Price, reputation, reliability, professionalism - there's a lot to factor in when choosing the right removalists for your big move. While finding the best rate is important, you shouldn't have to worry about dodgy movers and wondering if your goods are actually going to be delivered. 

Not every transport company is credible, reliable or trustworthy. Transport companies don’t require anything other than a truck and a licence to own a removalist business. 

This is one of the main reasons Best Rated Transport exists. We aim to help people moving interstate find a credible and professional interstate removalist. 

Choosing a Good Removal Company 

A removalist is a company or relocation company that provides services to move customers locally or interstate interstate around Australia.

Removalists attend your property with their truck, between two to three removalists and wrap and transit your items interstate, intrastate or just around the corner.

There is so much to compare when looking for a removalist.

1. Check Insurance details
2. Check reviews
3. Ask for a contract

Average Interstate Moving Quotes

Interstate Removalists Costs:

There's a lot to factor here, but, generally speaking, in a move from Brisbane to Melbourne you can expect to pay about $150 per cubic meter depending on season. From Cairns to Melbourne, you're looking at $180 to $300 per cubic meter, depending on season.

The good thing about using a removalist is that the moving materials are all part of it, as it the fuel costs. 

VS:

Hiring a Truck Costs:

This is another good option when moving interstate. To hire a truck to move interstate in Australia can cost upwards of $5,000AU depending on size truck. You will also need to consider the cost of fuel as well as purchasing any moving materials you may need to keep your items safe. 

PRO TIP: Be sure to also check the drivers licence requirements for the size truck you wish to hire. In most cases a standard Australian drivers licence only allows you to hire a 4.5 Tonne truck.

Finding the Best Interstate Moving Quotes: 

You'll need to work out how much cubic volume you have to move.

That can be done by using these calculations.

Simply multiply your items by L x W X H = this will equal your exact cubic volume.

Although it is important to consider volume loss, as some items you cannot stack to the roof of the truck such as carrying pot plants in a truck, you would calculate the measurement to the roof of the truck.

You can complete an online inventory method that will auto calculate for you, we do recommend this option as you would want to purchase the right size hire truck for your move.
