Most moving cost guides give a range so wide it is useless. This one uses real jobs booked through FLYTTE in 2026. The short version: single items usually cost $80 to $150, a small flat on an hourly rate usually $270 to $370 all up, and a full house move depends mostly on how much you have and how far it is going. For your exact price, enter your addresses: it takes about a minute.
Single items: about $80 to $150
A couch, fridge, bed, washing machine or dining table moved across Auckland typically comes to between about $80 and $150. The median single-item job in 2026 was about $113. The cheapest are short, ground-floor jobs within the same area; the dearest involve stairs, two movers, or a long cross-city run.
This is also the price range for Facebook Marketplace and Trade Me pickups, which are single-item jobs with the seller's address as the pickup.
Small moves on an hourly rate: about $270 to $370
For a room, a studio or a one-bedroom flat, an hourly move is usually best value. Across real hourly jobs, the middle half came to between about $270 and $370 in total, with a median of about $295. The total depends on the crew size, how quickly things can be loaded (stairs, lifts, parking), and the drive between addresses.
Being packed and ready before the crew arrives is the single biggest thing you can do to keep an hourly move cheap.
Full house moves
A full house move is priced on the size of the home and the distance. Larger homes and long runs can run into the low thousands, while a two-bedroom move across town costs far less. Because it depends so much on your addresses and home size, the honest answer is to enter them and see the exact figure.
What pushes the price up or down
Distance: every quote is based on your actual route, not a zone. Access: stairs, long carries and lifts take time, so enter them when booking. Crew size: heavy or awkward items may need two movers. Timing: Saturdays and month-ends are the busiest days, so mid-week slots are easier to get.
With FLYTTE there are no fuel levies or surprise add-ons on the day: the price you see is based on what you entered. A small deposit locks it in, and the balance is paid to the crew on the day.
