Your compass for a successful emergency move in Montreal
We know the story by heart: you carefully planned your move with friends who promised to help. The truck is booked, the boxes are (almost) ready, everything seemed under control. But then, at the last minute, the excuses start piling up a few days before, or worse, the night before moving day:
"Sorry, I threw my back out at the gym yesterday," "My girlfriend needs me for something else," "I totally forgot I had something else planned", "Sorry, I've got some friends coming over for dinner tonight," "I'm really not feeling well this morning."
And now here you are, short-handed in front of a mountain of boxes. Your rental truck is costing you money and the clock is ticking. Stress is rising. Panic is setting in.
Take a breath: The Captain is here! Déménagement Le Capitaine is your immediate backup plan. We replace your absent friends with a seasoned team of professionals, the right equipment, and a level of efficiency that will turn your logistical nightmare into a successful move.

Frequently Asked Questions Emergencies and Last-Minute Cancellations
Here are the questions our customers ask us most, with clear answers to help you understand exactly what we can do for you.
My help isn't coming. Can you send movers without a truck?
Yes, absolutely. If you already have a rental truck, we can send movers only to load, transport and unload your belongings. Call us to confirm availability.
How much does an emergency move cost?
Our emergency rates are the same as our regular rates: no surcharge because the situation is urgent. You get a clear, honest price before the team heads out.
Do I need to have everything packed before you arrive?
No. If you're short on time, our teams can pack your belongings on site. Just mention it when you call so we can bring the necessary materials.
Can you move me the same day?
Yes, we can mobilize very quickly if we have the equipment and staff available. Call us as soon as possible at 438-366-0102 so we can assess the situation and confirm our availability.
What happens if you don't have availability?
We'll tell you straight on the call, without wasting your time. We do our best to find a solution, even a partial one.
What about payment for last-minute bookings?
A deposit is required before the truck is dispatched. The amount may vary depending on distance, fuel, season and volume to be moved. The balance is settled at the end of the job. No full payment upfront: you pay for a service rendered, not a promise.
