How Much Do Removalists Cost in Perth?

Hourly rates vs a fixed quote

With Moviq, standard moving starts from $159.70/hr (28m³ truck, two movers). Larger trucks start from $189.70/hr. A minimum of 2 hours applies.

SmartQuote estimates volume and recommends a truck — it does not lock in a fixed total for the whole move. The final invoice is hourly rate × actual hours, plus travel/call-out and approved extras, minus the booking fee already paid.

What drives the total cost

Two homes with the same floor plan can cost different amounts if access or packing differs. These factors usually matter most:

• Number of movers and truck size
• How packed and ready you are when the crew arrives
• Stairs, lifts, long carries and parking distance
• Property size and volume of furniture
• Travel/call-out time between depot, pickup and delivery
• Approved extras (extra crew, special handling)

Travel and call-out time

Jobs typically include travel/call-out time (often around 30 minutes as a starting point, confirmed before booking). That time is part of how the move is priced — not a surprise add-on invented on the day.

Apartments vs houses

Apartment moves often use more hours for the same volume because of lifts, stairs and loading zones. House moves can be faster with driveway access — or slower if the garage and shed are full and unpacked.

Tell us access details early so the booking reflects the real job.

Ways to reduce moving time (and cost)

Customers who prepare well usually finish sooner:

• Pack boxes before the crew arrives; empty drawers where practical
• Clear paths and reserve parking or loading space
• Book lifts with the building in advance for apartments
• Declare oversized or special items early
• Be ready at your arrival window
