MoveSnap is “everything you need for your move in one place”. The website is an easy way to organize all moving related tasks to help you stay on track and minimize the stress of moving. Here are the top 8 ways MoveSnap can help simplify your move:
-
Arrange Your Move:
- Hire a mover: Get a free estimate by filling out a short web form detailing your move and location. The site will follow up with a competitive array of estimates and allow you to compare, select and save.
- Rent a Truck: If you’re looking to save some money and are willing to do some of the heavy lifting, rent a truck. MoveSnap offers instant truck rental estimates based on your location, and the number of bedrooms you need to move.
- Arrange Storage: Whether you need a place to store belongings before the moving date or you just have too much stuff, you can arrange a storage unit in just a couple clicks. Similar to the rent a truck function, you receive an instant quote based on your location and number of bedrooms you need to store.
- Book an Elevator: Without picking up a phone you can have MoveSnap get in touch with the property managers of your current residence and the building you’re moving to. Simply enter your current address and your future address in the boxes provided and let the site do the rest.
-
Change Your Address
This could be the most cumbersome task of them all. On average a person will have to contact 15 organizations and businesses to change their address. MoveSnap allows you to connect with the Federal Government, Provincial Services, Passport and Immigration, Financial Institutes and it also helps you create lists of other places to contact, i.e. schools and dentist.

Declutter your home
Unfortunately, you can’t click one button and instantly have your home decluttered but the site does offer some fun tips and tricks to help you get the job done.
Click the room you want to tackle and the site will give you a difficulty level, a list of things you’ll need and a recommended approach.
