A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each removalist's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring removalists

How much do removalists typically charge?
Removalist costs vary widely depending on job type, distance, crew hours, packing services and access complexity. Quotes commonly combine a call-out or minimum charge with hourly crew rates, plus materials and any travel or after-hours premiums. This page shows live pricing to help you compare options for your specific move.
Do removalists charge call-out fees?
Yes — many removalists charge a call-out or minimum attendance fee that is listed separately from labour and materials. After-hours or weekend work is often charged at a higher rate, sometimes as a multiplier of the standard hourly rate. Always confirm whether a quote includes travel or minimum charges.
What qualifications should I look for in a removalist?
Removalists aren't government-licenced, so look for industry credentials and verifiable business registration such as AFRA or MSAA affiliation and an active ABN. AFRA accreditation is voluntary but often indicates audited equipment, staff training and insurance standards; also check for public liability, carriers' liability and goods-in-transit cover.

Using SureQuote

Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
