You’ve got everything organised for your possessions, furniture, yourselves and the kids, etc., and the excitement is building about your upcoming move, but suddenly it dawns on you “What about our car/second car?”
How can you get your car to your new home and without adding more stress and travel time to your move? Panic time? Or is it?
The good news is, there are some simple, quick and affordable ways of moving car interstate. What we will help you do is go through the options so that you can choose the road that best suits your situation.
Most people are surprised to find out their contents aren't necessarily insured for damage during transit by the removalist, or covered in their home and contents insurance.
So you're moving, you've got a date in mind for the move and you're looking around for a suitable furniture removalist.
If you get a couple of quotes (and we recommend you do), you'll notice some differences in how removalist's quote, what they charge, how they charge and what they include.
Should you move interstate? Key stats & resources to help you decide
In our experience, a move interstate is usually the result of a big life change - either for personal or work reasons. Or in the case of business - usually as a result of expansion. Either way, getting to a point where you've reached the big decision - to move or not to move - there's a lot of pros and cons to consider. As interstate removalists we've talked to hundreds if not thousands of clients over the years, so we've got a few insights that may be helpful to you in your decision making.
If you're moving interstate, it’s likely due to a big life change and you will have valuable or irreplaceable items that you need moved egg-spurtly.
Wouldn't it be nice to settle into your new home without anything to worry about? No broken furniture. No missing items. No lost valuables. If you want your move to go off with the least amount of damage, stress, and lost items, then we'd recommend you look at hiring professionals to help with the move itself. We can't help with moving the family, but just about everything else? Including the pets? We sure can!
Before we go any further - we want to clarify that boxes for general household storage are not suitable to use for your move. Why? Because generic storage boxes you can purchase locally, say from your local hardware store, are not designed to be strong or tough enough for commercial transportation. Generic storage boxes used for a commercial move is likely to result in boxes giving way under weight, or tears and punctures to the box, all resulting in damage to your items. Generally, you’ll probably pay more per box for a moving box over a storage box, but it’s definitely worth the investment.
