How our pricing works

This is our rate list, published in full — the price list, the method behind it, and the arithmetic you can check. Rate card version 2026.08-a, effective from 2026-08-01. Every number quoted anywhere on this site comes from it.

The method

Six components, in this order

Your quote is these six lines plus tax. Nothing else exists.

  1. 01

    Transport

    Vehicle class and distance. On an intercity move the per-kilometre rate falls in slabs as distance grows, because loading labour and trip costs are fixed and long-haul kilometres are cheaper to drive.

  2. 02

    Packing material and packing

    Priced per cubic foot at the tier you choose. Volume comes from your inventory, not from the number of bedrooms.

  3. 03

    Loading and unloading

    Crew hours at both ends, sized to the volume, with a floor for small moves. A crew for a day costs the same whether the drive is 10 km or 1,000.

  4. 04

    Floor, lift and long carry

    ₹110 per floor per 100 CFT without a lift, ₹45 with one, capped at ₹4,500 per end. Long carry from the vehicle to the door is banded.

  5. 05

    Special handling

    Flat fees for items needing crating or extra crew — large televisions, glass tops, mirrors, safes, pianos, air conditioners.

  6. 06

    Insurance and GST

    Transit cover is optional and priced on declared value. GST at 18% is always shown as its own line, never folded in.

Vehicles

Vehicle rate chart and capacity

We size the vehicle from your inventory with 15% headroom, so nothing gets left behind. Rates below are per kilometre by vehicle class, before the distance taper.

Distance

Why the per-kilometre rate falls

Distance slabs and their rate multipliers
Distance slabRate multiplier
0 – 200 km×1.00
200 – 600 km×0.64
600 – 1200 km×0.46
Beyond 1200 km×0.38

A 1,500 km move does not cost five times a 300 km move. Loading and unloading labour is identical regardless of distance, the fixed costs of a trip are spread further, and long-haul kilometres are cheaper to drive.

A mover who simply multiplies a flat per-kilometre rate by the distance is either overcharging on long routes or losing money on short ones. Neither is a business you want handling your possessions in three years’ time.

Shared loads

A shared load is multiplied by 0.74 — roughly 26% cheaper — and takes the slower end of the transit window because the vehicle waits to fill.
