What’s the Real Cost of Hiring Removalists in Brisbane?

💰 How Much Does It Actually Cost to Hire a Removalist in Brisbane?

If you’re searching for removalist pricing in Brisbane, you’ve probably seen everything from $90/hr to $180/hr — so which one’s legit?

Truth is, removalist costs in Brisbane depend on a bunch of variables — but that doesn’t mean you should guess.

At Get It Cheaper, we help you compare trusted removalists in your suburb, with real quotes, no markup, and no hidden fees.


📊 Brisbane Removalist Pricing Breakdown (2025)

Here’s what you can expect to pay in most areas of Greater Brisbane:

Service Type Average Rate
1 mover + ute/van $90–$120/hr
2 movers + small truck (3T) $110–$140/hr
2 movers + medium truck (4–6T) $130–$160/hr
3 movers + large truck (8T+) $160–$200/hr

These prices may vary depending on suburb, availability, and day of the week.


🧾 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

If you're a renter, factor in the cost of bond cleaning — it's often required by your agent or landlord. Instead of juggling two bookings, compare both services here:
