How much do removalists cost in the Eastern Suburbs?

Eastern Suburbs moves often take longer due to apartment access, lifts, and parking. Hire A Mover charges $220/hr (2 men) or $280/hr (3 men) billed in 15-min increments plus a one-off call-out fee. A 2-bedroom apartment typically runs $900–$1,500 depending on floor level and access.

Home Size Typical Cost Est. Time
2 Bedroom $660–$1,100 3–5 hrs
3 Bedroom $1,100–$1,980 5–7 hrs
4 Bedroom $1,760–$3,080 8–11 hrs
5 Bedroom+ $2,800–$4,400 10–14 hrs
Do I need to book the lift in my apartment building?

Yes — most apartment buildings in Bondi, Randwick, and Coogee require advance lift bookings, typically 48–72 hours. Some buildings also require a refundable damage deposit. We’ll advise you on what to organise when you request your quote.

Are there parking restrictions I need to know about?

Eastern Suburbs streets have some of Sydney’s strictest parking rules. Many have timed clearways and no-stopping zones. We recommend applying for a council parking suspension zone 5–7 days before your move. We can advise on the process for your specific suburb.

How far ahead should I book in the Eastern Suburbs?

3–4 weeks for weekday moves, 5–6 weeks for weekend moves and end-of-month settlement dates. The Eastern Suburbs has one of Sydney’s highest demand rates — don’t leave it late.

What happens with heritage terrace homes?

Heritage terraces in Paddington and Surry Hills often have very narrow hallways and steep stairs. We assess access requirements when quoting and bring the right equipment — furniture dollies, stair-climbing gear, and extra padding for tight corners.

Are there hidden fees?

No. Hire A Mover charges a single hourly rate — no fuel levy, no stair fee, no back-to-base, no weekend surcharge. Our written quote is what you pay.

Fee Type Others Charge Hire A Mover
Fuel levy $30–$80 Not charged
Back-to-base 30–60 min extra Not charged
Stair fee $25–$50/flight Not charged
Weekend surcharge 10–20% Not charged
