🧾 Common Extra Fees to Watch Out For
Not all quotes are created equal. Make sure you ask if the following extras apply:
-
Stairs or elevator carry
-
Fuel or depot travel fee
-
Minimum booking time (e.g. 2–3 hours)
-
Weekend or public holiday loading
-
Packing and unpacking services
-
Waiting time for key collection or settlement delays
That “cheap” quote might double in price by the time you move.
Use our Brisbane removalist finder to compare quotes that already include these factors — so you don’t get stung.
🧼 Don’t Forget End-of-Lease Cleaning Costs
