Everything you need to know about moving to Vancouver Island.
Is island life calling your name? It’s beautiful there, and Vancouver Island offers a quieter and slower pace of life. With its beautiful old-growth forests and teeming ocean life, Vancouver Island has become a sought-after place to live. However, many people want to make this move but feel overwhelmed by the logistics. If that’s you, then this article is for you!
What to pack?
Vancouver Island is only a short ferry ride away but moving there makes many people reevaluate their furniture and belongings. The thing that we hear most often is that they don’t want to have to pack and unload all their belongings. However, while preparing to move is always a good opportunity to declutter, it doesn’t mean you have to leave grandma’s antique hutch behind.
Our experienced team of movers can lovingly pack and move all your furniture and belongings. Packing for a trip on the ferry is different than packing for a mainland move. It requires additional protective wrapping of furniture. We also load the truck to ensure that each item is well-secured and won’t shift if there are waves in the channel that day.
So take whatever you want to your new home on the island! Our professional moving team will make sure that it’s all packed and safely secured for the trip across the water.
Maneuvering the ferry.
While most BC residents have walked onto or driven their family car onto a BC Ferry, most have not driven a 26-foot moving truck through all the traffic, speed bumps, and terminals. Just the thought of trying to maneuver a truck of that size can be enough for many people to forgo the journey.
Robust Move has moved hundreds of families to Vancouver Island, and we are old pros at driving moving trucks through tight spaces on the ferry. This is a job best left to the professionals. So sit back and enjoy the ocean breeze on the way to your new home!
