Getting 2-3 quotes before booking is smart. But comparing them only by the final number can be misleading. Here's how to compare properly.
Check what's included in each quote
One quote may include packing material and floor charges, while a lower one may add these later. Always ask each mover to break down what's included — packing, loading, transport, unloading, and any floor/access charges.
Compare vehicle and crew size
A cheaper quote sometimes means a smaller crew or vehicle, which can mean a longer moving day or more risk of damage from rushed handling. Ask how many people and what vehicle size is planned.
Check registration and reviews for each
A slightly higher quote from a GST-registered mover with genuine reviews is usually a safer bet than the cheapest unregistered option. Cheap quotes are sometimes a way to get the booking, with charges added later.
Ask about insurance
Compare whether insurance is offered as an option and at what cost — this affects your risk exposure, not just the visible price.
Get everything in writing
Whichever mover you choose, get the final agreed quote in writing (WhatsApp or printed) before the move — this is your protection against price changes on moving day.
