Geelong Removalists

Local and interstate moves from Corio Bay to the Bellarine, priced by the hour.

Geelong waterfront and Corio Bay

Moving in a city that keeps growing

Geelong sits 75 kilometres south-west of Melbourne at the western end of Corio Bay, and the city has grown well past its waterfront core. A move in Newtown or Chilwell means narrow streets lined with Victorian workers’ cottages and steep front steps. Out at Armstrong Creek and the new estates south of Waurn Ponds, the roads are wide but builds come in stages and a driveway may not be finished yet. Our Geelong removalists quote each job by the hour once we know both addresses and the access at each end.

A supervisor leads each move and sets the loading plan. Beds and dining tables come apart at the old house and go back together at the new address as part of the job. Local rates start from $75 per half hour for a two-person crew and a 20 cubic metre truck, and the full list by truck size is on our removalist prices page.

Waterfront terraces, new estates and the Bellarine

The Geelong waterfront and the streets climbing the hill behind it toward Highton and Belmont have their own access problems. Terrace houses along Pakington Street sit right on the footpath, so the truck parks on the road and the crew carries across it. Houses in Highton and Wandana Heights sit on ridges above the Barwon River, with long driveways and tight turning circles.

On the Bellarine Peninsula, moves to Queenscliff, Drysdale or Ocean Grove mean a longer drive from Geelong proper, and we build that into the quote. Some of the older beach houses sit on sandy blocks with limited truck access, and we plan the carry around that.

The Princes Freeway and interstate loads

The Princes Freeway connects Geelong straight back to Melbourne, and from there the M80 reaches the Hume for Sydney and Canberra. A household leaving Belmont for Sydney can share a truck with another Melbourne-area load and pay only for the space its furniture takes up, or book a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day. Furniture is wrapped in blankets and plastic and strapped inside the truck for the motorway trip, and the move is covered by our public liability and transit insurance.

A packing team can handle the wardrobes and kitchen the day before. We supply the boxes, paper and tape and label every carton by room.

Storage when the timing slips

When the gap between keys does not line up, we collect your load and keep it in our climate-controlled storage facility, watched around the clock, and deliver once you are ready. That could be a few days between settlements or several months while a renovation runs. Piano, pool table, fridge and other single-item moves are priced separately since they need extra hands and the right gear.

Your Geelong quote

For a local move within Geelong, send us both addresses, the rooms and any large items. For a Bellarine job, include any sandy-block or narrow-lane access. We come back with a price that accounts for the travel and the carry. The quote is free and obligation-free, and you can test the volume yourself with the calculator below.

The fewer hours the crew is on the clock, the lower the bill. Boxes packed the night before, furniture cleared away from walls and a parking spot out front all speed up loading. Call 1300 724 553 or fill in the contact form.

How we run a Geelong move

Trained crews, supervised on site

Every crew is trained by us and led by a supervisor who sets the loading plan and checks every room before the truck leaves.

Hourly rates with no guesswork

The rate follows the truck size and crew your job needs. We quote after checking the access so you know the price before booking.

Furniture taken apart and rebuilt

Beds, dining tables and bulky flat-packs are dismantled at the old place and put back together at the new one as part of the job.

Trucks in several sizes

We send the truck your street and your load actually need so you do not pay for empty space or a return trip.

Geelong removals questions

How do you handle a terrace house on Pakington Street where there is no driveway?

The truck parks on the street and the crew carries across the footpath. We check the parking and the distance before quoting so the time is accounted for. If the house has rear lane access we can use that instead.

Do you move to the Bellarine Peninsula from Geelong?

Yes. Queenscliff, Drysdale, Ocean Grove and the other Bellarine towns are within our local area. The driving time is built into the quote, and we plan for sandy blocks and older beach houses where truck access is tight.

Can you move to a new estate at Armstrong Creek where the roads are still being finished?

Yes. We work on new estates around Armstrong Creek and south of Waurn Ponds regularly. If the driveway or road is unsealed, we check conditions before the day and plan around them. The crew brings boards to protect new landscaping when needed.

Can you move us from Geelong to Melbourne or interstate?

Yes. The Princes Freeway connects Geelong to Melbourne in about an hour by truck. For interstate moves to Sydney, Canberra or Brisbane, the load goes via Melbourne and picks up the Hume. You can take a dedicated truck or share space and pay for the room your furniture uses.

Do you store furniture if the new house is not ready yet?

Yes. We hold your goods in our climate-controlled storage facility with 24/7 surveillance and deliver when you have the keys. That covers a gap of a few days between settlements or several months while you build or renovate.

Can you move a piano or pool table in Geelong?

We move pianos, pool tables, fridges and other single heavy items. Each is priced separately because they need extra hands and the right gear.

Jordan and Dimo were very friendly and helpful. They did not just come in and dump the furniture; they treated it with care and assisted me in deciding on the best layout for the room. They provided the best removalist service I have ever had. I will definitely call on them again and recommend them to others. Thanks, guys; it’s much appreciated!
