Removalist cost
The full breakdown — hourly rate, driving time, call-out, access, packing. No mystery numbers.
Removalist prices in Melbourne are made up of five components. Every honest mover charges the same five — the difference is transparency.
Our rate is $180/hr for a small setup (up to 20 m³ of belongings) or $195/hr for a large setup (up to 40 m³). That’s the base labour + truck rate. It includes two experienced movers, all moving gear, insurance and the truck.
This is where property size drives cost. These times cover loading at your pickup and unloading at your drop-off combined:
The clock runs from truck departure at your pickup to arrival at your drop-off. Google-verified drive time is used — no inflated route padding.
$100–$300, shown as a single line on your quote, depending on your pickup and drop-off locations. We review every booking and confirm it with you.
There's no access surcharge. Stairs, lifts and long walks to the truck simply take longer, so your quote allows extra time for them at each end, billed at the normal hourly rate.
Every move has a 2-hour minimum charge, then time is billed in 15-minute blocks. Saturday moves are $210/hr (small setup) or $230/hr (large setup), and your instant quote applies the Saturday rate automatically. We don’t move on Sundays.
