Greetings,

Can anyone share ideas, experience on moving their belongings from the US to
Canada, and what is the best way to do so.

Is it better to hire a mover or do-it-yourself?

Will US and Canadain customs allow a rental car to be used for landing (like
if we rent a SUV to move our stuff)?

Will US and Canadian customs allow us to drive a U-Haul, etc. thru to Canada
containing our stuff?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

I used ABF (UPack -- http://www.upack.com/)

You pack the truck, they drive it to Canada. You don't pay for gaz like you
would with u-haul.
UPack moved my wife's stuff from south Texas to Montreal for $1,700 US. The
truck stayed in Montreal until we got custom clearance. So yes, they will
cross into Canada, as long as the owner of the stuff as a valid status in
Canada.

I used Budget Rent A Truck because it was cheaper than U-Haul.
Since I live near the border I simply drove it across, (no problem
with customs at all, most helpful) and then drove it back to the US
and dropped it at the closest US drop off point.
