Frequently Asked Questions And Answers
Most professional removalists in Melbourne calculate fees at an hourly rate which varies based on the size of truck used and the number of movers. HomeMove offers various packages depending on the size of your move.
| Hourly Rate | Number of Men | Type of Truck | Vehicle Capacity | |
| Medium | from $209/ph | 2 HomeMovers | 4.4 Tonne Truck | 21 cubic meters |
| Large | from $234/ph | 2 HomeMovers | 10.9 Tonne Truck | 47 cubic meters |
You can always choose to make the move go even faster by requesting an additional HomeMover. Depending on the day you choose to move, adding an additional HomeMover to any of the above rates will cost an extra $50-$75/ph.
