That&#8217;s the question.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of hiring a removal company depends on a\nnumber of factors (size of the move, complexity of the job, time of the year,\netc.), but the type of the move (a <em>local\nmove<\/em> or a <em>long distance\nmove<\/em>) is the major determinant. So, to learn the answer to the\nquestion \u201c<em>How much does it cost to move a house in New Zealand?\u201d<\/em>, one\nneeds to find out the cost to hire movers in town and the cost to hire\nlong-distance removals first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to learn the average cost to hire a moving\ncompany and understand how removal company costs are calculated for different\ntypes of house moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Hiring Professional Removals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring a removal company will give you peace of mind\nand will take much of the moving stress off your shoulders &#8211; the professionals\nwill do all the hard work for you, will provide your belongings with the best\npossible protection, and will ensure a safe, smooth, and successful relocation.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a good idea to hire professional removals when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You\u2019re moving a large household;<\/li><li>You have many specialty items &#8211; antique furniture, grandfather clock, piano, pool table, etc. &#8211; that are difficult to pack and move;<\/li><li>You\u2019re moving long distance (such as from Auckland to <a href=\"\/move\/moving-to-wellington\">Wellington<\/a> or from Nelson to Dunedin);<\/li><li>You\u2019re moving from the North Island to the South Island (or vice versa);<\/li><li>You don\u2019t have enough time to pack up your entire home, organize the complicated relocation process, and complete all arduous relocation-related tasks;<\/li><li>You don\u2019t have previous experience moving house.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Risking damaging your valuable belonging or hurting yourself lifting and carrying heavy items is not worth it &#8211; using professional moving services may cost more than moving yourself, but it will save you time, effort and trouble. The pros have the rich experience, technical know-how, and specialized equipment to perform your move in the safest and most efficient way possible. And they will tell you the final moving cost in advance (the removal company quotes include all the charges &#8211; packing materials, moving labor, transportation, extra fees, etc.), so you can plan your finances and <a href=\"\/move\/moving-budget-checklist\">make a realistic moving budget<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Removal Company Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how much do movers charge? Depending on the type\nof the move, removal companies estimate the cost based on the time to complete\nthe job or on the total weight of the shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Local moving cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Time is the\nmost important factor when estimating the cost of a local move, as local removals\ncharge by the hour. They tally up the time that the removal truck will need to\nget from the origin to the final destination and the number of work hours it\nwill take the moving crew to load and unload the shipment and add the costs of\nthe required extra services and packing materials. The resultant equation looks\nlike that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Local moving cost = (Hourly rate) X (Number of movers) X (Number of\nhours to complete the move) + (Charges for additional services and packing\nmaterials)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind though that many local removal companies\nhave a minimum charge, equal to the charge of 2-4 hours\u2019 work, so even if your\nmove takes less time, you will have to pay this minimum amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Long distance moving cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes\nto long distance moves, the moving cost is estimated based on the volume of the\ngoods (or the total weight of the shipment) and the actual distance to the\nfinal destination. The basic formula to calculate the cost of a long-distance\nmove across New Zealand is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Long distance moving cost = (Load volume\/weight) X (Rate per pound per\nmile) X (Relocation distance) + (Charges for accessorial services and packing materials)<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The removal companies\u2019 rates are listed on the\ncompanies\u2019 official websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Removal Company?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The average cost of hiring a removal company is about <strong>$1000-$1500 for a local move<\/strong> and about <strong>$4000-$5000 for a long distance move<\/strong>.\nOf course, the price can be much lower or much higher depending on the specific\ncircumstances in each individual relocation case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost to hire movers for a local move?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the average local removal company costs,\nhiring two men and a van for a move across town will cost you between <strong><em>$110\nand $160 per hour<\/em><\/strong> (every extra man is an additional $35 per hour). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on where you live, the rates and the overall\nlocal moving cost will vary. Travel fees or booking fees may also apply\ndepending on the pickup location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the approximate costs you can expect for your\nlocal move, depending on the size of your home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/local-removals.jpg\" alt=\"Local moving costs depend on the time it takes movers to complete the job.\" class=\"wp-image-31006 lazyload\" data-aspectratio=\"347\/520\" width=\"347\" height=\"520\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/local-removals.jpg 400w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/local-removals-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><figcaption>It will be quite affordable to hire two movers and a truck for your local move.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Moving out of a one-bedroom apartment with the help of 2 local movers will cost you about&nbsp;<strong>$500 <\/strong>if the entire loading, transportation and unloading operations are completed within 4 hours.<\/li><li>The cost of moving a 2-bedroom home (approximately 1000 square feet) across town will be about <strong>$700-$800<\/strong>, presuming that the relocation job is finished in 5-6 hours.<\/li><li>When moving out of a 3-bedroom apartment or house (roughly 2000 square feet), you can expect to pay between <strong>$1000 <\/strong>and<strong> $1500 <\/strong>for a moving crew of 4 members who manage to complete the local move in 8 hours.<\/li><li>For larger homes, the moving price can go <strong>up to $2500<\/strong>. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you request packing services, the cost of your\nlocal move will increase by $400-$800 (packing materials are usually included\nin the price).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Good to\nremember:<\/strong> If you\u2019re happy with\nthe way your local removals handled your relocation, you may want to reward\ntheir efforts by offering them a tip. The standard tip when you\u2019re moving short\ndistance is around <strong>$5 per mover per hour<\/strong>, but you can always tip your removalists\nmore if you\u2019re really satisfied with their job. Just make sure you\nhand&nbsp;each crew member their share instead of giving&nbsp;the lump sum to\none person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These sample prices can give you an idea about the\naverage cost of local moves in New Zealand but the best way to find out the\nactual cost of your move is to get a free moving quote and see what different\nlocal removal companies have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost to hire movers for a long distance move?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When moving to another region, your moving cost will be determined by the volume of your items and the distance to your new home. Expect to pay an average of <strong><em>$5000<\/em><\/strong> to have the contents of a 3-bedroom home moved at a distance of <strong><em>1000 kilometers. <\/em><\/strong>You will be charged extra for any additional services you may need and some extra fees may apply \/see below for more information\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to know that long distance moving costs\nare calculated on a case by case basis because the moving price&nbsp;depends on\ntoo many factors. To learn your actual moving cost, you need to get several\nremoval company quotes and request on-site estimates from three of four\nlong-distance movers who seem to best suit your relocation needs and\nrequirements. A company representative will visit your home, assess the situation\n(number and type of items you have for moving, possible difficulties and\nobstacles, desired pickup and delivery dates, etc.), and will give you an\naccurate estimate of your moving costs. (It\u2019s a good idea to request a binding\nestimate as it will guarantee to some extent that the final cost of your move\nwill not exceed the estimated amount.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CAUTION<\/strong>: Should you happen to receive a price estimate that is way lower than the rest, proceed with caution as that could be a sign of moving fraud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some sample long distance moving costs to give\nyou an idea about what you can expect to pay for your intercity move:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Moving out of\na 1 bedroom apartment will cost you around<strong>$2000<\/strong> for a distance of\n1000 km. <\/li><li>The cost of\nmoving a 2 bedroom home at a distance of 1000 km will be between<strong> $3000 <\/strong>and<strong> $4000<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Moving a 3\nbedroom house to a place located 1000 km away will cost about <strong>$5000<\/strong>.<\/li><li>The cost of\nmoving a larger home can soar up to <strong>$7000\nand more<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that all these example prices are only approximate.
