Corridor: ~103 kmDemand: HighPeak month: JanuaryAbout 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 an hourly rate 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 hourly rate is the median hourly rate (two 30-minute billing units) across completed local moves. Half of the moves were booked below this rate.

Typical total is the median actual cost of completed moves — the hourly rate multiplied by the hours the job really took, not just the two-hour deposit.

Time on the job is the median actual on-the-job time for completed moves, door to door, recorded after the job is finished.

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 hourly rate. 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.

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 hourly local jobs, so travel time is part of the hours 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.
