Frequently Asked Questions

I live in Mylapore. Will a moving truck even fit down my street?toggle icon
Maybe not. The older parts of Mylapore and Triplicane have tight lanes, so the truck may park on the main road while the crew carries things out. In T Nagar, Velachery and West Mambalam, the bigger problem is parking rules, which can slow down loading.
Why do movers take my cot apart in Saidapet?toggle icon
Many older buildings in Saidapet and West Mambalam have narrow staircases. A wardrobe or double cot often won’t make the turn in one piece, so it’s taken apart and put back together at your new place.
Is October a bad month to move in Chennai?toggle icon
It’s the start of the northeast monsoon, which runs until December, so rain delays are more likely. Chennai’s humidity means good movers use moisture-resistant wrapping all year anyway.
How long is the road trip from Chennai to Bangalore?toggle icon
Usually 8-12 hours. If the truck leaves on a Friday evening, the jam around Hosur Road and Electronic City can push it to 12-15. Hyderabad is roughly 11-14 hours away, Mumbai 26-32 and Delhi 40-48.
