How to use
- Choose your move type and enter home size in rooms and distance in km.
- Decide on packing service, storage and insurance with the checkboxes.
- Read your cost breakdown and the low-to-high total range.
Note: Base cost = rooms x per-room rate for the move type. Travel surcharge = distance x per-km rate. Packing = 25 percent of base. Insurance = 2 percent of base. Low = total x 0.85, high = total x 1.2.
Tips
- Get quotes at least 3 weeks before the move — last-minute bookings cost much more.
- Declutter before you move: fewer rooms of stuff means a smaller truck and a lower quote.
- Move mid-week and mid-month when demand and prices are lower.
- Photograph furniture and electronics before the movers arrive so any damage claim is easy.
- For international moves, check customs rules and restricted items well in advance.
