Other factors that influence cost
While the cost per cubic meter of space is a large factor in calculating costs for an interstate move, there are other factors that can play a role, too. These include:
- Access to your properties and how far away the truck needs to park from your front door
- Seasonality; the busiest (and most expensive) time of the year to move interstate is between November and February
- Heavy items like pool tables and pianos
- Specialist equipment needed like a balcony lift
You can potentially save money when moving interstate by utilising backloading. This will require you to be flexible on dates, but if your items can fit inside a truck that is already travelling, you can end up getting a much cheaper price.
