2026 Packers and Movers Charges: Estimate Your Move
Prepared by DZ Cargo Packers and Movers · 27 October 2026
Start with a budget range, then check what your move actually needs. A small flat with an easy loading point and a fully furnished home reached by stairs can involve very different work. This tool brings our published distance bands together with the questions that turn a rough budget into a useful quotation.
A planning estimate, not a booking price. The figures below reproduce the indicative tables on our homepage. They are not an IBA tariff, an employer’s allowance or a surveyed national average. Inventory, access, packing scope, vehicle arrangements and dates must be reviewed before a written quotation is agreed.

Choose your move, then select the distance band you have checked. IBA verification and claim paperwork are separate from this cost estimate.
The published rate tables below also work without JavaScript.
Transit planning allowance
Illustrative scheduling assumption after dispatch, not observed delivery data or a guaranteed service time. Packing, consolidation, permissions, weather and receiving availability can change the schedule. Confirm dates with the coordinator.
Packing material breakdown to discuss
Material quantities and separate prices are confirmed from the inventory. The list is not a priced material bill.

Published local moving ranges
These are the existing DZ Cargo house-shifting bands. The published table has no separate 41–45 km band, so the calculator requests an individual quotation for that interval instead of inventing a price.
| Home size | Up to 10 km | 11–25 km | 26–40 km | Above 45 km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK | ₹3,000–5,000 | ₹4,000–6,500 | ₹7,000–8,500 | ₹8,000–10,500 |
| 2 BHK | ₹4,000–7,000 | ₹6,500–9,500 | ₹8,500–11,000 | ₹10,000–13,500 |
| 3 BHK | ₹8,000–10,000 | ₹9,500–12,500 | ₹12,000–16,500 | ₹15,000–20,500 |
| 4 BHK | ₹8,000–12,000 | ₹12,000–14,500 | ₹13,500–17,500 | ₹15,000–20,500 |
Published intercity moving ranges
Choose the band for the actual road journey rather than the distance between city centres. Our calculator uses whole-kilometre band boundaries to avoid overlapping endpoints. Journeys above 1,900 km and local vehicle-only moves need an individual quote.
| Move size | Up to 400 km | 401–800 km | 801–1,300 km | 1,301–1,900 km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK | ₹6,000–15,000 | ₹9,000–20,000 | ₹10,000–22,000 | ₹11,000–24,000 |
| 2 BHK | ₹8,000–18,000 | ₹10,000–25,000 | ₹12,000–24,000 | ₹14,000–28,000 |
| 3 BHK | ₹10,000–25,000 | ₹11,000–30,000 | ₹13,000–28,000 | ₹16,000–34,000 |
| 4 BHK | ₹15,000–28,000 | ₹16,000–32,000 | ₹16,000–32,000 | ₹26,000–42,000 |
| Car component only | ₹3,000–5,000 | ₹7,000–10,000 | ₹9,000–13,000 | ₹11,000–15,000 |
What changes the final quotation?
Prepare a room-wise inventory and flag anything that needs dismantling, special protection or separate handling. Share the floor at both addresses, lift dimensions, stairs and the distance from the truck to the entrance. Confirm whether the booking includes loading, unloading, unpacking and reassembly, then ask for applicable taxes, insurance, storage, extra handling and exclusions to be stated clearly.
For a bank or PSU transfer, check the IBA verification and transfer-claim document checklist before booking. An operator recommendation does not set the moving price or approve your employer’s reimbursement claim.

How this calculator was prepared
- Prices: the existing DZ Cargo local and domestic indicative tables, reviewed for this tool on 27 October 2026. No city-specific surcharge or invented bike price is added.
- Schedule: a planning allowance selected by distance band, not a measurement of previous jobs. It excludes the time needed to arrange collection and confirm dispatch.
- Packing: a practical scope checklist, not a material quantity survey or cost split. Villa inventory and vehicle combinations require review.
- IBA: verify the current operator record through the Indian Banks’ Association and obtain your employer’s requirements. No IBA reimbursement tariff is used here.
Questions before you request a quote
Is this an official IBA rate calculator?
No. IBA does not set the prices in this calculator. It uses DZ Cargo’s published indicative rate bands. Check the current operator record and your bank or employer’s document and reimbursement requirements separately.
Why do I choose a road-distance band as well as two cities?
The cities identify your planned move; the calculator does not use a maps service or calculate road mileage. Select a band using the route distance you have checked. Loading points, detours and the actual transport arrangement still need confirmation.
Does Car + Bike show a combined transport price?
No. Only the published car component is shown for supported intercity bands. Bike transport and any combined arrangement need a separate written quotation; the calculator does not invent a bike charge.
Are packing materials, tax and insurance included?
The material list describes items to discuss, not a priced bill of materials. Confirm quantities, packing and handling inclusions, applicable tax, insurance, storage, access charges and exclusions in the written quotation.
Will the WhatsApp button send a PDF automatically?
No. It opens a draft request to DZ Cargo on WhatsApp. You decide whether to send it. The team reviews your inventory and arrangements before providing an official quotation.
