Hourly rate local removals

Hire movers by the hour

When you hire our movers by the hour, you only pay for the time you use. We provide this service for people who want to manage their own move and know they’ll need some help but don’t know how much until moving day. It makes DIY moves easier, as we can do as little or as much as you need, or even manage the whole move if you get overwhelmed.

Why hire movers by the hour?

  • You can use as much or as little of our time as you choose.
  • It’s ideal if you know you can move all the smaller items yourself and just need help with the furniture and large, heavy items.
  • Hiring by the hour is a transparent and flexible approach to moving. If you don’t need us for as long as you thought, you pay less. If the job takes longer or you find you need more help than you thought, the price adjusts accordingly.
  • Every move is different, so hourly rates provide a fair price for your specific requirements and a personalised, efficient moving experience.
  • It’s ideal for people moving on a budget who are willing to do as much of the work themselves to keep costs down.

Why move with us?

  • We charge an hourly rate on a depot to depot basis which includes our travel time pre-calculated by Google. We appreciate that time is money. So while we may quote you a rate per hour, we only charge you to the nearest minute.
  • We have branches in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Townsville. all providing movers by the hour.
  • You can also buy moving boxes and packing materials at any of our branches if you’re packing yourself.
  • All our removalists are experienced and trained professionals who carry removal equipment to manage any item with ease.
  • We’re flexible and can tailor any moving package to your requirements, so if you need to add on storage, packing services or pet transport, we’ll look after those too.

By the hour essentials:

  • Refer to our packing tips if you’re packing yourself to minimise the risk of breakages or damage.
  • Make sure everything is packed and ready to go on moving day. If you’re still packing items you want us to move, it adds time, which adds cost. If everything is ready, we get it moved right away.
  • Plan and prepare for where we can park our moving truck. The closer we can get the truck to your house will save you money.
  • Make sure you provide clear access from your house to the moving truck to reduce loading times.
  • Never try to lift anything you can’t pick up easily. Let us handle the heavy stuff.
