| Move Type | Distance / Scale | Typical Price Range (₹) | Timeline |

Prices vary based on packing material grade, floor accessibility, moving date (peak season costs 15–25% more), and whether you need unpacking or furniture placement at the destination. At Gati Movers and Packers, we offer transparent quotes.
Local move pricing by BHK
Local moves—within the same metro or nearby cities—are priced per trip, vehicle size, and packing grade. In Delhi NCR (covering areas like Dwarka, Indirapuram, Faridabad), distances rarely exceed 25 km. Here's a breakdown:
1 BHK (Studio / 1-bedroom flat)
| Packing Grade | Estimated Cost (₹) | What's Included | What's Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy (Basic) | ₹6,000 – ₹10,000 | Loading, transit, unloading. Newspaper & cartons provided. | Fragile wrapper (₹500–1,000), furniture padding, unpacking (₹2,000–3,000) |
| Standard (Recommended) | ₹9,000 – ₹13,000 | Loading, transit, unloading. Bubble wrap, foam sheets, cartons, tape. | Furniture assembly (₹1,500–2,500), settling-in support (₹3,000–5,000) |

Example: A 1 BHK move in Sector 5, Faridabad (pincode 121001) to Sector 7 Noida (pincode 201301) typically costs ₹10,000–12,000 with Standard packing because both are ~15 km apart.
2 BHK (2-bedroom flat or house)
| Packing Grade | Estimated Cost (₹) | What's Included | What's Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy (Basic) | ₹8,000 – ₹12,500 | Loading, transit, unloading. Basic cartons & packing. | Fragile wrapper, unpacking, furniture placement (₹2,500–4,000) |

| Premium (With Unpacking) | ₹16,000 – ₹25,000 | White-glove handling, custom crating, unpacking, furniture placement, 1-hour settling support. | Kitchen setup, décor placement, assembly of built-ins |
A 2 BHK from South Delhi (Sector 10, Dwarka, pincode 110075) to East Delhi (Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, pincode 201014) with Standard packing typically ranges ₹13,000–16,000 due to ~18 km distance and moderate traffic congestion.
3 BHK (3-bedroom home or villa)
| Packing Grade | Estimated Cost (₹) | What's Included | What's Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy (Basic) | ₹11,000 – ₹16,000 | Loading, transit, unloading. Basic supplies. | Fragile care, unpacking, placement (₹3,500–6,000) |
| Standard (Recommended) | ₹14,500 – ₹22,000 | Complete packing supplies, loading, transit, unloading, protective padding on furniture. | Full unpacking (₹5,000–7,000), assembly (₹3,000–5,000), décor setup |

A 3 BHK villa move within Gurgaon (from Golf Course Road to DLF Phase 5) with Standard packing averages ₹18,000–20,500 because distances are 15–20 km, but larger volume and stairs may add ₹2,000–3,000.
Intercity move pricing
Intercity moves span ≥100 km and require multi-day transit. Prices scale by distance, vehicle size, and packing method. Popular routes from Delhi NCR show these ranges in 2026:
| Route (Approximate Distance) | 2 BHK Cost (₹) | 3 BHK Cost (₹) | Typical Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi → Jaipur (~280 km) | ₹14,000 – ₹26,000 | ₹22,000 – ₹38,000 | 2–3 days | Highway route; moderate traffic. Peak season (May–Jun) add ₹3,000–5,000. |
| Delhi → Pune (~1,400 km) | ₹28,000 – ₹45,000 | ₹42,000 – ₹70,000 | 5–7 days | Long haul. Overnight transit required. Insurance recommended (3% of declared value). |
| Delhi → Bangalore (~2,000 km) | ₹35,000 – ₹55,000 | ₹55,000 – ₹85,000 | 6–8 days | Multi-state move. Requires inter-state permit. Professional packing essential. |

| Delhi → Hyderabad (~1,550 km) | ₹32,000 – ₹50,000 | ₹50,000 – ₹78,000 | 5–7 days | South route. Climate variation; fragile items need moisture protection. |
| Bangalore → Mumbai (~350 km) | ₹18,000 – ₹32,000 | ₹28,000 – ₹45,000 | 2–3 days | Shorter metro-to-metro. Faster turnaround; lower transit cost. |
Seasonal pricing: Peak season (April–June, November–December) adds 15–25% to all intercity quotes. Off-season (July–October, January–February) may offer 5–10% discounts if you're flexible on dates. All Gati Movers and Packers intercity moves include transit insurance.
Vehicle transport pricing
Transporting cars, bikes, or scooters across cities requires specialized carriers and routing. Here's what families typically pay:
Car Transport
| Distance | Open Carrier (₹) | Closed Carrier (₹) | Duration | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 500 km (e.g. Delhi–Jaipur) | ₹8,000 – ₹14,000 | ₹12,000 – ₹20,000 | 1–2 days | Sedans, hatchbacks. Open cheaper; closed protects from dust. |
| 500–1,000 km (e.g. Delhi–Chandigarh–Shimla route) | ₹14,000 – ₹24,000 | ₹20,000 – ₹35,000 | 2–3 days | Hill routes advised closed carrier for safety. |
| 1,000–1,500 km (e.g. Delhi–Mumbai) | ₹20,000 – ₹35,000 | ₹28,000 – ₹50,000 | 4–5 days | Long haul. Closed recommended for luxury vehicles. |
| 1,500+ km (e.g. Delhi–Bangalore or Delhi–Chennai) | ₹28,000 – ₹48,000 | ₹40,000 – ₹70,000 | 6–8 days | Premium SUVs, executive sedans. Closed carrier ensures condition. |
Bike / Scooter Transport
| Distance | Cost (₹) | Duration | Packing Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 500 km | ₹4,000 – ₹8,000 | 1–2 days | Crate or wooden box with foam padding. |
| 500–1,000 km | ₹8,000 – ₹14,000 | 2–4 days | Hardwood crate, bubble wrap, lock protection. |
| 1,000+ km | ₹14,000 – ₹22,000 | 5–7 days | Full custom crate, insurance, GPS tracking included. |
A family in Ghaziabad (pincode 201001) transporting a Maruti Swift to Hyderabad (≈1,700 km) via closed carrier would budget ₹38,000–48,000 including GST and transit insurance.
Office relocation pricing
Corporate moves differ from family moves because of deadlines, equipment sensitivity, and documentation. Office moves are priced by floor area, floor access, and whether it's full fit-out or partial:
| 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) |
| Medium (500–1,000 sq. ft) | 8–15 people | ₹22,000 – ₹38,000 | ₹42,000 – ₹70,000 | 1–2 days (local) / 3–5 days (intercity) |
| Large (1,500–2,500 sq. ft) | 20–40 people | ₹40,000 – ₹70,000 | ₹75,000 – ₹1,20,000 | 2–3 days (local) / 5–7 days (intercity) |
| Enterprise (3,000+ sq. ft) | 50+ people | ₹80,000 – ₹1,50,000 | ₹1,40,000 – ₹2,50,000 | 3–5 days (local) / 7–10 days (intercity) |
Office moves typically include: IT asset labeling, workstation inventory tracking, safe handling of servers/printers, document digitization support (if needed), and post-move setup assistance. A tech startup in Sector 5, Noida (pincode 201301) relocating 800 sq. ft to Gurugram (DLF Cyber Hub, ~25 km) would budget ₹28,000–36,000 for 1–2 day turnaround with zero downtime.
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.
- Fragile items & antiques: Heirlooms, pianos, art, chandeliers require custom crating, insurance, and white-glove handling. Add ₹3,000–10,000 depending on count & value.
- 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%.
- Transit insurance: Optional. Covers belongings at ₹3% of declared value. Standard ≈ ₹1,000–2,500 per move; valuable items (declared > ₹5 lakh) = ₹2,500–5,000.
- 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 since 2010, so we understand regional complexities—from monsoon-season delays in Mumbai to altitude challenges in Shimla.
Hidden 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).
- Insurance declared value shortfall: If your declared value is ₹10 lakh but you claim ₹15 lakh damage, the difference won't be covered. Be honest about item values.
- Cancellation penalties: Cancelling within 48 hours often forfeits 50% advance. Read terms carefully.

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.
- Check if insurance is bundled or optional (we recommend ₹1,500–2,500 transit cover).
- 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.
| 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.

How much do packers and movers charge for a 1 BHK move in Delhi NCR?
A local 1 BHK move within Delhi NCR (e.g., from Dwarka to Sector 12, Noida) typically costs ₹4,500–₹7,500 depending on packing complexity and floor height. Long-distance (Delhi to Bangalore, 2,200 km) ranges ₹18,000–₹28,000 with Gati's pricing. Insurance and GST add 5–12% extra.
How many days before moving should I book with a moving company?
Book 7–14 days ahead for local moves and 21+ days for intercity shifts. Peak season (May–June, November–December) requires 30 days' notice. We hold your date with a 10% advance deposit; balance is due before shifting begins. Gati families often pre-book during office transfers.
Do you offer moving insurance—what's the coverage and claim timeline?
Yes, we provide transit insurance covering 3% of declared value as standard. Full-value coverage (98% protection) costs an additional ₹500–₹2,000 depending on total goods value. Claims are processed within 15–30 days with photo evidence and inventory receipts from our movers.
What packing materials and methods does Gati use?
We use corrugated boxes, foam sheets, bubble wrap, and wood crates for heirlooms and antiques. Each item is hand-packed and labeled with a unique barcode. Fragile goods are individually wrapped. Our method takes 1–2 extra hours but ensures zero breakage—families trust this approach.
Are GST and tolls included in your quoted price?
No. GST (18%) is added separately to the labor and packing charges. Highway tolls, parking, and statuary permits are billed at actuals with receipts. For example, a ₹10,000 move becomes ₹11,800 after GST. We provide a detailed breakup before you confirm.
