Most families moving from Darwin are going to be traveling a long way — its 27 hours or so of non-stop driving to either Cairns or Townsville, so you’re likely to be taking a flight — or at least taking only one of your vehicles on the road. Our interstate vehicle transport options are used from Darwin more than most places, moving vehicles from Darwin and surrounding areas to all around the country. If you’d like to save yourself the stress of driving a few days, let your move consultant know, and we can arrange door to door safe transport for your vehicle anywhere in the country.
If you’ve got the family pet in Darwin and you’re not planning that long drive, you’ll no doubt be wondering how you can get the family dog or cat to their new home! At Whybirds, we love our pets….so we make sure they’re well taken care of. Understandably, your pets are going to be feeling unsure of whats going on, and getting stressed themselves wondering what is going on, so we have always recommended getting support from professional pet moving companies for moving your precious pets. For this reason, Whybirds only works with the very best pet moving companies in Australia, ensuring your pet is taken care of just like the family member that they are. We work closely with our pet moving partners, giving your pet a VIP treatment at rates that are very competitive. Be aware that some breeds of dogs (short snout breeds are one to be aware of) particularly don’t travel well in the heat, particularly if there are quarantine regulations in place or limited flight options making the trip longer than normal. Your Whybirds Move Consultant can discuss with you anything you need to know about pet moving services so that your pet arrives safe and sound and happy at their new home. Your interstate pet transport will go smoothly in the hands of our caring team.

What do removalists consider when quoting for my move?
Contrary to what you might hear, Removalists don’t just put a wet finger in the air and come up with a price for you, there’s a fair bit of calculation that we do behind the scenes. The two main factors are always going to be your moving origin and destination, and of course the volume of items that you need us to support you with (measured in cubic metres). Once you understand how that pricing works, its makes it easier for you to reduce your own costs as part of your move.
Apart from geography and volume, there are a few more things that matter, but those tend to be fairly bespoke for each month, and we’ll talk you through those so you understand exactly what they are, helping you reduce or eliminate those costs if you want to do so. Your move consultant can talk you through the different factors that might impact your move, making sure you get an accurate and reliable quote the first time for your peace of mind.
Anything heavy or large that you have the needs a bit more manpower to move is going to require more labour cost for any removalist, and because of that, they need to include that in their quotation. For example, Pool Tables, Pianos, or heavy garden ornaments are items that our move consultants will need to take into account in your quotation, since they often need additional manpower or equipment to move safely and securely.
Also, if our trucks are unable to park reasonably close to your home, that adds time and may need additional equipment — just let your consultant know and we’ll ensure the correct staffing and equipment is available on the day of your move. Do let the move consultant know if there is anything you think might impact your move, or specialised moving equipment might be needed for — there’s nothing worse for you or your removalist to find out on the day that additional lifting of moving equipment was needed, causing unnecessary delays and extra costs. On moving day, we’re hoping you can just sit back with a cappuccino and let our removalist team do the work for you (just make sure you make your cappuccino before our removalists pack up the coffee machine!
Darwin peak season moving demand is also something to consider as it impacts the removals industry more directly in North Territories than other locations. If you move from November to February, you’ll find that pricing increases for all removalists, and much more than in other cities. Many removals are corporate or government paid during the peak months, however, if that’s not you, and you are unable to move outside of that time due to school holidays, work related moves, or other reasons, then our very best advice is to make sure you book in as early as you can. Booking in early not only achieves the best pricing, but also reassures you that your move is booked in with quality AFRA removalist, and you won’t be looking around at the last minute for a removalist to support you days before you move. The unfortunate reality in Darwin is that if you’re looking for a removalist at the last minute in peak season, you’re going to have a huge challenge finding anyone with capacity to help you.
