WHERE THIS COVERS

Hawke’s Bay, town by town

Napier
Hastings
Havelock North
Te Awanga
Waipukurau
Say the town in your request. NovaPay asks businesses working near it first rather than the whole region, so the quotes you get back are from people who will actually come.
WHAT IT USUALLY COSTS

$80 to $150 an hour

Typical New Zealand rates for a truck and two movers. Most quote by the hour with a minimum, so access matters as much as volume: stairs, a long carry from the truck and a narrow driveway all add time.
That is a New Zealand-wide range. What you are quoted in Hawke’s Bay depends on the job and on how far somebody has to travel to it, which is why the quotes come back priced for your job rather than as a rate card.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do Napier and Hastings businesses cover both?
Most do — it is a twenty-minute drive and the two run as one market. Central Hawke’s Bay is further and a small job there may carry a travel charge, which the quote states.
How much does it cost to move house in NZ?
It moves with volume, access and distance far more than with the size of the house on paper. A two-bedroom flat with lift access and a two-bedroom villa up a flight of steps are different jobs. Say what the access is like and the quotes come back realistic.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three weeks in normal times, and longer at the end of the month and over summer, when most tenancies turn over. Give a couple of possible dates and you will get more options.
Is my stuff insured while it is on the truck?
Not automatically, and this is the question people forget. Ask what cover is included and what it excludes, then check whether your contents insurance covers a move.
Should I pack myself?
Packing yourself saves money and costs time. Many people pack the boxes and pay the movers for the awkward things: the wardrobe, the artwork, the kitchen. Ask for it quoted both ways.
