Perth Removalists Hourly Rate Explained (No Hidden Fees)

Perth removalists hourly rate typically starts at $160/hr + GST for a 2-person team. At Tommy's Transport & Removals, that is exactly what we charge, with no call-out fees, no hidden extras, and no surprises on moving day.

If you have been searching for the Perth removalists hourly rate and getting vague answers, you are not alone. Most people just want a straight number before they book. We get that. Operating from our Balcatta depot, we move people right across Perth, from compact apartments in Joondalup to large family homes in the Hills. We have earned a 5-star Google rating by being upfront about what things cost and delivering on our word every single time. This post lays out everything you need to know before you pick up the phone.

Not every move is the same, and not every Perth suburb is the same either. A few things push the clock up or down on moving day.

• Distance between properties. A move from Balcatta to Stirling takes less drive time than a move from Balcatta to Byford. Travel time between properties is included in the hourly rate.
• Access and parking. Tight street access in suburbs like Mount Lawley or multi-storey apartments without a lift in Northbridge add time. Narrow driveways in older Subiaco homes do too.
• Volume of furniture. A 4-bedroom house in Canning Vale with a double garage full of gear takes longer than a 2-bedroom unit in Scarborough with minimal furniture.
• Stairs and difficult items. Extra flights of stairs, heavy items like pianos, and long carry distances from the truck to the front door all add time to the job.
• Packing assistance. If you need us to pack boxes as well as move them, factor in extra time on top of the base rate.

None of these variables are reasons to pad a quote. They are just honest factors that affect how long your move takes. We will walk you through all of them when you call for your free quote.

For a broader look at what removalists charge in 2026, our post on How Much Do Removalists Cost in Perth in 2026? covers the full picture.

Our standard rate is $160/hr + GST for a 2-person team . That rate covers the truck, the labour, the equipment, and the expertise. There is no call-out fee on top. There is no fuel levy buried in the fine print. What we quote is what you pay.

Here is how the process works when you book with us:

1. You contact us by phone or through our website and describe your move.
2. We give you a free, upfront estimate based on your home size, suburb, and any access details you share with us.
3. On moving day, our team arrives on time, works efficiently, and keeps you updated if anything changes.
4. You pay for the actual time the job takes, not an inflated estimate.

We handle everything from studio apartments to full family home relocations across Perth. If you are moving house and want to know exactly what is involved, take a look at our Perth house removals service for a full rundown of what we cover.

Every job we do is backed by our Tommy's MoveSure Guarantee , which means we show up when we say we will, handle your belongings with care, and stand behind the work we do.

Use this table as a starting guide. Every move is different, but these figures give you a realistic ballpark based on our $160/hr + GST rate for a 2-person team.

These estimates assume a standard Perth suburban move with reasonable access. Moves involving stairs, long carries, piano relocation, or cross-town distances in peak traffic may take longer. We will flag all of that upfront, not after the fact.
