What a Sydney to Melbourne move involves

  • The routeIt is about 880 km by road, mostly on the Hume Highway, past the Southern Highlands and through the Riverina, crossing the Murray at Albury Wodonga. That is a long run with a loaded truck, so the move is planned around the drive, not squeezed into it.
  • Why a planned date mattersYour pickup and delivery days set everything else: lease ends, settlement, lift bookings and parking at both ends. Choose your dates early and we plan the crew and truck around them. We give you the timing with your quote.
  • Packing and loadingFull or partial packing, with cartons and wrapping for fragile items. Furniture is wrapped and the load is secured for a long trip, so it arrives the way it left.
  • Storage if the dates do not line upIf you have to leave one place before the other is ready, we hold your goods in secure storage, short or long term, and deliver when you are ready. It goes on the same price. See Storage.
  • One price up front, before you bookPacking, loading, the drive, delivery and placing in one price. What drives it: how much you are moving, how much packing you want, access at each end and any storage. If something cannot be known yet, we tell you before you book, not on the invoice.

Access in Sydney

Sydney homes range from terraces on tight streets to apartment towers with shared loading docks. Plan for:

  • Lift and loading dock bookings with your building manager or strata
  • Parking for the truck, which some councils ask you to arrange with a permit
  • Stairs, steep driveways and narrow terrace streets, so we bring the right crew
  • Key handover and building access times at the old and new place

Access in Melbourne

Inner Melbourne has laneways, trams and older terraces, and plenty of newer apartment buildings with booked loading bays. Plan for:

  • Narrow lanes and rear access, which we check with you before moving day
  • Tram lines and clearways, which can limit where a truck can stop
  • Apartment lift and loading dock bookings, often in set time slots
  • Council parking permits where the street needs one

Questions

How long does a Sydney to Melbourne move take?

It depends on the date and how much is moving. We give you the timing with your quote. That way you can plan keys, leases and lift bookings around it.

Do I need a parking permit in Melbourne?

It depends on the street and the council. Some inner Melbourne streets have clearways, tram lanes or permit rules that affect where a truck can stop. Check with the council for your street and tell us what you find, so we can plan around it.

My Melbourne apartment has a loading dock. What should I book?

Book the lift and the loading dock with your building manager for delivery day, and ask about time slots and the height limit for trucks. Send us the details and we plan the crew around your booking.

Can you move me from Melbourne to Sydney?

Yes. We move in both directions the same way: packed, loaded, driven and placed room by room, on one price up front, before you book.

Are my goods insured on the way?

We are insured worldwide. Transit insurance is available on request and quoted separately. Ask us for the details of the cover for your move.
