Estimate check: The displayed prices and delivery durations are illustrative figures, not verified current tariffs, confirmed availability or a booking guarantee. Request a written quote for your actual route, date and inventory or vehicle; confirm charges, inclusions and the proposed pickup and delivery windows before booking.
| Office Size | Staff Count (Typical) | Local Move (₹) | Intercity Move (₹) | Duration |

| Small (150–250 sq. ft) | 3–6 people | ₹12,000 – ₹20,000 | ₹22,000 – ₹38,000 | 1 day (local) / 2–3 days (intercity) |

What affects your final quote
Every family's move is unique. These factors influence your final price:
- Distance travelled: Every additional 10 km adds ₹500–1,000 for fuel and travel time.
- Volume of belongings: Measured in cubic metres (CBM). A typical 2 BHK ≈ 12–16 CBM; 3 BHK ≈ 18–24 CBM. More items = larger vehicle = higher cost.
- Packing material grade: Newspaper & cartons (Economy) vs. bubble wrap & foam (Standard) vs. custom crating & climate-controlled (Premium) add ₹2,000–8,000.
- Floor access & stairs: Ground floor (no stairs) = ₹0. 2nd floor = +₹500–1,000. 4th+ floor or restricted building access = +₹1,500–3,000. Elevators help; no elevator costs more.
- For your move, ask for the handling arrangements, service inclusions and responsibility for loss or damage in writing. Any insurance coverage must be supported by a valid policy issued by the insurer.
- Moving date & season: Peak season (April–June, November–December) adds 15–25%. Weekend moves cost 10–15% more than weekday. Off-peak discounts up to 10%.
- For your move, ask for the handling arrangements, service inclusions and responsibility for loss or damage in writing. Any insurance coverage must be supported by a valid policy issued by the insurer.
- Special requirements: AC move, humidity control, GPS tracking, dedicated team, unpacking/placement, settling-in help = ₹2,000–8,000 total.
At Gati Movers and Packers, our quote factors all these variables transparently. We've moved families, so we understand regional complexities—from monsoon-season delays in Mumbai to altitude challenges in Shimla.
unlisted fees to watch for
Some moving companies quote low, then add surprise charges. Here are common industry gotchas—and what Gati Movers avoids:
- Access charges: Narrow lanes, gated societies, basement parking, or "no-vehicle hours" (like in Defence Colony, New Delhi) may incur ₹1,000–3,000 extra. Always disclose your exact pickup/drop address.
- Staircase / floor premium: High-rise without elevator or long staircase unloads can cost ₹1,500–2,500 extra per floor. Budget accordingly if moving to a heritage building.
- Weekend surcharge: Saturday–Sunday moves charge 10–15% more. Opt for Friday/Monday if flexible.
- Peak-season multiplier: April–June, November–December see 20–30% spikes. Plan 2–3 months ahead if possible.
- Material "upgrade" mid-move: Some firms charge extra if you request better packing after loading starts. Specify upfront.
- Fragile category: Items declared "fragile" late in the process invite surprise handling charges (₹500–2,000 per category). List all breakables during quote.
- Overtime beyond 8 hours: If unloading exceeds 8 hours, hourly rates apply (₹1,500–2,500/hour). Clarify turnaround before booking.
- GST on final bill: Quotes are often pre-GST. Always confirm whether your quote includes 5% or 18% GST (applies to labour + materials, not fuel in some states).
- For your move, ask for the handling arrangements, service inclusions and responsibility for loss or damage in writing. Any insurance coverage must be supported by a valid policy issued by the insurer.
- Cancellation penalties: Cancelling within 48 hours often forfeits 50% advance. Read terms carefully.
Keep the written quote, inventory record and agreed pickup/delivery contacts together. Confirm responsibilities and the procedure for reporting any issue before booking.
How to get an accurate quote
Getting the right price starts with giving the right information. Follow these three steps:
Step 1: Provide Your Move Details
Share:
- Exact pickup address (building name, floor, pincode—e.g. Sector 5, Dwarka, 110075)
- Exact drop address (city, pincode, floor, gate restrictions)
- BHK type (1/2/3/4 BHK) and estimated volume (small, medium, large, full house)
- Move date or preferred month
- Any fragile items (heirlooms, antiques, electronics, art)
- Any special requirements (unpacking, furniture assembly, settling-in support)
Step 2: Choose Your Packing Grade
Ask yourself:
- Economy: Basic items, short distance, no fragiles? → Save ₹2,000–5,000.
- Standard: Everyday household, some breakables, 1–2 day move? → Best value, used by 70% of families.
- Premium: Heirlooms, antiques, long-distance, or 1-hour settling-in unpacking? → Worth the ₹5,000–10,000 extra for peace of mind.
Step 3: Confirm & Compare
Once you receive the quote:
- Ensure GST is shown separately in the final amount shown.
- For your move, ask for the handling arrangements, service inclusions and responsibility for loss or damage in writing. Any insurance coverage must be supported by a valid policy issued by the insurer.
- Verify no surprise charges for floor access, weekend, or peak season.
- Confirm team size and vehicle capacity match your move volume.
- Ask about post-move support (unpacking, placement, complaint redressal).

Sample budget breakdown
Here's a worked example: a family moving a 3 BHK villa from Sector 7, Dwarka (110077) to Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad (500033) with Standard packing, unpacking, and furniture placement.
Estimate check: The displayed prices and delivery durations are illustrative figures, not verified current tariffs, confirmed availability or a booking guarantee. Request a written quote for your actual route, date and inventory or vehicle; confirm charges, inclusions and the proposed pickup and delivery windows before booking.
| Line Item | Quantity / Detail | Cost (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Base move charge | 3 BHK intercity (Delhi–Hyderabad, ~1,550 km) | ₹50,000 |
| Packing materials (Standard) | Bubble wrap, foam sheets, cartons, tape (for 20 CBM) | ₹3,500 |
| Unpacking & placement | 6 hours, 2-person team, furniture arrangement in each room | Rs 4,500-8,000 |
| Floor access (pickup) | Ground floor villa, carport loading (no additional fee) | ₹0 |
| Floor access (drop) | Ground floor apartment in gated community (access fee) | ₹1,500 |
| Fragile handling (kitchen & crockery) | Special wrapper, crockery dividers | ₹1,200 |
| Transit insurance (optional) | ₹50 lakh declared value at 0.5% | ₹2,500 |
| Settling-in support (4 hours) | Unpacking kitchen, arranging bedroom, connecting utilities | Rs 4,500-8,000 |
| Subtotal | ₹68,200 | |
| GST @ 18% | (Labour & materials, not fuel) | ₹3,410 |
| Total Estimate | ₹71,610 |
Timeline: Quote to confirmation (24 hours) → Pickup & packing (1 day) → Transit (6 days) → Delivery & unpacking (1–2 days) = 8–9 days total.
Payment terms: 30% advance on booking, 70% before handover. We accept bank transfer, cheque, UPI, and corporate TDS for office moves.
If the family chooses Economy packing instead: Subtract ₹1,500 (no fragile wrapper, basic cartons only) = ₹70,110. Not recommended for a 1,550 km journey; Standard = better value.
If they skip unpacking/settling-in: Subtract ₹9,500 (unpacking + settling-in) = ₹62,110. Family would unpack themselves, but we'd deliver all items neatly stacked in rooms.
