About Removalists in South Australia

Removalists handle the physical move of your belongings from one property to another, plus office moves, single-item deliveries, and short-term storage. South Australian removalists range from owner-operators with a single truck to large national franchises with multiple crews.

Common removalist jobs:

• Full house moves (1-bed, 2-bed, 3-bed, 4-bed properties)
• Office and commercial relocations
• Single-item delivery (couch, fridge, piano)
• Interstate moves to/from Adelaide
• Storage and re-delivery services
• Packing service (full pack or partial)
• Furniture disassembly and reassembly
• Pre-move and post-move cleaning (often combined)
• Backloading (cheaper option for partial trucks heading interstate)

What it usually costs: Local Adelaide moves are typically charged hourly: $100–$150 per hour for 2 movers + truck, $140–$200 for 3 movers + truck. A typical 3-bedroom local move runs $700–$1,400. Interstate moves charged by cubic metre — Adelaide to Melbourne approximately $1,500–$3,500 for a 3-bed, Adelaide to Sydney $2,000–$4,500.

Hiring tips: Always ask about their insurance — there are two types. Public liability (covers their gear damaging your home) and transit insurance (covers your belongings during the move). Both matter. Get the quote in writing with the hourly rate, minimum hours, travel time charging, and any extras (stairs, pianos, fuel levy). Beware of suspiciously cheap quotes from interstate carriers — there's a long history of holding belongings hostage for additional fees in the Australian removals industry. Check Google reviews and ask for references for any move over $2,000.
