Packers and Movers Charges in India: Local, Intercity, Per Km and City-Wise Prices

Planning a move is easier when you know what to budget for. Packers and movers charges depend on your home size, the distance between locations, the number of items, packing requirements and access to both properties. This guide brings together NoBroker’s 16 packers and movers cost guides to help compare local and intercity shifting charges across India. It covers city-wise prices, estimated costs for popular routes and local moving restrictions. The pricing information draws on NoBroker’s booking data from May to October 2026 and its published cost guides, helping you compare estimated moving expenses across cities and routes. 

Packers and Movers Charges in India: Quick Overview

Before booking packers and movers, check the estimated cost for your move type. The table below compares local shifting, intercity moves by distance, and vehicle transport to help you plan your budget. 

Note: These prices are based on NoBroker booking data from May to October 2026 and its published cost guides. The final cost may vary depending on the type of move and services you choose. 

Local Shifting Charges by City and House Size 

Local shifting charges depend on your city and home size. A 1BHK move usually costs less than a 3BHK or 4BHK move because you typically have fewer items to pack, load, and transport. The table below shows NoBroker’s average local shifting costs for different home sizes across seven major cities. 

How House Size Affects Local Shifting Costs 

Larger homes generally require bigger vehicles, more loading time and additional labour. Here is a general estimate for local moves. 

Note: The final cost may also increase if there is no lift or the truck cannot park near your home, as movers may need extra time and labour to carry your belongings.

Packers and Movers Charges in Bangalore 

Bangalore's listed intercity routes range from shorter moves to Chennai to longer journeys towards Delhi. Compare the estimated average price for your destination before choosing a moving service. 

Local Tip: In Bengaluru, heavy and medium goods vehicles face restrictions on certain roads during peak hours, generally from 7 AM to 11 AM and 4 PM to 10 PM. On the Electronic City Elevated Corridor, goods vehicles are restricted from 6 AM to 10 PM. Check the latest Bengaluru Traffic Police rules

Packers and Movers Charges in Delhi

The cost of shifting from Delhi to another city depends on your house size, the volume of belongings and the services required. The table below shows NoBroker’s estimated intercity shifting charges. Use these figures as a starting point and request a quote based on your destination and moving requirements. 

Moving Tip: Before booking, confirm whether packing, furniture dismantling, loading, unloading and transit protection are included in the quote. If you're moving to another city, also check the expected delivery date and ensure someone is available to receive your belongings.

Packers and Movers Charges in Mumbai

The listed routes from Mumbai cover both relatively short moves to Pune and longer journeys to cities such as Delhi NCR, Kolkata and Chennai. The final price will also depend on the volume of goods and the services included in your booking. 

Moving Tip: If you're moving from a high-rise in Powai or Thane, reserve the service lift and confirm the society's moving hours before booking the truck. For buildings on narrow streets, ask whether a smaller vehicle will be needed for loading.

Packers and Movers Charges in Hyderabad

Bangalore is a relatively close major-city destination from Hyderabad, while moves to Mumbai and Delhi cover longer distances. Use the estimates below to compare routes, then request a quote based on your inventory and preferred pickup date.

Moving tip: If you're moving from a gated community in Gachibowli or Kondapur, confirm the permitted moving hours and reserve the service lift if required. This helps avoid delays on the day of pickup.

Packers and Movers Charges in Pune

A move from Pune to Mumbai covers a much shorter distance than a relocation to Delhi or Bangalore. However, distance alone doesn't determine the quote: shipment size, packing requirements and the type of vehicle can also affect the total. 

Moving Tip: Check the latest local goods-vehicle restrictions for your pickup address and planned route. If a larger truck is restricted, ask your mover whether a different vehicle or loading arrangement is required.

Packers and Movers Charges in Chennai

Bangalore is one of the shorter major-city routes from Chennai. Other destinations, including Delhi and Mumbai, involve different distances and delivery arrangements, so compare the estimates before deciding on a moving date. 

Moving Tip: Chennai's northeast monsoon season can bring heavy rain, particularly from October to December. Protect cartons and mattresses from moisture, and check whether large furniture needs to be dismantled to pass through narrow staircases in older buildings.

Packers and Movers Charges in Kolkata

Intercity moves from Kolkata often cover substantial distances. The estimates below show how costs vary by destination, while the distance column helps readers understand the journey's scale. 

Moving Tip: Confirm when your vehicle can enter the pickup neighbourhood and whether it can park close to your building. If access is restricted, ask whether the mover will need a smaller vehicle to transfer your belongings.

Packers and Movers Charges in Noida

A move from Noida to Delhi may be relatively short, while relocating to Bangalore or Chennai involves a much longer journey. The estimates below help you compare destinations, but confirm the final quote for your specific household size.

The listed Ahmedabad routes range from shorter moves to Surat to longer journeys to Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Use the destination estimates as a starting point and compare what each quote includes. 

Moving Tip: If your home is in an older part of the city with narrow streets, confirm whether the moving truck can reach the entrance. For gated communities, arrange the service lift and moving slot in advance.

Packers and Movers Charges in Jaipur

Jaipur's listed routes include shorter moves to Gurgaon and Delhi, as well as longer journeys to Bangalore and Chennai. Compare both distance and estimated price when planning your relocation.

Local vs Intercity House Shifting Charges

Local shifting involves moving within the same city, while intercity shifting involves moving between cities. The distinction affects travel time, vehicle arrangements, packing needs and potential additional charges.

Use the local or intercity cost tables above to estimate your moving budget. Before booking, request an itemised quote covering packing, loading, transport, unloading and extra charges. 

Packers and Movers Charges Per Km

Packers and movers don’t always charge a fixed rate per kilometre. The total quote depends on the distance, volume of goods, packing requirements, and transport arrangements. To compare routes, divide the total moving cost by the distance.

Cost per km = Total moving cost ÷ Distance in km

Packers and Movers Charges Per Km by Route

The table below shows the calculated cost per kilometre for selected 2BHK routes, based on NoBroker estimates.

Cost per km is calculated from the estimated total and approximate distance. It is a comparison metric, not a guaranteed rate offered by movers.

What Affects the Cost Per Km?

• Distance: Longer routes may have a lower cost per kilometre because some costs are spread across more kilometres. The total bill can still be higher.
• House size: More belongings may require a larger vehicle and more labour.
• Truck arrangement: Shared transport can reduce costs, while a dedicated vehicle offers greater control over delivery.
• Route charges: Tolls and other applicable charges can affect the final quote.

Shared Truck vs Dedicated Truck

What's Included in the Price and What Costs Extra

Your moving quote may cover packing, loading, transport and unloading, but not every service is included by default. Check these charges before you confirm your booking.

GST on Packers and Movers Charges

Check whether GST is included in the quoted price or will be added separately. The applicable rate depends on the type of service and relevant tax rules, so verify the current CBIC guidance before stating a specific percentage.

Before you pay: Ask for an itemised quote showing the services included, extra fees and applicable taxes. This makes it easier to compare two movers without being caught out by charges added later.

What Affects Packers and Movers Charges?

Two households can move the same distance and still receive different quotes. The difference often comes down to how much they own, how easy it is to access each home and which services they need.

• House size and inventory: More furniture, appliances and cartons may require a larger vehicle and extra workers.
• Distance: Longer journeys mean more travel time and can increase fuel and toll costs.
• Floor and lift access: Staircases, unavailable service lifts and difficult loading areas can add to handling time and labour.
• Packing requirements: Fragile, bulky or valuable belongings may need extra protective materials.
• Moving date: Weekends, month-end dates and festivals can bring higher demand and fewer available vehicles.
• Booking lead time: Last-minute moves can be harder to arrange and may attract a surcharge.
• Shared or dedicated truck: Sharing a truck may lower transport costs, but delivery can take longer.
• City traffic restrictions: Goods-vehicle rules may affect your pickup time or require a different route.
• Monsoon conditions: Rain may require extra protection for cartons, furniture, and other moisture-sensitive items.

When Is the Cheapest Time to Move?

A mid-month weekday is a useful starting point when comparing quotations because demand may be lower than at month-end. However, the cheapest slot depends on vehicle availability, building access, and your delivery deadline.

• Mid-month weekdays: Compare quotations against weekend and month-end dates.
• Festive periods: Book early around major festivals when demand may increase.
• Monsoon months: Many Indian cities experience the southwest monsoon from June to September, while Chennai's northeast monsoon generally occurs from October to December. Ask about suitable protection for rain-sensitive items.

Compare available dates rather than assuming a fixed percentage saving for weekday or off-peak bookings.
