Rent A Son reviews (1180)

We used Rent-a-Son to move the contents of our basement into a storage container. Their serrvice was excellent from beginning to end. Our coordinator, Hussein, was friendly and helpful. The movers themselves were prompt, efficient and careful.

RENTASON helped my family move in June, it was a local move within the same general area, and also required emptying out a storage locker. The crew came with 7 movers, everything went as expected, the move went smoothly, everyone was polite and worked hard, We experienced no damage, they took very good care of everything, ensuring to wrap and tape everything from an expensive wall unit to an old wooden chair, everything was given the same care, I would recommend this moving company to anyone.

Rent a Son itself was excellent, particularly Amanda. The estimate was accurate and her communication excellent. They showed up on moving day exactly when they said they would. I wish I could give them five stars. The problem was with the local crew at the Toronto end. While the supervisor was great, there were a couple of gomers who clearly couldn't care less. They managed to shred two large book shelves, something we discovered during unloading in Saskatoon. If I hadn't caught them trying to throw an eighty pound bench on top of the poorly packed load, they would have done that too. Smashing two shelves in to the point of unusability takes some doing. The long distance move was done with North American Van Lines and I'm still not clear if the crew in Toronto was hired by Rent a Son or not. Because we declined NA's exorbitant insurance, they have made us fill out a form for the damage and document it- and then two weeks told us by the way, we'll pay you 60 cents a pound for your wrecked shelves. Rent a Son needs to take some ownership for this as presumably they were involved in the Toronto crew. That choice marred what would otherwise have been a remarkably smooth move considering the distance and bad weather. Unfortunately I'd have to recommend for local moves only, and even then, you're going to need to ask a friend to stand outside and watch the loading process-- something that should not be necessary.

I was entirely satisfied with the professionalism, efficiency and good humour of the three movers that managed my move in June. Despite the dozens and dozens of stairs at both properties, they were incredibly effective and courteous (I am not sure that I would have been, under similar circumstances). My only casualty was one broken glass: excellent. I recommend them 100%.

Rent-a-Son did a great job moving us into our new house. They made extra stops for us, and provided excellent service! Second time using them, and would recommend them to family and friends.

This is our second use of Rent-a-Son and the second perfect score for them. The service began with Hussein who was a marvellous representative who went above the call of duty to assist us. The young movers (Chris, Matt and Nish) worked so diligently that it exhausted us to watch. We cannot think of anything they could have improved on. Thanks, team!!

I recently moved (May 15) from Toronto to Hamilton. I've never hired a professional mover before but this time I wanted to make life easier although I was nervous as I've heard many horror stories about moving companies, Rent a Son was on the top of my short list. Although there were a couple of other candidates with excellent reviews online...I couldn't find a single negative review on Rent a Son. I was very happy when Hussein from Rent a Son very promptly sent me an extremely reasonable quote. All of my dealings with him were incredibly prompt, courteous and professional. On moving day the 2 gentlemen who did my move arrived promptly. They took great care in making sure that my furniture was protected by wrapping it in moving blankets. They wasted absolutely no time in getting things packed up into the truck and were also very helpful in managing a couple of small issues that came up. On the other end in Hamilton..the guys had been forewarned that I was 3 flights up in a walk-up. All the same...I've had delivery people complain about bringing one item up to my apartment. The guys at Rent a Son really put an incredible effort to get all of my things safely and quickly moved up to my new unit...all without even a hint of a complaint about the stairs. Superb job and one of the best companies I've had the pleasure to deal with. Simply outstanding and i cannot recommend them enough! Jim T

We needed help moving all our furniture into a pod and I called Rent - A - Son for help. The day of the move they arrived on site on time and they loaded the pod very quickly totally professional. Once my new house is ready I will call them again to unload the pod. Thank you!

Rent-a-Son did a 2 day house move for us in June 2014 and did a fantastic job! The first day was 2 trucks and 6 guys and the 2nd day was 1 truck and 3 guys. They worked tirelessly to get our large home moved as efficiently as possible. Friendly movers and very quick. Because it was a two day move, they worked to prioritize what was going on Day 1 and to see that the trucks were packed to the roof so that we would get all the rest into the last truck on Day 2. In a nutshell, they did exactly what we asked them to do (including moving furniture they'd just moved to the basement out again and into the garage, since it didn't really fit. I was a little worried, because their estimate was about $1000 less than two other companies we looked at, however, in the end, the cost was LESS than the estimate since Day 2 took less time than anticipated. After hearing horror stories about movers, I would NOT HESITATE to recommend Rent-a-Son to any of my friends who are moving. Great job folks!!!

Moving is always stressful, or so I thought. Skyler and John showed up exactly on time. They moved briskly, damaged nothing, were very pleasant to work with, never swore, seemed to enjoy their work, set everything down neatly and finished early. So now I see moving is not always stressful, after all. Rent-a-Son performed as promised. If I were a competitor, I'd start worrying. If I move again, I know who to hire.
