Q: What insurance do interstate movers include?

Every one of our interstate removals quotes includes full public liability insurance and goods-in-transit insurance . Public liability covers property damage during loading and unloading. Goods-in-transit covers your belongings during the interstate leg. Certificates of currency are provided on request for building managers or corporate relocations — this is often required when moving into or out of CBD apartment towers.

Transit times for interstate removalists vary significantly by route. Short routes: Melbourne ↔ Sydney 2-4 business days, Melbourne ↔ Canberra 1-3 days.

Question 7

Are your interstate removalists AFRA accredited?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We're accredited with the Australian Furniture Removers Association (AFRA) — the industry body that audits interstate removalists every year on insurance, training, equipment and complaints handling. If you're comparing interstate moving companies, AFRA accreditation is the single most reliable indicator that you're dealing with a legitimate operator rather than a broker or one-truck outfit.
