Truck Hire Versus MiniMovers
Save Money by Using MiniMovers instead of Hiring a Truck and Doing it Yourself
If you are organised and you do the same amount of work, in most cases, MiniMovers is clearly a better option.
By organised, we mean getting all your items out of the house BEFORE we arrive, and at the unload we just take it straight out of the truck and put it onto the ground. Send us away before we take the items into the house. How much you do is your choice.
There are costs associated with "moving it all" yourself that you may not have considered, such as total truck rental costs, picking up the truck and returning it, insurance, truck fuel, pads, moving supplies, and don't forget the gifts and meals for friends that help you move.
With all the time, stress, and money you can save, we don't think anyone should move on their own. MiniMovers have:
- Big Trucks / Small Trucks
- Home or Office
- 7 Days and Nights
- No SubContractors
- Boxes and We Buy Back
- Pianos / Pool Tables
- Only Pay for What You Use

The quotes/prices are based on:
moving the entire contents of a 3 bedroom home
hiring a small sized truck (the type that you can drive using your car licence)
using MiniMovers big truck for moving a 3 bedroom home
average move times, every 3 bedroom home takes a different amount of time to move
Which solution would you choose?
Are you fit enough to lift and move furniture for 8 hours without breaks? On average it will take you at least two days to move in the smaller rental truck. You will probably need to do more than one trip, may hurt yourself or your new housing and have to pay for any damaged furniture or holes in the wall yourself once the move has been completed.
Is that worth the tiny difference in price, to use MiniMovers? We think so!
