6 things that decide your moving cost
Your moving cost is decided by volume, distance, access, packing, special items and building rules — not by a fixed rate card.
-
How much you are moving
A 1RK and a 3BHK need very different amounts of packing material, crew time and truck space. Home size (1RK, 1BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK, Villa, Office) and the list of big items are the biggest factor.
-
Distance and route
A move inside Chennai is priced differently from a move from Chennai to another city or state. The pick-up and drop addresses decide the route and the time on the road.
-
Floor, lift and stairs
Which floor you are on, whether there is a lift at both homes, and how far the truck can park from the door all change how long loading and unloading take.
-
Packing you choose
You can choose “Full packing & moving” or “Moving only”. Full packing uses more material and crew time than moving only.
-
Special and heavy items
Fridges, washing machines, TVs, sofas, wardrobes, glass and fragile items, computers — and bikes — each need their own handling. Tell us about them so the quote is complete.
-
Building and society rules
Fixed shifting hours, lift booking slots and gate-pass rules decide how many people we send and when, so share them early.

How to keep your moving cost under control
Move less, share full details up front and plan access in advance — that keeps the quote accurate and the day smooth.
- Give away or sell what you no longer use before asking for a price.
- List every large item — fridge, washing machine, sofa, wardrobes, bike — so nothing is added later.
- Share the floor and lift details for both homes.
- Check your society’s shifting hours and lift booking rules early.
- Decide whether you want full packing or moving only.
- Ask for the quote in writing and check what it includes.
FAQs
Moving cost questions
Straight answers about how we price a move. For your exact price, use the Know Your Price form — it is free.
01Why does Arun Packers & Movers not show a price list?
No two moves are the same. The amount you are moving, the distance, floor and lift access and the packing you choose all change the cost, so a fixed price list would be wrong for most people. Instead, we give each customer an exact written quote.
02How do I get the exact cost of my move?
Fill the Know Your Price form with where you are moving from and to, your home size and the main items, or call or WhatsApp us. We confirm a written quote before the move. We are open 24 hours.
03Will there be hidden charges on moving day?
No. The price in your written quote is what you pay for the work in the quote. If you add items or change addresses, tell us first and we update the quote in writing.
04Does packing cost extra?
You choose what you need: full packing and moving, or moving only where you pack yourself. Your quote shows exactly what is included.
05Does moving a bike change the cost?
Yes. A bike is an extra item to pack and load, so mention it when you ask for a price and it will be included in your quote. We confirm how it will travel when you book.
06Is the quote free?
Yes. Getting your price from Arun Packers & Movers is free and there is no obligation to book.
