.

Perfect move from start to finish

I can't say enough about or amazing move experience with Rent-a-Son. Fiona and Erika make the move totally stress free We had to store some items during the staging of our house, and they took care of everything. The day of the move, the team was on time and took great care in wrapping our delicate items. They took care of all the artwork and made sure everything arrived intact and placed well. The whole team was professional and organised throughout! - Rent-a-Son is the best mover in Toronto!

3rd move with Rent-a-Son and AWESOME again!

This was my 3rd move with Rent-a-Son so my expectations were high - and they delivered quality service yet again. They must have great interviewing skills when they're hiring staff - each member of the moving team (Jaquon, TJ, and Nick) were personable and friendly and treated my belongings with care and respect. I had one particularly large and heavy solid wood cabinet (with glass doors and 6.5 ft tall) and they still managed to move it carefully to the new location. And that type of service is why I continue to recommend them to everyone I know!

Amazing experience

The team of Fabio, Brock and Christo made our move from a condo building in downtown Toronto to Thornhill painless. They were professional, friendly and made what we expected to be a stressful day enjoyable. And we had a very heavy upright piano to move through a tight condo unit! Thanks again to the team.

Repeat Customer

This was our second move using Rent-a-Son and it was even easier than the first! We had five Sons arrive early to get themselves set up to start promptly on time and we spent 12 hours with them moving across town. All the Sons were exceptionally courteous and polite and took great care with all of our belongings - bubble wrap, cardboard, blankets, the works! They made a stressful (and hot!) day run smoothly. Amazing.

I would recommend Rent-a-Son to anyone without hesitation.

Outstanding Service!

Thank you Rent-A-Son! You helped us move out of our home and also move most of our items into storage as we are renovating our home. The team was fantastic! I am a professional event planner (Type A :) and they treated me with total respect. Very professional and hard working, only taking a 15 minute break despite my insistence they take a longer one. Got the job done in two hours less than quoted and there was some HEAVY stuff to move! I highly recommend Cliff as your move lead as he was ON it!

John was also fantastic as our move coordinator - he was super responsive and answered my MANY questions.

We will be moving back to our home once the renovation is done and will definitely be using Rent-A-Son again!

Internal move

I needed some large items of furniture moved within the house, including a large sideboard with hutch from the second story to the garage.

The young men arrived on time, were exceedingly polite and helpful. They wrapped the furniture, including boxing up glass shelves, and left it all very organized in the garage for a charity to pick up. As they still had time left on my contract, they asked a few times if there was anything else they could do for me before they left. I am very pleased with their service from booking to completion.

Amazing service - 10/10!

Our entire experience with Rent a Son was phenomenal from start to finish. John, our sales associate was so easy to work with and answered all my questions - plus he even made a last minute change to our move time at no extra cost or fuss. Our movers, Oriki and Corban were the best - they arrived on time (actually I think early!) and they were so friendly - they made a point to know & remember our names and they were so diligent and careful with our furniture. They made sure to review everything with us first and find out what things we wanted to be extra careful with, they also wrapped some of our items for us - which was amazing! These guys stayed a little longer than was contracted and they also helped us move a large couch that wasn't in the original scope - what a lifesaver! Honestly, we couldn't stop telling everyone after the move how happy we were that we hired movers to load our things into our trailer - we initially thought we would do it all ourselves - but wow was it nice to not lift heavy and awkward items after days of packing! We have had bad experiences in the past with movers showing up late and charging a lot of extra fees at the end of the move - this was not the case with Rent a Son and I would highly recommend their service. Special shoutout to Oriki & Corban - you guys were great - thanks so much!! Move Date: May 21, 2023

Internal house move

Two friendly chaps arrived on schedule and after taking a look at what needed to be moved from where to where, set about their tasks. They worked diligently to avoid damaging or scratching walls and furniture and were ultimately successful. While it was not a large or complicated move, there were stairs and large sofas involved as well as a newly painted hall and room and all went well. The two movers were friendly and careful throughout and were on their way within the originally estimated time frame and so the cost estimate was accurate. I am very satisfied.

Move from Woodbridge to Oshawa

I hired Rent-a-Son a week ago for a small move & couldn't be happier with the job they did for me. John, the Moving Coordinator, was a pleasure to deal with - very professional & helpful to me when setting up my move. Amanvei & Denys, the two movers, worked quickly & were careful moving all of my items. It was amazing how strong they were. I had thought it would take two persons to move a couple of my really heavy items, but it only took one of them to carry each one of my extremely heavy items up & down stairs with no problems. As well, I was shocked when I received the final bill for my move as it was less than the amount quoted to me on my original estimate as it took the movers less time than anticipated to load & unload my items. I would definitely recommend Rent-a-Son to anyone wanting a reputable moving company & will not hesitate to use them again for my next move.
