Generally, when moving home within the Melbourne CBD area, you’ll find that the hourly rate will best suit your needs. This is mainly due to being charged for the time that the local Melbourne removal team take to perform your removal job. With Transcorp’s door to door rates, you’ll be charged to the nearest 15 minutes (after the minimum charge of 2 men for 2 hrs). This option means you pay for your moving time only.

With Transcorp local removals, you are quite literally paying for the removal time spent in performing your move without adding additional costs at the end of your Melbourne removal, such as depot, return or call out fees.

Provided that you have supplied the correct address and access details together with an accurate inventory of what needs to be relocated then at the time of quoting or booking with us, you may request an ‘expected’ charge based on the hourly rate. This will give you a fair indication of your moving budget. You can also view our “Estimate Tool” to get a Melbourne removalists quote online.

If you prefer a ‘fixed moving price’ so that you clearly understand your moving costs with no added moving charges, it’s possible to either request an on-site inspection in Melbourne by a qualified Transcorp moving representative or you can request the same over the phone. Just keep in mind that a fixed moving price may be slightly higher to cover for worst case scenarios such as parking issues.

A fixed price is generally the preferred method when a third party is paying for the move, i.e. a corporate or insurance move that requires a fixed price for internal purposes. It is also popular for clients who prefer to know their Melbourne move is fixed with no additional removal charges.

An hourly rate will in most cases be a slightly cheaper moving method, but we also understand and offer the fixed price moving method on a regular basis too. Please call our sales representative to discuss your individual circumstance and we can better advise you of the recommended moving solution if you decide to move with us.

Our Insurance accredited sales staff can offer comprehensive removal/storage insurance in the case of unforeseen accidents (fire, theft, transit damage, etc.) for damages that are out of our control and deemed ‘accidental’. We are able provide a certificate of insurance with you the nominated policy holder in case of a claim when moving and/or storing your contents whilst in our possession.

Important: If a removal company offers insurance on damages as part of their hourly rate or fixed price but can’t offer you a policy in your name, then they are not insuring your goods but rather offering ‘assurance’, which is only a promise they may make good on if goods are damaged during their move. Typically, their long terms and conditions (ask to see them) will aim to void claims with numerous conditions attached. They can make the process of dealing with damaged goods very long and arduous in the hope you do not follow through with your claim against them. Consider insurance carefully, as moving home is not a regular occurrence.

Transcorp’s qualified estimators (internal and external) can directly quote and arrange your insurance without the need to go through a broker or insurance agent. Check out our great insurance rates.
