Movers R Us handle Whittlesea's diverse property types — from the township centre to long-driveway acreage blocks. We check every access point before moving day. From $50/half hr — fixed price.
Whittlesea has a different character from every other suburb in Melbourne's north. The township centre (around Whittlesea Town Centre and the Showground) has standard residential homes. But a significant portion of Whittlesea properties are on 1–10 acre rural lots — with long driveways, large gates, substantial outdoor living areas, and furniture volumes that require our 9-ton truck.
We always ask about your driveway and access before a Whittlesea move. Gravel driveways, single-lane farm tracks, and large automated gates are all things we plan around — not discover on the day.
Epping Road is the main route into Whittlesea. We time our departure to arrive before peak-hour traffic builds on this road — typically aiming for a 7am start for Whittlesea jobs to keep the whole day efficient.
All prices include 2 professional removalists, truck, blankets, and straps. Minimum charges and call-out fee apply. Travel time included in quote.
Removalists in Whittlesea cost from $50 per half hour for a 4.5-ton truck with 2 men. Due to Whittlesea's distance (~35km from our base in Melbourne's north), travel time is factored into the quote. Township homes typically cost $300–$600 for a 3-bedroom move. Acreage properties with larger volumes of furniture run $800–$2,000+ depending on home size and access.

Yes. Many of Whittlesea's properties are on 1–10 acre rural blocks with long gravel driveways, large gates, and significant furniture volumes. We check gate widths and driveway conditions before moving day. For acreage moves, we always use our 9-ton truck ($75/half hr) and recommend booking a longer window — rural moves consistently take longer than estate moves due to distance and access. Tell us your driveway length and any gate dimensions when you call.
Our trucks operate on unsealed roads — gravel, compacted dirt, and rural tracks are all fine provided the surface is stable and not waterlogged. If you have a very long driveway (500m+) or a particularly steep access road, tell us when you call and we'll discuss the best approach. In some cases, a relay system (truck to driveway edge, trolleys to the door) works better for very tight access.
For standard 3-bedroom township homes in Whittlesea, our 4.5-ton or 6-ton truck is sufficient. For 4–5 bedroom homes, we use the 8-ton or 9-ton truck. For acreage properties where you're also moving outdoor/rural furniture, garden equipment, or large items like chest freezers, ride-on mowers, or sheds contents — our 9-ton ($75/half hr) is the right choice. We recommend truck size when you call.
Yes. We work 7 days a week at no weekend surcharge. For Whittlesea, we particularly recommend early-morning bookings (7–8am start) to minimise Epping Road peak-hour travel time and maximise your working day. Weekends are popular — book at least 1–2 weeks ahead.
For mid-week moves, 5–7 days is usually enough. For weekends and for acreage properties requiring specific planning (access check, truck size confirmation), 2 weeks ahead is recommended. If you're moving at short notice, call us — we sometimes have availability for Whittlesea moves with 2–3 days notice for smaller loads.
