Pricing & booking

The big questions.

How much do removalists cost in Brisbane?

Our hourly rates are $125 to $169 per hour + GST, depending on the type of move and truck size, for a moving truck and two professional movers, with all standard moving equipment included. Travel is charged depot-to-depot or as a call-out fee depending on the job and location. Your total depends on how much you're moving, access at both properties and the distance, and every charge is confirmed with you before you book.

What's included in the hourly rate?

A moving truck, two professional movers, quilted blankets and furniture pads, flat dollies and hand trolleys, ratchet straps, large stretch wrap and basic furniture dismantling. Bubble wrap and dish packing paper are available on request.

Are you insured?

Yes. We hold public liability insurance, and goods in transit insurance that covers damage caused by our negligence. It isn’t cover for your belongings against every risk, so for valuable items we recommend your own transit insurance or checking your home and contents policy.

Do you move offices and commercial premises?

Yes. Office, commercial and warehouse relocations are a core part of what we do. We plan around your building access, lifts and loading docks, and can work after hours, on weekends or public holidays so your business keeps running.

Do you move between Brisbane and the Gold Coast?

Yes, in both directions. We also handle local moves throughout the Gold Coast, and cover Logan, Ipswich, Redlands, Moreton Bay and surrounding areas.

Can you pack everything for me?

We offer full-house and partial packing, including fragile and high-care items, packing for local, interstate and overseas moves, and unpacking at the other end. Packing materials are available.

Do you work weekends, public holidays or after hours?

Yes, subject to availability. Urgent and last-minute moves can also be arranged when a crew is free. Any additional charges are confirmed with you before booking.

How do I secure a booking?

A deposit of two hours at your quoted hourly rate secures your date and comes off your final invoice, with the balance paid on completion. You can cancel or reschedule without a fee with at least 48 hours’ notice before your move. Cancellations with less notice incur a fee of three hours at your booked hourly rate. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.

Is there anything you won't move?

We don’t transport hazardous or prohibited goods such as chemicals, gas bottles, asbestos or flammable substances. Work that needs a licensed tradesperson, such as disconnecting plumbing or electrical, is arranged separately.
