How we as your localised Moving Team in Johannesburg make your move as affordable as possible

Moving company and furniture removals services in Johannesburg range widely in price, and we believe you should know roughly what to expect before you commit. The tables below give you a realistic sense of local and long-distance furniture removal costs in the Johannesburg area. All figures are estimates: your final quote will depend on specific factors like the volume of furniture, access at both addresses, any specialty items, and any additional services such as packing or storage. Below are average moving company prices in Johannesburg, based on property size, as well as long-distance moving company prices from Johannesburg to Cape Town as an example:

Property Size Local Johannesburg Moving Prices Long Distance Moving Costs
1 Bedroom R1,900 – R4,000 R3,500 – R7,500
2 Bedroom R3,500 – R6,000 R6,500 – R14,000
3 Bedroom R6,000 – R9,500 R12,000 – R26,000
4+ Bedrooms R8,500 – R15,000+ R22,000 – R38,000+

Based on an average amount of furniture per home size and our current rate per cubic foot. Last updated 2 April 2026. Long-distance removals from Johannesburg are influenced by a wider set of variables than local moves — primarily distance, road access, time of year, and whether you opt for a full load or a shared load. The figures above cover typical moving company prices to and from Johannesburg, but an accurate quote can only be supplied by getting in touch with one of our moving consultants.

Johannesburg Moving Companies: Frequently Asked Questions

Getting a quote is simple. Fill in our inventory form with the details of your move — your current address, destination, full list of items to be moved, and any special items like pianos or large appliances. A dedicated Johannesburg moving consultant will review your submission and email you a personalised, no-obligation quote, usually within a few hours. There are no hidden fees and no pressure to commit.
Our Johannesburg moving companies service all of Johannesburg and the greater Gauteng region, including Sandton, Randburg, Fourways, Bryanston, Midrand, Centurion, Pretoria, Edenvale, Bedfordview, Kempton Park, Boksburg, and Alberton, among others. For long distance furniture removals, we connect Johannesburg with all major cities and towns across South Africa, including Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, and the Garden Route.
Local moving company prices in Johannesburg depend primarily on the size of your home, the volume of furniture, and any additional services you require such as packing or storage. As a general guide: 1 Bedroom: R1,900 – R4,000 2 Bedrooms: R3,500 – R6,000 3 Bedrooms: R6,000 – R9,500 4+ Bedrooms: R8,500 – R15,000+ These are estimates based on an average amount of furniture per home size. Your final quote may vary depending on access at both addresses (e.g., stairs, lifts, narrow driveways), the distance between pickup and drop-off, and any specialty items. See our full pricing table for more detail, or contact us for a personalised quote.
A one-bedroom apartment usually takes between 2 to 4 hours from start to finish. A two-bedroom home typically takes 3 to 5 hours, and a three-bedroom home can take anywhere from half a day or a full day depending on the volume of furniture and how prepared the home is. Packing your own items into boxes beforehand makes a significant difference to the overall time.
A standard moving quote includes loading, transportation in a fully enclosed removal truck, offloading, and furniture placement in your new home. Our professional movers supply moving blankets and strapping as part of our standard service to keep your items safe. Specialty services like professional packing, specialized wrapping, custom crating for fragile items, hoisting, and storage are available at an additional cost.
Our moving companies in Johannesburg include standard goods-in-transit insurance as a baseline. This covers anything that can happen to the truck, including accidents and highjacking. For higher-value items or greater peace of mind, we offer optional All Risk cover, which provides broader protection including cover for accidental breakage. We recommend discussing your insurance options with your moving consultant before your move date so you fully understand what is covered.
We have been operational since 2020 and hold a 4.9-star rating across Google and HelloPeter, based on verified customer reviews. We encourage you to read our reviews on both platforms before booking. When evaluating moving companies, we recommend checking their Google and HelloPeter reviews, whether they carry goods-in-transit insurance, whether All Risk cover is available, and the condition and quality of their trucks. We are happy to answer any of these questions directly, just drop us an email.
We recommend booking 1–2 weeks ahead, and earlier for month-end, weekends and the busy November–December period when Johannesburg movers fill up fast. That said, we often accommodate short-notice and same-week moves — just ask.
Yes. Every Johannesburg move includes goods-in-transit cover (R200,000 included free), with higher cover available on request. Our teams also wrap and protect your furniture to prevent damage in the first place.
Yes. We offer full and partial packing, professional wrapping and packing materials. Pack yourself to save, or let our team handle everything for a faster, stress-free Johannesburg move.
Mid-week, mid-month moves (Tuesday to Thursday) are usually the most affordable, as demand is lower than on weekends and at month-end. Booking early also helps secure the best rate.

What Can I Expect When Moving To Johannesburg?

Johannesburg is not a city that eases you in gently. It is fast, social, and surprisingly easy to put down roots in, even if you arrive not knowing a soul. One of the things newcomers consistently notice is how friendly and open Joburgers tend to be. Unlike some South African cities where social circles can feel a little closed off, Johannesburg has a reputation for being genuinely welcoming. The city draws people from everywhere, and that mix shows. Socially, life revolves around eating, drinking, and gathering, and Johannesburg has some amazing restaurants, markets, and coffee spots. Attractions like the Apartheid Museum and Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens are a must-visit (at least once), and if you’re up for a bit of driving the Kruger National Park makes for an unforgettable weekend getaway. While there are security concerns in some parts of Jozi, many find the northern suburbs (areas like Fourways, Bryanston, Sandton, and Randburg) safe. These suburbs also offer good schools, reliable amenities, and well-established communities. Like any major city, Johannesburg has its challenges, and it is worth going in with realistic expectations. But for many people who make the move, it becomes home quickly.

From the leafy northern suburbs of Fourways and Midrand to the creative energy of Maboneng and Melville, Jo’burg offers something for everyone.
