What does access in Calgary add to the price?

Calgary winter and Chinook melt-freeze cycles are a slip hazard. Downtown towers want a weekday elevator. Older inner-city streets can deny a long truck the last turn. There is no federal mover licence. Ask for insurance and a name that matches the van. GST belongs on the invoice. A hop to Vancouver is a real interprovincial job. If someone asks for a large cash deposit with no survey, treat that as a warning.

A January load that thaws at noon and ices again at 4pm is how a cheap hourly quote becomes two extra hours and a second trip.
