- Google reviews do the ranking. We start with each removalist’s live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled fresh from Google Maps.
- Rating, weighted by volume. A 5.0 from a handful of moves isn’t proof yet, so we weight the score by review count. A proven 4.9 from over a thousand customers isn’t beaten by a 5.0 from thirty.
- Movers, not brokers. These are removal companies with their own crews and trucks, not lead-selling middlemen.
- Paid spots are labelled, and never jump the queue. When a business pays for a “Featured” spot it’s marked as such. The review-based order below does not change to favour a payer. Right now, no spots are sold.

What a move actually costs in Perth (2026)
Removalists price a few different ways, so it pays to know the going rates before you ring around. These are honest Perth guide ranges, GST included. They’re to stop you overpaying, not a quote. Always get the job priced in writing first.
| Job | Typical Perth range | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck (per hour) | $120–$160/hr | Peak dates, stairs, long carry |
| 3 movers + truck (per hour) | $160–$220/hr | Heavy loads, tight or high-rise access |
| Small move (studio / 1-bed unit) | $400–$700 | Packing, parking, distance |
| 2–3 bed house (local) | $900–$1,900 | Volume, stairs, end-of-month rush |
| 4+ bed house (local) | $1,900–$3,800 | Two trucks, packing, pianos/gym gear |
| Packing service (per packer, per hour) | $50–$70 | Fragiles, materials, big kitchens |
| Piano or pool table | $250–$600 | Stairs, craning, distance |
| Interstate backload (per m³) | $80–$150 | Express timing, insurance, full loads |
| Transit insurance | ~1–3% of value | Higher-value or specialty items |
Most Perth removalists charge portal-to-portal (the clock runs from when they leave their depot to when they finish at yours) with a minimum of 2–3 hours plus a truck/callout fee. Get all of it in writing before the day.
Don’t get burned — red flags
- No written quote, and no in-home or video survey on a big move. A number pulled over the phone without seeing your place tends to balloon on the day.
- Big non-refundable deposit, or cash only with no receipt. No paper trail means no warranty and no comeback if something goes wrong.
- Won’t explain their insurance. A mover’s default liability is often tiny (cents per kilo), not the value of your gear. Ask what’s actually covered and get it in writing.
- Open-ended hourly with no estimate. A slow crew can pad the clock. Ask for an estimate and a not-to-exceed cap before they start.
- Brand-new name, no ABN, no reviews. Some operators rebrand to shed bad reviews. Check the ABN and look for recent, specific reviews.
Before you book: quick checklist
- Written quote. Fixed price, or hourly with a firm estimate and a cap. In writing, before the day.
- Insurance. Know what transit cover is included, the excess, and whether you need extra cover for valuables.
- ABN and recent reviews. A steady stream of detailed recent reviews beats one old pile of them.
- What’s billable. Portal-to-portal? Travel or depot fee? Minimum hours? Nail it down up front.
- Crew and truck to suit. Confirm the number of movers and truck size for your job, locked in for your date.
Frequently asked
How did you rank these removalists?
By their live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled from Google Maps. We weight the rating by review volume, so a proven 4.9 from over a thousand customers isn’t leapfrogged by a 5.0 from a handful.
Are these paid placements?
No. This list is ordered purely on Google review data. Businesses can pay for a “Featured” spot at the top, which is clearly labelled, but paying never changes the review-based order below. As of this update, no spots are sold.
Hourly rate or fixed price?
Fixed price gives you certainty on a big move. Hourly can work out cheaper for a small, well-prepped move, but ask for the hourly rate to be capped so it can’t blow out on the day.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to four weeks is sensible, and more around the end of the month and end of financial year, when everyone moves and the good crews book out fast.
