Frequently asked questions
What affects removalist pricing the most?
Distance, the volume of goods being moved and whether you need packing services are the biggest drivers of interstate removalist cost.
Should I include vehicle transport separately?
Yes, if you're shipping a car interstate rather than driving it, add that as its own line item in the other costs field.
Does this include costs like re-registering my car or updating my licence?
No, add any administrative fees for licence or registration transfers as part of the other costs field.
