Demand: HighPeak month: NovemberAbout this data

Muval uses real marketplace data to help customers understand what local moves typically cost, how long they take, and how competitive an area is. Local moves are billed per half hour: you pay a rate per 30 minutes for the crew and truck, with the first two hours collected up-front as a deposit and the remainder settled once the job is done.

The figures shown on this page are based on aggregated Muval enquiry, quote and completed booking data, generally covering the period from June 2023 onwards. Time-on-the-job figures come from actual completed moves, recorded by the crew after the job is finished. Some suburb pages show benchmarks from their wider metro market, and some route pages show benchmarks from their start city, while page-level history builds — this is noted on the page where it applies.

What the metrics mean

Typical half-hour rate is the median rate per 30-minute billing unit across completed local moves. Half of the moves were booked below this rate.

Lowest rate is the cheapest rate per 30 minutes paid on a completed local move booked through Muval in the past 6 months. The cheapest crews book out first, especially for weekend and end-of-month dates.

Typical total is the median actual cost of completed moves — the crew's full billed time at their half-hour rate, not just the two-hour deposit.

Typical size is the average cubic-metre volume recorded for moves on this page.

2-hour deposit is the typical up-front cost to secure a crew, based on the median half-hour rate (four 30-minute units). Muval collects the first two hours as a deposit when you book.

Book ahead is the median number of days between confirming a removalist and moving day.

Busiest day is the day of the week most local moves in this area are booked for.

Typical saving is calculated from completed bookings where the customer received two or more competing quotes and booked below their average quote. We calculate the percentage difference for each eligible booking, remove extreme outliers, then average the result. Where a dollar saving is shown, it is either a per-hour figure or the total kept over the whole move.

Competition score is a 0–100 score based on competing quotes per enquiry, ranked against other pages of the same kind (city, suburb or route). A score of 50 is around the network median; 100 means more removalists compete here than anywhere else in its category.

Demand is a 0–100 score based on enquiry or booking volume, ranked against other pages of the same kind. Higher demand keeps more crews active in the area.

Peak month is the month with the highest enquiry volume during the October–February peak moving season.

Corridor distance (route pages) is the straight-line distance between the two endpoints. These moves are still booked as local jobs billed per half hour, so travel time is part of the time you pay for.

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, timing or service outcome.

Actual prices, hours and savings will vary depending on your move size, inventory, access conditions, pickup and delivery locations, travel time between them, dates, seasonality, crew availability, minimum charges 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 booked below their average quote. 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, we may withhold certain metrics or show benchmarks from the wider metro or start-city market, noted on the page.

Frequently asked questions

Learn from the moving experts. Can't find an answer? Call us on: 1300 168 825

No, The moving company you book will load and unload the truck with a minimum of two professional removalists.

Yes, it can, as long as you notify us before booking your move.

The best way to ensure a successful move day is to be prepared. One way to do this is to notify your removalist about any very heavy or awkward-to-move items before move day. It can never hurt to double-check with them that they understand that you have these items, even if you have also submitted an inventory list. These sorts of items include:

Grand / Baby grand piano
Pizza oven
Concrete furniture
Pool / snooker tables (particularly slate)
Many pot plants / large pot plants

Yes. This varies depends on which company you are using. Usually, the minimum charge is based on the cost of transporting 5 cubic metres.

We encourage bookings ASAP, and this will hold the price, reserve the space, and give you peace of mind. This can also mean you avoid any future price rise.

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.

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.
