Wellington to New Plymouth moving costs
3-bedroom house
Price on application
Bigger loads usually want a third mover, which Dan prices in. Fixed price within 1 working day.
Get my New Plymouth priceYour quote covers loading, the drive to Taranaki, unloading and the drive back to Wellington.
If Dan lines up a paying load for the trip home, you pay less for that half of the journey.
About 4.5 hours up the west coast of the North Island
The route runs north on SH1 through Transmission Gully and past Levin, then onto SH3 through Whanganui, Pātea and Hāwera, inland through Stratford and Inglewood, and into New Plymouth. That is about 350 km, or about 4.5 hours in a car.
Dan counts anything up to about 13 hours as a single day, and he can make New Plymouth and back in one with a load on. Allow roughly 2 hours to load and 2 hours to unload on top of the drive. A big house or tricky access at either end pushes it into a second day. Dan sets the pick-up and delivery times with you when you book.
We know the road. A recent RelocatioNZ run went from Wellington to Nelson, down the West Coast of the South Island, then back up to New Plymouth.
Your things stay on our truck the whole way
Freight and container services can move your furniture through depots and share the load with other freight. With RelocatioNZ, the crew who wrap and load your couch in Wellington are the same people carrying it into your New Plymouth lounge. Fewer hands on your things means fewer knocks.
Dropping something off in Whanganui?
SH3 passes through Whanganui, so a drop-off on the way can be easy to add. Maybe a bed for a student at UCOL or a piece of furniture for family. Tell us in the form and Dan will build it into your fixed price, because he is happy to do a move with two or more addresses.
Book early, save on the return leg
The earlier you lock in your date, the better the odds of a backload out of Taranaki heading south. Flexible by a few days? Tick "Not sure yet" on the form and add your window in the notes. One week is the minimum notice.

5.0 out of 5 stars
We enlisted the services of Dan and his Team for our shift from storage in Palmerston North to present our property prior to going on the market in Belmont, Lower Hutt We could not praise Relocationz more highly . The shift included very fragile items and also extremely heavy items accumulated from five generational properties. We personally found the prospect of getting our 'treasures' out of storage after 10 years particularly daunting, however the "Relocationz" Team didn't blink an eyelid. They arrived in Palmerston North at 10am and the furniture had been placed in the double storied house in Lower Hutt by the end of the day. We also called on Dan and his team member to assist with reloading and stacking our container after various items had been re-packed. They also offered to take items to the Salvation Army for us, which we were hugely appreciative of as we were under a particularly tight time-frame. The property has since successfully sold and we will once again enlist the services of Dan and his Team with regard to vacant possession prior to settlement. Thank you Dan and the Team at 'Relocationz' Megan and Richard Lower Hutt

WOW!! Much deserved 5 stars. Dan and his team are prompt, have very clear communication and overall hard workers. I would recommend these guys over anyone else, if you want the job done properly and efficiently with no hassle, hire them. Moved an entire house just over 2 hours.

Update 06.09.26- I have used Relocationz ltd for my 3rd move and they were great yet again! I’ve used Relocationz for both my moves now and they’ve been great each time! Speedy and reliable, a great service. The second move was done a steep zig zag path and they were so helpful and managed it without a problem! I’ve recommended them to friends and will definitely use them again when I next move. Dan and David were friendly and had great communication too!

5 stars isn’t enough! Absolutely incredible service. I am so grateful to have found such a trustworthy, efficient and even affordable moving company. It was relatively short notice too and they fit me in. They smashed the job, quickly and safely. They were kind, easygoing and professional! Thank you so much, Dan, for moving my house. Would recommend you in a heartbeat!

The short answer
RelocatioNZ moves homes from Wellington to New Plymouth in one truck with one crew, door to door. The drive is about 350 km up SH1 and SH3, around 4.5 hours in a car. You get a fixed price inc GST within 1 working day, and a backload can lower it. Call Dan on 027 364 9590.
Wellington to New Plymouth moving questions
How much does it cost to move from Wellington to New Plymouth?
There is no standard price, because an intercity move can run from a single mover with a part load to a three-person crew and a full truck. The price depends on how much you are moving, the truck and crew it needs, stairs or long carries at either end, and whether we have a backload for the trip home. Dan sends a fixed quote within 1 working day.
Can you do the move in one day?
Often one. Dan counts anything up to about 13 hours as a single day, and he can do New Plymouth in a day with a load on. The drive is about 4.5 hours in a car and longer in a loaded truck, with roughly 2 hours to load and 2 hours to unload on top. A big house or tricky access at either end makes it two. Dan will tell you which plan suits your move when he quotes.
Do you move to other parts of Taranaki?
Yes. Hāwera, Stratford, Inglewood, Waitara and Ōakura are all on or near the route. Put your new address in the quote form, with any notes on driveways, steps or rural access, and Dan will send a fixed price from your Wellington door to the new one.
Do you move from New Plymouth to Wellington?
Yes. A southbound move can fill the truck on its way home from a Taranaki job, which can mean a cheaper price for you. Send your New Plymouth address and your dates through the form, and Dan will check the runs coming up.
Are my belongings insured?
RelocatioNZ does not carry goods in transit insurance. The crew wraps and blankets your furniture and treats it as their own, but cover for loss or damage sits with you. Ask your contents insurer whether your policy covers items in transit between towns, and note any high-value pieces before moving day. Tell Dan about antiques, art or anything fragile so he can plan how to load and strap them.
