Where you are going affects more than the kilometres. Here is how the three kinds of move compare.
-
Local
Inside a single city
The same crew packs, loads, drives and unloads. Here the distance counts for little compared with access: parking space for the truck, a bookable lift and the hours when the building lets goods vehicles enter.
-
Intercity
From one city to another
A long road trip calls for firmer wrapping and labelled cartons that can be ticked off on arrival. The price follows the road distance, tolls and the size of the vehicle. These moves are explained on the intercity shifting page.

Abroad
Out of the country
Packing for export, shipping and documents all enter the picture. Read international relocation first.
