Intercity Move Rates within NCR
Moving between cities in the NCR (Delhi → Gurgaon, Noida → Faridabad etc.) typically adds 30–60% to the local rate because of longer truck time and state permit costs.
| Route | 1 BHK | 2 BHK | 3 BHK |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi ↔ Gurgaon | ₹8,000–₹14,000 | ₹14,000–₹22,000 | ₹22,000–₹36,000 |
| Delhi ↔ Noida | ₹7,000–₹12,000 | ₹12,000–₹20,000 | ₹20,000–₹32,000 |
| Delhi ↔ Faridabad | ₹8,000–₹13,000 | ₹13,000–₹21,000 | ₹21,000–₹34,000 |
| Delhi ↔ Ghaziabad | ₹7,000–₹12,000 | ₹12,000–₹19,000 | ₹19,000–₹30,000 |
| Noida ↔ Gurgaon | ₹10,000–₹16,000 | ₹16,000–₹26,000 | ₹26,000–₹40,000 |
What Affects the Price
More furniture = bigger truck = higher cost. A minimally furnished 2 BHK can cost 30% less than a fully furnished one.
No service lift? Expect ₹500–₹2,000 per floor charge. High-rises with small service lifts slow the crew and add time.
Month-end dates (25th–31st) cost 30–40% more. Mid-month weekday moves are cheapest.
Basic transit insurance is included by most movers. Full declared value coverage (for expensive furniture, electronics) costs 1–2% of declared value extra.
Beds, wardrobes, modular kitchens need dismantling. Good movers include this; budget movers charge ₹1,000–₹3,000 extra.
Standard packing uses corrugated boxes + bubble wrap. Ultra-premium uses wooden crating for antiques and art. Big price difference.
Hidden Charges to Watch Out For
Many movers quote a low number and add extras on the day of the move. Here's what to watch:
- Stair charges — ₹500–₂,000 per floor if no lift. Ask upfront.
- Packaging material charges — Some movers exclude boxes from the quote. Confirm.
- Toll & parking — Legitimate but should be stated in the quote, not added at delivery.
- Octroi / state entry fees — Applies on Delhi–UP and Delhi–Haryana border crossings. Should be in writing.
- Waiting charges — If your society gates are closed and the truck waits, some movers charge ₹200–500/hour.
- Unpacking charges — Many movers include loading/unloading but not unpacking. Confirm what "unloading" means.
How to Save Money on Your Move
- Book mid-month, mid-week — Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the 10th–20th window are cheapest.
- Declutter before the quote — Movers price by volume. Sell or donate before the surveyor visits.
- Get 3 quotes minimum — Compare written quotes, not verbal estimates. Look at inclusions, not just the total.
- Pack your own non-fragile items — Books, clothes, and linens are easy to pack yourself. This cuts labour time.
- Avoid peak season — April–June and October–November are peak moving months in NCR. Off-peak = lower prices.
