Demand: HighAbout this data

Muval uses real marketplace data to help customers better understand what interstate moves typically cost, how competitive a route is, and how far in advance people usually book.

The figures shown on this page are based on aggregated Muval enquiry, quote and confirmed booking data, generally covering the period from June 2023 to June 2026. For city pages, the data may be split between moves to that city and moves from that city. For route pages, the data is specific to that direction — for example, Sydney to Melbourne is treated separately from Melbourne to Sydney.

What the metrics mean

Average move price is the mean price paid across confirmed Muval bookings for this page or route.

Median move price is the middle confirmed booking price. This is often a better guide to a “typical” move because it is less affected by unusually large or expensive moves.

Average price per cubic metre is calculated by dividing the average booked move price by the average move size. This helps compare pricing across different home sizes.

Median price per cubic metre is calculated for each booking as price divided by cubic metres, then we take the median across those bookings.

Average move size is the average cubic-metre volume recorded for confirmed bookings.

Average quotes per move is the average number of removalist quotes customers received for this route or page.

Competition score is a 0–100 score showing how competitive this route is based on quote volume. A score of 50 is around the Muval network median, while 100 means the route is among the most competitive in the network.

Route demand is a 0–100 score based on enquiry volume. A higher score means more customers are searching for this route compared with other interstate pages.

Typical savings are calculated from confirmed bookings where the customer received two or more quotes and paid less than the average quote they received. We calculate the dollar and percentage difference for each eligible booking, remove extreme outliers, then average the result.

Busiest on-peak and off-peak months show the month with the highest enquiry volume during peak season, generally October to February, and off-peak season, generally March to September.

Median lead time, enquiry to move is the typical number of days between a customer submitting an enquiry and their requested move date.

Median lead time, booking to move is the typical number of days between a customer confirming a removalist and their move date.

Average transport timeframe or typical transit time is based on the average pickup-to-delivery timeframe from confirmed bookings where delivery dates were recorded.

Important disclaimer

These figures are indicative only and are provided to help customers understand general marketplace trends. They do not represent a quote, estimate, offer, guarantee or promise of pricing, availability, savings, delivery timing or service outcome.

Actual prices, savings and transit times will vary depending on your move size, inventory, access conditions, pickup and delivery locations, dates, seasonality, availability of interstate removalists, minimum charges, fuel and operating costs, and any extra services requested.

Where savings are shown, they reflect historical Muval booking data for eligible moves where customers received two or more quotes and paid less than the average quote they received. Savings are not guaranteed. Some customers may save more, save less, or receive quotes that are higher than the figures shown.

Muval applies minimum sample sizes, data cleaning and outlier trimming before publishing these figures. Where there is not enough reliable data for a page or route, we may withhold or limit certain metrics.

A cubic metre is 1m x 1m x 1m. A full-sized container size is 38m3.

Truck sizes vary from 20m3 to 70m3 and sometimes 100m3.

Muval is a booking platform. We find reliable moving companies at a competitive rate. We help companies fill their space with customers that are happy to fit in with the truck schedule. It is called a shared load option.

It is preferable to consider taking out an all-risk policy for your move. We offer two different options of coverage for your move, which include lowering the excess to obtain a lower premium or the ability to cover specific items of your move: https://www.muval.com.au/cover

If you change your list of items or space required to an increased amount, the removalist will adjust the price accordingly. It is advisable to inform Muval as soon as you know that your moving volume has increased. This way, we can plan to avoid any items being left behind on the move day. Please contact Muval about two days before your move once you have finished packing; this way, we can give the correct information to the removalist company before the day.

To see the pricing, you will need to click on the link in your email. This will take you to our website where you can see your options.

No one expects that you keep the original box that your TV came in when you bought it. Most removalists can provide special TV moving cardboard boxes that can help to keep your TV safe and secure while being transported (make sure you enquire about this before your move day. Otherwise, you can protect your television by wrapping it in blankets and then wrapping that tightly in cling film. Finally, as a peace of mind measure, we recommend purchasing one of our affordable moving insurance policies to protect your most valuable possessions like your TV in case of an accident.
