Mornington Peninsula removalists — handled with care

The Mornington Peninsula has a distinct property mix — holiday homes and weekenders in Sorrento, Portsea, and Rye sit alongside permanent family homes in Mornington, Mount Martha, and Dromana. Moving to or from a Peninsula property involves longer travel for our crew, reflected in the call-out fee. Many Peninsula properties have sloped blocks, gravel driveways, and limited truck turning space, particularly in the beachside pockets. The Peninsula also sees a high volume of interstate moves — families relocating from Sydney or investing in sea-change properties. Our crew plans each Peninsula job with these conditions in mind.

Yes — moving holiday homes, weekenders, and investment properties is a significant part of our Mornington Peninsula work. Whether you’re furnishing a new beach house in Sorrento, clearing a property in Portsea, or moving contents between your Melbourne home and your Peninsula property, Hire A Mover handles it. We can also provide secure storage between Peninsula moves at our facility from $220/month.

Our standard Melbourne rates are $220/hr for 2 men + truck and $280/hr for 3 men + truck, billed in 15-minute increments. Peninsula moves include a higher call-out fee to account for travel from our Melbourne base — this is clearly itemised in your written quote. The further down the Peninsula (Sorrento, Portsea, Flinders), the higher the call-out component. We never hide travel costs in the hourly rate.

Yes — we service the full Mornington Peninsula including Mornington, Mount Martha, Safety Beach, Dromana, Rosebud, Rye, Blairgowrie, Sorrento, Portsea, and Flinders. For properties at the far end of the Peninsula, we recommend an early morning start to allow the crew to complete the move in a single day. We’ll discuss timing on your booking call.

Yes. Peninsula to Melbourne CBD, inner suburbs, and interstate moves are all handled by Hire A Mover. We manage the full move — packing, loading, transport, and unpacking — with a dedicated coordinator from booking to completion.

The most common access challenges are sloped blocks and gravel driveways (particularly in Sorrento, Blairgowrie, and elevated Mount Martha), narrow single-lane roads in beach pockets, and properties without a paved turning area for the truck. We ask about your access at booking and plan the crew’s approach accordingly. For properties with very limited access, we use smaller vehicles or longer carries — factored into your quote upfront.

Yes — full-pack, fragile-only, and partial-pack services are available. For holiday home furnishing projects or sea-change moves, our full-pack service takes the entire burden off your hands. Boxes are delivered in advance and collected after the move.

Yes. Every move includes Goods in Transit and Public Liability Insurance at no extra charge. Your written quote is the price you pay — no fuel levies, hidden fees, or weekend surcharges.
