Moving house can be a real hassle, especially when you’re trying to work out what size truck you’ll need and how much the whole job is going to set you back. The good news is, you do not always need a huge removal truck. For many Canberra moves, two men and a truck is all you need.
We offer clear hourly prices based on the size of your move. Whether you are moving a few items, a one-bedroom unit, or a full family home, there is a truck option to suit.

Small Moves and Van Hire
Got a few things to shift around Canberra? A man with a van moving service is an easy, budget-friendly way to get it done. It’s a great fit for a couch, bed, fridge, washing machine, a stack of boxes, or that Marketplace furniture pickup you need brought home.
Our two movers and van package is $130 per hour. It is a good choice for students, small units, storage moves, furniture pickups, and quick local moves around Canberra.
Moving a One or Two Bedroom Home
For most one or two-bedroom moves around Canberra, our 3–4 tonne truck is usually spot on. It comes with two movers and is priced at $140 per hour.
It’s a good fit for apartments, townhouses, and smaller homes, with enough room for beds, lounges, dining settings, whitegoods, boxes, and the usual household bits and pieces.
Getting the truck size right can save you time and money. If the truck is too small, it may mean doing another run, which can drag the day out. Our furniture movers Canberra team can have a quick look at what you’re moving and help you pick the right truck before the big day.
Moving a Two or Three Bedroom Home
For a larger home, our 5 tonne truck with two movers is available for $160 per hour. This option is suitable for two or three-bedroom homes with more furniture and household items.
This is a popular choice for families moving within Canberra. There’s plenty of room for the bigger stuff too — lounges, garage gear, outdoor furniture, whitegoods, and all those packed boxes that seem to multiply on moving day.
With two men and a truck, there’s no need to strain your back or chase down mates for help. Our crew takes care of the loading and unloading, leaving you free to sort out the keys, organise the new place, and get settled.
Larger Family Home Moves
Moving out of a three- or four-bedroom place? Our 8-tonne truck is a solid choice — plenty of room for the bigger stuff, without having to cram it all in.
It comes with two movers and is priced at $190 per hour.
For bigger family homes with four or five bedrooms, the 8–10 tonne truck gives you more breathing room. At $199 per hour, there’s room for the lot — larger furniture, whitegoods, garage bits, storage boxes, and outdoor gear — without trying to pack the truck like a game of Tetris.
Going with a bigger truck can also mean fewer trips between houses, helping the move run faster and making the day a whole lot less stressful.
What Can Change the Cost?
Every move is different. The total cost depends on how long the job takes, not only the truck size. A few things can affect moving time:
- Number of boxes and furniture items
- Stairs, lifts, narrow hallways, or steep driveways
- Parking distance from the front door
- Packing and unpacking requirements
- Furniture dismantling and reassembly
- Distance between the pickup and delivery address
- Heavy or delicate items needing special care
To get the best estimate, let your Moving Company Canberra know the size of your property, what needs moving, both addresses, and any access issues. A quick item list and a few photos can also help.
Pool Tables and Heavy Items
Some things are a bit more than a standard lift-and-shift job. Pool tables, pianos, safes, big gym machines, stone-top tables and delicate antiques all need extra care when they’re being moved.
For anything like this, it’s best to book experienced Pool Table removalists or give the moving team a heads-up before the day.
Interstate Moving From Canberra
Heading out of Canberra? Our interstate removalists Canberra team can help get you to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, or anywhere else around Australia.
Interstate moving costs depend on a few things — where you’re heading, how much room your belongings take up in the truck, access at both homes, your moving date, and how much furniture needs to go.
