These suggestions are based on the information that the User provides to us at the time of Booking, including the size of premises and any inventory lists. These suggestions are advisory only.

2.4 Fixed Fee

  • (a) We may offer Users a Fixed Fee for long-distance relocations (for example, metro to regional/ regional to metro or interstate relocations). The Fixed Fee will be based on the size of the truck and our then current Hourly Rates and will be calculated on the number of removalists and number of hours required to perform the Service.
