FAQ’s

The average cost of hiring removalists in Adelaide ranges from $110 – $180 per hour for two movers and a truck. The final price depends on several factors, including the size of your move, the distance between locations, access at both properties (stairs, lifts, parking), and whether you need extra services like packing or unpacking. Small moves may cost around $300 – $600, while larger home relocations or interstate moves can exceed $1,500. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know the exact cost before booking.
