Top Moving to Storage related questions

Prices vary across Australia, but most people pay around $70–$150 per hour for a removalist, depending on how much you’re moving, the distance to the storage companies, and whether packing is included.

International relocation costs depend heavily on the country you’re moving from, the volume of your belongings, and whether you need door-to-door service. On average, shipping a full household to Australia can range from $6,000 to $15,000+, with additional fees for customs, insurance, and quarantine inspections.

Yes, most Australian removalists can transport and unload your belongings directly into your chosen storage centre. Just make sure you provide convenient access details, hours of operation, and any gate codes beforehand.

Storage units can be a solid investment in areas with high population density or limited housing space. Demand for flexible storage solutions continues to grow, but like any investment, returns depend on storage requirements, location, occupancy rates, management costs, and how much space you're targeting.

The monthly cost depends on the size of the unit and whether you choose standard or climate-controlled long term storage. Generally, Aussies pay between $120 and $350 per month, with metro areas like Sydney and Melbourne sitting at the higher end.

Look for removalists with verified Airtasker profiles, real customer reviews, transparent quotes, and clear communication. Be wary of operators who demand large upfront payments, refuse to provide written details, or have no online presence.

Most packers and removalists won’t handle hazardous goods, flammables, gas bottles, perishable food, chemicals, or anything restricted under Australian transport regulations. Always check with your Tasker and your storage facility’s guidelines before the moving day.

What does a moving to storage service include?

Moving and storage services in Australia usually combine packing, loading, transport, and coordination to help you transition your belongings into a storage container unit with ease. 

Whether you’re looking for flexible storage solutions during a renovation, shifting items between storage facilities, or hiring someone to store your stuff for a short stint between homes, Airtasker connects you with storage removalists who can handle the heavy lifting and keep the whole process running smoothly. For other moving support, check out Airtasker’s main removals services.

Here’s what’s typically included when booking a moving to storage service on Airtasker:

Packing and preparation for storage

If you need help getting your items ready for storage, you can request packing and preparation support when posting your task. This may include wrapping fragile items, organising boxes by room, disassembling furniture, and labeling cartons so they’re easy to find later. 

If you prefer to prepare everything on your own, your storage removalist can jump straight to loading. But for many customers, having a helping hand with packing makes a world of difference, especially when moving houses.

Loading your items safely

Once everything’s boxed up, your storage removalist will handle the heavy lifting. They’ll load your household goods, appliances, furniture, and storage totes into their vehicle with care. Whether you’re moving from one storage unit to another or transporting items from home into a self-storage facility, your Tasker will ensure your belongings are safely placed and evenly secured, so you're stress-free from A to B.

Transport to your storage unit

After loading up, your storage removalist will transport your items to the storage facility of your choice. They’re familiar with common storage simple site layouts and access rules, which help keep everything running smoothly. They’ll coordinate with you regarding gate codes, unit numbers, and any time restrictions. For those with storage options which are close to home, some man with a van removalists offer small van or moving truck options to keep costs low.

Unloading and organising your storage unit

Once they arrive, your storage removalist can unload everything directly into your storage unit. They can also help you organise your items inside the space so you can easily access what you need later. If you’re setting aside seasonal items or storing business inventory, a bit of extra organisation goes a long way. 

Additional services

Depending on the Tasker you choose, you might also get help wrapping furniture, discarding old packing materials, or reorganizing an existing unit. You can also ask for help taking items to donation centres or transporting unwanted goods to a recycling facility. Just specify any add-ons you need when posting your task so your Tasker can plan accordingly.

Move 3 bedroom house in Ashburton to Storage Unit in Clayton South

$700

Ashburton VIC, Australia

5th Jan 2026

I need experienced removalists with a large truck to move the contents of a 3-bedroom home in Ashburton to a storage unit in Clayton South on Tuesday 27 January 2026. This should be a straightforward job due to very easy access at both ends. There’s two of us to also help. Pickup (Ashburton) - Single level home, no steps - Truck can reverse park on the driveway with easy access to the front door - Piano needs to be moved but it will already be on the driveway outside the house at garage. Drop-off (Clayton South storage facility) - Easy truck access with 5.4m clearance height - Truck can be parked directly in front of the storage unit - Literally 0 metres between the truck opening and the storage unit entrance. Storage unit is huge (9m x 7.5m) so furniture can be easily unloaded onto the ground inside without needing to be stacked. Items to move - Standard household furniture and boxes (disassembled where possible) - One 55” and one 75” TV that need careful handling and secure transport - Piano (already outside at pickup) You must provide - Large truck - 2 removalists (or more if you prefer) - Trolleys/dollies, blankets/padding, straps/tie-downs - Ability to protect and secure TVs properly during transport When quoting, please include - All-inclusive fixed price (including travel/callouts/breaks/etc). - Number of movers - Truck size/type - Your commitment and preferred start time / availability window on 27 Jan - Estimated time to complete the job I am not interested in any hidden costs so please provide an all-inclusive price. If you charge by the hour (not preferred) then time starts when you first arrive to when you are done unloading at the other end, paying for breaks is not included. Travel time is maximum 15-20 mins between pickup and unloading locations (there are no tolls) so please consider that in your estimate. I’m looking for a fair, competitive price given the access is very easy, especially the zero-carry unload at the storage unit. Pickup location: Ashburton VIC, Australia Drop-off location: Clayton South VIC, Australia Removals size: House Stairs: No

Well done moving my home!
