Need to move two couches (one full-size, one loveseat) from a house in Marda Loop (easy access) to a 2nd floor condo downtown (elevator, relatively easy access). Note: Everything else I own will be transported in my SUV -- the couches are too big for it.
Option 1: Rent a u-haul cargo van -- estimated cost $50-$100
Option 2: Pay moving company to transport/carry two couches a few km's.
Is there a company that does small moves like this at a reasonable price? At most it will take 30-45 minutes.
Are there companies other than U-Haul in the SW/DT area that offer affordable cargo van rentals for a few hours?
Any advice would be appreciated as I'm new to Calgary.
I'm sure there's delivery services that could transport the items for $50-75 bucks, but would prefer something reputable (re: not rapey/stabby/stealy).
Enterprise does cargo van rentals. Rented one last weekend and paid about $70 (plus gas) as I declined all the extra coverage. Unlimited KM's (although that is obviously not an issue in your situation).
Although in your situation, I might be inclined to strap the couch to the roof of the SUV and drive like a granny for the 2-3 km

Yeah, was going to follow that up with a video of the "Bad Idea Jeans" sketch from SNL but I was thwarted by Hulu. Damn you Hulu and your discrimination against Canada!
Definately rent a cargo van and DIY. I just rented a U-haul van a month ago. I think it was $20 for 4 hours + so many cents per km. With your mileage it should be about $40-ish. Most moving companies have minimum charges substantially more than this.
