However, with a bit of preparation and the right mindset, your winter move with Fresh Coast Rentals can be a smooth and successful experience.

Check the Weather Forecast:

Stay one step ahead by keeping a close eye on the weather forecast leading up to your moving day. Winter in Grande Prairie can be unpredictable, so plan accordingly and be ready to adapt if necessary. Ensure you have the appropriate clothing, such as warm layers and waterproof gear, to keep you comfortable during the move.


Secure Professional Help:

They'll have the expertise and equipment to navigate icy sidewalks and snow-covered driveways, making the process safer and more efficient. Fresh Coast Rentals can recommend trusted local moving companies familiar with the unique challenges of winter moving.


Protect Your Belongings:

Winter weather can be harsh on your belongings. Safeguard your furniture and valuables by using sturdy, waterproof packing materials. Wrap fragile items carefully, and consider investing in plastic bins to prevent moisture from seeping in. Fresh Coast Rentals ensures that your fully furnished rental is equipped with high-quality, winter-ready furnishings to withstand the elements.


Keep Essentials Accessible:

Pack a separate box with essential items you'll need on moving day and the first night in your new home. This may include warm clothing, toiletries, snacks, and important documents. Having these essentials easily accessible will save you from rummaging through boxes in the cold.


Prepare Your New Home in Advance:

We will insure that your home is set to a comfortable temperature and that all utilities are ready to go. So you don't have to think about one extra thing.


Winterize Your Vehicle:

If you're driving to Grande Prairie, make sure your vehicle is winter-ready. Equip it with snow tires, check the battery, and pack an emergency kit. Ensure your vehicle is in top condition to handle the winter roads as you make your way to your fully furnished rental.
