Auckland's Friendly, Family-Run Intercity Movers
Moving to another city is a bigger job than a move across town, requires more planning, and generally more that can go wrong. Our job is to make a long-distance move feel as simple as a local one: one quote, one team you can talk to, and your furniture arriving at the other end in the same condition it left.
If you’re heading down the line to Wellington, across Cook Strait to Christchurch, or moving into Auckland from somewhere else in the country, we’ll sort the logistics and give you a clear, fixed price before you commit.
The Intercity Moves We Run
North Island Moves
Auckland to Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupō, Napier, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Wellington and every town between. Most North Island intercity moves can be loaded, driven and delivered quickly, often within a day or two – so you’re not waiting around in an empty house.
South Island & Inter-Island Moves
Moving across Cook Strait? We run regular intercity moves to Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin, Queenstown and beyond. We handle the ferry side of things and the timing, so the inter-island leg is one less thing for you to organise.
Dedicated Truck Moves
Your belongings and nothing else, loaded once in Auckland and driven straight to your new address. It’s the fastest option and the same crew handles both ends, ideal for whole-home moves and tighter timeframes.
Why Kiwis Trust Us With Their Intercity Move
One fixed price for the whole trip
We quote your route as a single, fixed price and confirm it in writing, based on how much you're moving and how far it's going. No vague hourly estimates that balloon, and no surprise fees waiting at the other end.
One team, start to finish
On a dedicated move, the crew that wraps and loads your home in Auckland is the crew that unloads it at your new place. No depot transfers where boxes get lost and furniture gets knocked around between handlers.
Packed to survive the distance
Long-distance loads get extra care: everything wrapped, padded and properly restrained so nothing shifts over hundreds of kilometres of motorway. Careful handling is the plan; full goods-in-transit insurance is the backup.
Real people, seven days a week
Moving cities is stressful enough without chasing voicemails. We answer the phone 7 days, keep you posted on ETA while your gear is on the road, and you deal directly with us the whole way, not a call centre.
How Your Intercity Move Works
Tell us what's moving and where
Fill in the 60-second form or call 027 77 SWIFT. Let us know your pickup and delivery cities, your ideal dates, and roughly how much you're moving, a quick room-by-room list or a few photos of the big items is perfect.
Get your fixed price and lock in dates
We'll come back with a clear, fixed price for your route and help you choose between a dedicated truck or a shared load. Happy? We confirm it in writing and book your pickup and delivery windows.
We move you, city to city
The crew arrives on time, protects your home and belongings, and does the heavy lifting at the Auckland end. Your gear is transported securely with ETA updates along the way, then unloaded and set up room by room at your new place.
Every intercity move includes: professional movers at the loading end, a suitable truck for the trip, fuel, moving blankets, shrink wrap, straps and trolleys, careful load restraint for transit, basic disassembly and reassembly of beds and tables, and goods-in-transit insurance.
Boxes and packing materials are supplied at cost, we make our living moving you, not marking up cardboard. Need a hand packing - let us know!
Your Intercity Moving Checklist
A long-distance move rewards a bit of forward planning. Here's the short version of what to sort, and roughly when.
4 – 6 weeks out
- Book your movers early, intercity slots and preferred dates fill first, especially over summer (Nov–Feb) and at month-end.
- Decide whether you want a dedicated truck or a shared load, and confirm rough dates with us.
- Start decluttering room by room, the less you take, the less it costs, so sell, donate or recycle anything not making the trip.
- Order boxes and begin packing things you won't need before moving day.
2 – 3 weeks out
- Submit a change of address with NZ Post and update your bank, insurer, doctor, IRD, schools and subscriptions.
- Arrange power, internet and gas to switch on at the new place and off at the old one.
- For South Island moves, lock in ferry-sensitive dates early.
- Confirm your final inventory, pickup and delivery windows with us, and label every box by room.
Moving day & transit
- Pack a "transit essentials" bag you keep with you: documents, chargers, medication, a change of clothes and small valuables.
- Make sure we have clear access and parking at both ends (lifts, gates, loading zones).
- Confirm the delivery window and a contact number for the other end.
- Keep your phone handy, we'll update you on ETA while your gear is on the road.

Intercity moving
questions?
New Zealand intercity moving - answeredIt depends on how much you're moving, how far it's going, and whether you want a dedicated truck or a shared load. We quote intercity moves as one fixed price for the whole trip, confirmed in writing. Send us your inventory and your two cities for an exact figure.
Local Auckland moves are charged by the hour ($110/hr for two movers and a truck, plus a flat $50 callout). Intercity moves are quoted as a single fixed price for the trip, based on volume and distance — so you know the total before you book, not after.
Yes. We run regular moves across Cook Strait to Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin, Queenstown and beyond, and we handle the ferry bookings and timing as part of the job.
A dedicated truck carries your belongings only, straight from your old door to your new one, it's the fastest option. A shared load (or backload) shares truck space with other moves heading the same way, which costs less but needs a bit more flexibility on dates.
North Island routes are often same-day or within a couple of days on a dedicated truck. Shared loads depend on the schedule, and South Island moves add the ferry crossing. We confirm your delivery window when you book.
Yes. We carry goods-in-transit and public liability insurance on every move, and long-distance loads are wrapped, padded and properly restrained for the journey. If anything's ever damaged, you deal directly with us.
Absolutely. We supply boxes and materials at cost (no markup), and our packing service can do anything from a few fragile items the day before to your whole house packed, moved and unpacked.
Both. We move people from Auckland out to the rest of the country, and bring people into Auckland from cities all over New Zealand.
For intercity moves, 3–4 weeks ahead is ideal, and more for summer, month-end and South Island ferry dates, those go first. If your dates are flexible, a shared load can sometimes be arranged sooner.
Yes, just let us know when you get in touch and we'll provide a WINZ quote for your move.
