Weekend removals in Brisbane are available on both Saturdays and Sundays and are priced at our standard rate of $195 per hour for two movers and a truck, or $260/hr for a three-person crew, plus a $14 fuel levy — with a small weekend surcharge on top. If your settlement date falls on a weekend or you can only move when you’re not at work, we’re available to accommodate it.
Weekend Removalist Pricing in Brisbane
Our weekend rate is the standard weekday rate plus a small surcharge. The surcharge is the same on both Saturdays and Sundays. We don’t publish a specific dollar amount for the surcharge because it can vary — contact us or get an online quote and we’ll confirm the weekend pricing for your exact dates. Here’s what the base cost looks like before the surcharge:
| Home Size | Crew + Truck | Typical Hours | Estimated Weekday Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bed | 2 movers + truck @ $195/hr | 3–5 hrs | $585–$975 + $14 fuel |
| 2-bed house or unit | 2 movers + truck @ $195/hr | 5–7 hrs | $975–$1,365 + $14 fuel |
| 3-bed house | 3 movers + truck @ $260/hr | 6–8 hrs | $1,560–$2,080 + $14 fuel |
| 4-bed house | 3 movers + truck @ $260/hr | 8–10 hrs | $2,080–$2,600 + $14 fuel |

What’s Included in a Weekend Move
- The same professional, experienced crew as a weekday move
- Fully equipped removal truck
- Moving blankets and furniture wrapping
- Trolleys, straps, and equipment for safe heavy-item handling
- $14 flat fuel levy
- Transit insurance on your belongings
- Photo updates throughout the move
A weekend booking doesn’t mean a junior team or reduced service. You get the same crew, the same truck, and the same approach as any other day of the week.
What Can Change the Weekend Price
Beyond the standard weekend surcharge, the same factors that affect all Brisbane removalist costs apply:
- Access conditions — stairs, narrow driveways, long carries, or restricted parking all add time to the job
- Volume — the amount of furniture and boxes is the biggest driver of total hours
- Preparation — having everything packed and ready before the crew arrives keeps the job moving efficiently
- Distance — longer drives between pickup and delivery add to the hourly clock
- Specialist items — pianos, pool tables, and large gym equipment may require specialist handling; see our piano removalist page
- Public holidays — if your weekend move falls on a public holiday, there’s an additional surcharge; availability should be confirmed by phone
Real Example: Weekend 2 Bedroom Move, Fortitude Valley to Newstead
A Saturday move from a 2 bedroom apartment in Fortitude Valley to a 2 bedroom apartment in Newstead. Both apartments were on the second floor with lift access. The customer had everything packed and labelled before the crew arrived — around 30 boxes, plus standard 2 bedroom furniture.
The job ran 5 hours on a Saturday:
- 45 min — load furniture and all boxes via lift
- 15 min — drive Fortitude Valley to Newstead
- 3.5 hrs — unload via lift at destination, place items in rooms
- 30 min — reassemble beds, final placement
Weekday equivalent: 5 hours × $195/hr = $975 + $14 fuel levy = $989
Weekend rate: $989 + small weekend surcharge (confirmed at booking)
The well-prepared state of the apartment — everything boxed and by the door — kept the Saturday move efficient despite lift carry at both ends.
Why Choose a Weekend Move?
For most working Queenslanders, moving during the week means taking annual leave. A weekend move lets you avoid that. There are also practical advantages: you can unpack on Sunday without needing to rush to work on Monday, and family or friends are more likely to be available to help if needed.
The small surcharge on weekends reflects the higher demand for weekend slots — they book out faster than weekday equivalents. If you have flexibility, a Friday move is often a good middle ground: you can unpack over the weekend without the surcharge.
Comparing Your Options
When getting weekend removalist quotes in Brisbane, a few things to verify:
- Is the weekend surcharge disclosed upfront or added post-booking?
- Does the quote cover the same crew size and truck as a weekday move?
- Is transit insurance included on weekends?
- What’s the minimum charge?
At Relocation Rangers, the weekend surcharge is confirmed when you book — not added to your invoice at the end. See our pricing page for base rates, or learn more about our Brisbane service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much extra do weekend moves cost in Brisbane?
Weekend moves attract a small surcharge on top of the standard hourly rate of $195/hr (2 movers) or $260/hr (3 movers). We confirm the specific surcharge amount when you book, as it can vary by date. Get an online quote for your specific weekend date to see the confirmed pricing.
Do you move on both Saturdays and Sundays?
Yes — we’re available on both Saturdays and Sundays. The same small surcharge applies on both days. Sunday availability can be tighter than Saturday, so it’s worth booking as early as possible if Sunday is your preferred date.
Should I book a weekend move well in advance?
Yes — weekend slots are our most popular booking times and typically fill 3–4 weeks ahead of the date, especially around end-of-month settlement dates. If you know your moving date, book as early as possible to secure your preferred time. We also accommodate last-minute bookings when availability allows.
Is the service quality the same on weekends?
Yes — same crew, same truck, same process. We don’t run a reduced weekend service. The surcharge reflects demand for weekend slots, not a premium tier of service. You’ll receive the same insured, professional team that handles our weekday moves.
What happens if my weekend move falls on a public holiday?
Public holidays are available but attract an additional surcharge on top of the weekend rate. Availability on public holidays should be confirmed by phone rather than through the online booking system. We recommend calling us directly if your move date falls on a public holiday.
Can I get a fixed price for a weekend move?
We operate on hourly pricing, which means your final bill reflects the actual time spent rather than a fixed estimate. For a weekend move, the hourly rate plus the confirmed surcharge gives you a clear guide before move day. Most customers find the hourly model works in their favour when the move is well-prepared.
Do you offer storage if I need to move out on a Friday but can’t move in until Monday?
Yes — Brisbane storage is available from $150/week. We can move your belongings into storage on Friday and deliver to your new address when it’s ready. It’s a clean solution when settlement dates don’t align neatly with your move-out date.
Are packing services available on weekends?
Yes — packing services are available as an add-on to weekend moves. We can pack your boxes on the morning of the move or the day before if scheduling allows. Packing pack costs start from $258 for a studio and go to $994 for a large 4+ bedroom home. Having boxes pre-packed before the crew arrives is the most cost-effective approach.
