Melbourne to Adelaide Interstate Removalists

Reliable Furniture Movers on the Western Hwy (M8/A8) via Horsham, Bordertown & Tailem Bend

Moving home from Melbourne to Adelaide is a 725–760 km interstate line-haul typically travelling the Western Freeway/Highway (M8/A8) and Dukes Highway (A8) through Bacchus Marsh → Ballan → Ararat → Horsham → Bordertown → Keith → Tailem Bend before entering the Adelaide metro. We operate regular services on this corridor, offering both backloading (share space, lower cost) and dedicated trucks (fixed schedules, full loads) with trained crews, careful wrapping, and clear communication from quote to delivery.

Melbourne to Adelaide Moving Costs & How to Save

Pricing is driven by volume (m³), access (stairs, lift bookings, distance to parking), service type (backload vs dedicated), and timing/seasonality. Approximate volume guide:

  • 1–2 bedroom unit: ~8–12 m³ (efficiently packed).
  • 3 bedroom home: ~18–28 m³ depending on garage/outdoor items.
  • 4+ bedroom home: ~28–40+ m³.

Ways to cut cost: choose a backload if dates are flexible, declutter early, DIY pack non-fragiles, and reserve access/parking to reduce handling time.

Packing for a 750 km Line-haul: DIY Tips or Professional Pre-Packing

Interstate bumps and long hours reward good packing. We can pre-pack fragile areas (kitchen, glass, art), or you can DIY with quality cartons and labels. Aim for:

  • Room-by-room labelling (Room – Contents – Fragile/Heavy) and “Unload First” boxes for first-night essentials.
  • Plates vertical, glasses individually wrapped, voids filled to prevent crush; heavy low, light high.
  • Disassemble beds/tables ahead of time; tape hardware in a zip-bag to the item.

See our guide: Packing Tips & Advice.

Route, Timing & Delivery Windows (Melbourne → Adelaide)

Line-haul driving time is typically ~8–9 hours excluding breaks and load/unload. Most household moves are planned as load day + line-haul + delivery window (depending on service mode, access, and traffic conditions). We’ll confirm a delivery window and call ahead on approach.

Access: Melbourne Origin & Adelaide Destination

Melbourne origin examples: CBD, Docklands, Southbank, St Kilda, Richmond, Hawthorn, Brunswick, Footscray, Werribee, Dandenong, Frankston. High-rise origins usually require lift bookings and loading dock windows—please check your building manager. Street-parking permits may be needed in inner-suburbs.

Adelaide delivery examples: Adelaide CBD, Norwood, Prospect, Unley, Glenelg, Henley Beach, Semaphore, Goodwood, Burnside, Campbelltown. Narrow lanes or long carry distances? Tell us early so we can select a suitable truck or arrange a shuttle.

What We Move (and What We Don’t)

  • Yes: Household furniture, white goods, electronics, outdoor settings, boxed garage items, securely packed fragile goods.
  • Ask us first: Pianos, pool tables, gym equipment, aquariums, large artwork (special gear may be required).
  • No: Dangerous goods (fuel, gas bottles, certain chemicals/aerosols). We’ll advise safe alternatives.
