Tarneit is part of the growing western corridor between Melbourne and Geelong. We batch our runs through here on planned schedules — book a few days ahead and pricing stays fair rather than distance-loaded.
Cheltenham depot handles this run as an extended-metro move — plan around 35min depot-to-door on weekdays.
Same crews, same trucks, same hourly rates — whichever of these your Tarneit move turns out to be. Ordered by what we do most often in established family homes.
Six steps, in order, from the moment you enter your address to the moment the crew leaves.
Steps three to five are the ones that change from suburb to suburb — and in Tarneit they are shaped by driveways & off-street parking.
1
Instant estimate, then a human check
Enter your Tarneit address and the calculator returns a real number in about two minutes, built from the same pricing our crews are dispatched on. Our team then reviews the enquiry personally and comes back the same business day.
2
Your date, locked with a written quote
You get the truck size, the crew size, the hourly rate, the call-out and the surcharge (if you are moving on a weekend) in writing before you commit. Nothing on that sheet changes on move day unless you change the job.
3
Levels, driveway and the carry distance
Three questions decide a Tarneit quote: how many levels, can a truck park close to the door, and how long is the carry. We ask those before we ask how many bedrooms, because a single-level house with a straight driveway and a two-storey with a long side path are very different days at the same bedroom count.
4
Truck sized to the load, parked at the door
Most Tarneit properties take a full-size truck at the door, which is the cheapest possible configuration — short carry, one trip, no shuttle. We size to your inventory rather than defaulting to the biggest truck, because you pay for the truck you book. At 35km from Cheltenham Depot we build the travel leg into your quote upfront — you see it as a line item before you book, not as a surprise afterwards.
5
Packed to the room it is going to
We load by destination room, not by size, so the unload runs in the order you actually want it. Fragile items are wrapped individually, wardrobes travel on port-a-robes rather than folded into boxes, and the inventory is checked off as the truck fills.
6
Placed, reassembled, and signed off
Beds go back together, furniture goes where you point rather than where it lands, and the crew does a final walk-through with you before they leave. Billing stops when the last item is placed — we bill by the minute after the two-hour minimum, not in rounded-up half hours.
That is the whole process — no step six-and-a-half.Start at step one and you will have a number for your Tarneit move in about two minutes.
Tarneit has mixed housing — established family homes, some newer builds. Most driveways handle a 6T easily; wider streets take a 10T. We size the truck at quote.

What it costs
Tarneit removalist costs — work it out now
Pick your home size and where you are going. These are the same truck rates, call-out and
two-hour minimum our crews are dispatched on — so this is an indication, not a teaser.
For a real quote against your actual addresses, the calculator takes about two minutes.
Indicative only. Your real quote depends on the actual drive between your two addresses,
stairs, lifts and carry distance. Weekend and public-holiday surcharges are per crew member.
Why it matters
AFRA accredited vs a cheap quote in Tarneit
Anyone can put a truck on a website. AFRA — the Australian Furniture Removers Association —
audits members every year on insurance, equipment, training and complaints handling.
Here is what that difference looks like on a Tarneit job.
What you are comparingEasy Peasy · AFRA memberNon-accredited operator
Insurance that actually covers your goods✓Full public liability and goods-in-transit cover, externally audited as an AFRA member.✗Often no goods-in-transit cover at all — the quote is cheap because the risk sits with you.
Written quote before you commit✓Truck, crew, hourly rate, call-out and any weekend surcharge in writing before you book. Billed by the minute after the two-hour minimum.✗Verbal estimate over the phone, then a "the job was bigger than expected" conversation at the end of the day.
Vehicles and equipment✓Owned, maintained fleet of 20+ trucks with blankets, trolleys, straps and port-a-robes on board as standard.✗Hire truck booked that morning, with equipment charged separately or simply not carried.
Who actually turns up✓Uniformed, screened, trained employees. The same crews week after week, not a different pair each job.✗Subcontracted or casual labour with no background screening and no accountability back to the company.
If something goes wrong✓A documented complaints process, externally audited every year as an AFRA member, with an escalation path that ends at a named manager.✗No formal process. Your options are a chargeback, a bad review, or small claims.
Cancellations and no-shows✓A depot, a dispatcher and a backup truck. If a vehicle breaks down we send another one.✗One truck and one driver. A breakdown or a double-booking means your move simply does not happen that day.
Pricing after the job✓The rate you were quoted, billed to the minute. No fuel levy, no stair levy, no "heavy item" surprise.✗Low headline rate, then call-out fees, travel time, fuel surcharges and equipment hire added at the end.
The depot, the people and the company behind your Tarneit move
A quote is only worth what the business behind it is worth. Here is who actually turns up,
where they come from, and what we are accountable to.
Your depot
Cheltenham Depot
Unit 5/168 Chesterville Rd, Cheltenham VIC 3192
Tarneit is 35km out and regular territory — we are in Geelong & Western Corridor several times a week, so this is a scheduled run rather than a special trip.
Head office + secure indoor storage facility. This is where the fleet lives and where storage clients' goods are held.
Easy Peasy is an AFRA member and a registered NDIS provider, externally audited on insurance, equipment, driver conduct and complaints handling. The same standards apply to a one-bedroom Tarneit flat as to a full house.
Melbourne's fastest-growing corridor plus Victoria's second city — one route, one team, one predictable price.
Tarneit is one of the suburbs we cover across Geelong & Western Corridor. Same crews, same trucks and the same hourly rates apply right across the region, so if you are moving between Geelong & Western Corridor suburbs — or out of Geelong & Western Corridor entirely — it is the same team either way. The Geelong & Western Corridor page lists every suburb we cover in this part of Melbourne.
From 0/hr for a 4T truck with two removalists, 2-hour minimum. Bigger trucks up to 12T available. Longer runs may include return-to-depot travel time — we quote it upfront.
How quickly can you book a Tarneit move?
Regional runs like Tarneit usually book 1-2 weeks out. We batch corridor moves onto planned routes to keep the cost fair — earlier is better.
How much do removalists cost in Tarneit?
From $160/hr for a 2T van or $180/hr for a 4T truck with two removalists, with a two-hour minimum and then billed by the minute. Most Tarneit moves run on a 10T at around $210/hr, and at 35km from our Cheltenham Depot the travel component stays modest. Run your address through the Instant Quote calculator for a full breakdown in about two minutes.
How long does a Tarneit move take?
A typical Tarneit job runs 5–8 hours, based on the established family homes we move here most often. Stairs, lift waits and carry distance are what move that number, which is why we ask about access before we ask about bedrooms.
Do you handle the parking and access issues in Tarneit?
Usually very straightforward. Most Tarneit properties take a full-size truck at or near the door, which keeps the carry short and the job on the lower end of the estimate. We just need to know the driveway takes truck weight and that nothing overhangs the approach.
Can you move us on a weekend in Tarneit?
Yes — Saturday and Sunday slots are available and they book out first, so give us as much notice as you can. Weekend work carries a surcharge paid per removalist (+$11/hr Saturday, +$22/hr Sunday on a two-removalist truck), and it is shown on your quote before you commit rather than added afterwards.
Which suburbs near Tarneit do you also cover?
All of them. We regularly move between Tarneit and Truganina, Wyndham Vale, Hoppers Crossing, Little River, Lara and Corio. A move between two neighbouring suburbs is one of the most common jobs we run — short drive leg, same crew, same hourly rate.
Are you insured and AFRA accredited?
Yes. Easy Peasy Removals is an AFRA member, externally audited on insurance, equipment, driver conduct and complaints handling. We carry public liability and goods-in-transit cover, and we can issue a Certificate of Currency on request — usually the same day, which is what most buildings and body corporates ask for before they will release a lift booking.

Very easy to deal with from booking to packing and unpacking the truck. The removal team of David and Oscar were very thorough and careful but also efficient. Highly recommended.

Chris and JP from Easy Peasy Removals were terrific. They were very pleasant and polite and careful with our belongings, moving all our belongings carefully including some large antiques. I can really recommend Easy Peasy. They made our move so much easier.
