House Moving Services

House moving services help Filipino families move furniture and appliances from one home to another. Transportify offers a house moving service through our app that matches your items to the right vehicle and shows the full fare before you confirm. Transportify’s moving service handles residential relocations, condominium, apartment, and same-day moves. Transportify’s moving service fleet ranges from sedans to 10-wheeler wing vans. Price depends on vehicle size, distance, and the extra services you add which are all available in the Transportify app.

House Moving Options for Every Type of Move

House moving options are sorted by what you’re actually moving. House moving categories can be classified into household furniture, appliances and electronics, personal belongings, large and heavy household items, and fragile household items. To avoid overpaying for a vehicle bigger than you need, each category gets a suggested vehicle size and price range.

Household Furniture

Household furniture covers the large item pieces that fill a living room and a dining area. Household furniture is high volume hence larger vehicles are recommended for these items. Prices for this category typically range from ₱415 for a small L300 or van booking to ₱1,600 for a Closed Van for Manila bookings. Transportify offers L300s, Vans, Closed Vans and larger trucks that all offer enough floor space and side protection for larger pieces. An example of household furniture are sofas, beds, tables, etc. Choose a vehicle based on the length and height of your largest piece rather than just total volume.

Appliances and Electronics

Appliances and electronics moving requires careful handling because most units are heavy and sensitive to tilting. Appliances and Electronics also need enclosed space to protect against the weather and improve security. Transportify offers vehicles that fit these criteria with prices ranging from ₱375 for a Light Van to ₱1,600 for a Closed Van, based on how many appliances you’re relocating. Sedans and other smaller vehicles are also available for lightweight appliances and electronics. An example of appliances and electronics are refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, and air conditioners. Ensure that it is placed upright and tightly locked in to avoid damage. Each of these items adds weight and bulk, so grouping several appliances in one Closed Van trip is usually cheaper than booking separate small vehicles.

Personal Belongings

Personal belongings moving handles the smaller items that make up a household’s day-to-day stuff. This category costs less than furniture or appliance moves, with rates starting around ₱220 for a Sedan and going up to ₱415 for an L300 or Van for Metro Manila deliveries. A Sedan, MPV, or SUV usually fits several boxes of personal items without needing a bigger cargo vehicle. Personal belongings usually include clothes, accessories, documents, books, and other personal items. Incorporate these cost-effective options into your next relocation to simplify your move and ensure your everyday essentials arrive safely and on time. You can keep your moving costs low while enjoying a hassle-free delivery right to your doorstep by choosing the right vehicle size.

Large and Heavy Household Items

Large and heavy household items are the pieces that exceed the payload limit of a standard van. Transportify offers Closed van bookings starting at ₱1,600 and ₱4,450 for a 6-Wheeler Forward Truck in Metro Manila. Transportify’s truck-class bookings include one helper alongside the driver to assist you in moving your items. An example of Large and heavy household items are double-door refrigerators, cabinets, Sofas, and many more. Choosing Transportify gets you a cost-effective solution that takes the physical strain out of moving oversized furniture and equipment.

Fragile Household Items

Fragile household items are the pieces that break easily from sudden movement and vibration. Fragile household items need a stable cargo and extra padding to reduce risks of breakage. A sedan or MPV works for small fragile pieces on a short trip while a closed van suits full-length mirrors and framed artwork. Sedan bookings start at ₱220 and closed van bookings start at ₱1,600 for Manila pick-ups. Every Transportify booking carries complimentary incidental goods insurance. Fragile household items include glassware, mirrors, decorations, and delicate electronics. Packing these items with bubble wrap or blankets before the driver arrives helps reduce the chance of damage on top of choosing the right vehicle.

How does the House Moving Service work?

The house moving service works in three steps that all happen inside the Transportify app.

1. Booking: Book your move inside the Transportify app by entering your pickup and drop-off addresses and choosing a vehicle size.
2. Courier Pick Up: A driver arrives at your old address within the scheduled window, and the courier pick up process has the crew load and secure your furniture and appliances.
3. Delivered with Epod: Your move ends with a digital record. The receiving party signs on the driver device once every item is unloaded.

Transportify’s streamlined process gives you total transparency and effortless control from the moment you book to the final destination.

Booking

Booking a house move on Transportify starts inside the app, where you enter your pickup address, drop-off address, and the vehicle size that fits your load. The app returns the exact fare for your delivery before you confirm anything. You can then select which delivery schedule options you can use. Transportify offers Immediate, Scheduled and Full Day delivery options. Immediate sends a driver immediately, Scheduled lets you plan a date up to 14 days ahead, and Full Day reserves the vehicle for a 10-hour shift. Add extra services that you may need for your move.

Courier Pick Up

Meet the driver at your pickup address. The assigned driver-partner arrives with the vehicle, and the standard service already covers loading and unloading within 15 meters of the vehicle. Transportify collects household items at the door instead of asking you to haul them to a branch or drop-off center, which is the same door-to-door model behind our courier pick up service for businesses.

The driver and the extra helper load your furniture, appliances, and boxes into the vehicle. Every driver-partner goes through ID verification and background checks before joining the platform.

Delivered with Epod

Close the booking with electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) after the last item comes off the vehicle. ePod requires the client to sign on the driver device to mark the booking complete. The record captures the completion timestamp along with the GPS route the vehicle took. The completed booking stays in your app history should you need it as reference.

House Moving Solutions for Every Team

Transportify’s house moving solutions extend beyond residential relocations to office moves, retail store transfers, and employee housing relocations. Choose from Transportify’s wide vehicle fleet to transport desks, cabinets, appliances, and boxed supplies, with 24/7 service and customer support. Apply for a Transportify Corporate Account to let authorized employees manage bookings under one account, review customized reports, and access prepay or postpay options with monthly invoicing.

Residential Relocation

Residential relocation covers the standard home-to-home move that most Filipino families go through when they transfer to a new address. Transportify’s services offer vehicles such as L300s or Vans for smaller household moves, or a Closed Van and bigger trucks when the load includes bulkier furniture and appliances. Full Day bookings are also offered by Transportify to accommodate residential relocations. A Full Day booking reserves the vehicle for 10 hours at a fixed rate and allows unlimited destinations within a 40-kilometer radius of the pickup point. Full Day suits moves that need multiple return trips.

Book a residential relocation through the Transportify app and get your sofas, beds, and kitchenware delivered in one booking.

Apartment and Condominium Moving

Apartment and condominium moving is different from standard residential location as it is subject to building rules. Most Philippine condominiums require a move-out permit and a gate pass from the admin office. Transportify allows you to select a Scheduled booking so the vehicle arrives in your building’s assigned slot up to 14 days ahead. Transportify also offers an extra service where a driver brings an ID badge to abide by some security protocols. Delivery vehicle dimensions must also be accounted for when doing apartment or condominium bookings. The L300 van has a cargo body of 8 by 4.5 by 4.5 feet and clears most basement parking.

Schedule your apartment and condominium moving trip in advance so building management can accommodate any requirements for your move-out day.

Same Day House Moving

Same day house moving fits situations where you need to vacate a unit fast. Transportify offers an immediate delivery type so a driver reaches you within an hour . Transportify assigns the nearest available vehicle for these bookings, and the same same-day delivery network that businesses use for urgent shipments also handles urgent household moves.

Book a same day house moving trip through the app whenever your move can’t wait for a scheduled slot.

House Moving Support

House moving support covers add-ons beyond the vehicle. Extra Helper and Special Help by Driver adds manpower for lifting your cargo. Every Transportify booking also comes with real time tracking that shows the vehicle position throughout the trip, and 24/7 in-app live chat handles problems while the move is still running.

Add house moving support options at checkout to make your move-in day go smoother from pickup to final drop-off.

Cheap Vehicle Options Per-Route Delivery Pricing

Transportify’s per-route delivery pricing gets you the most affordable rates with the right vehicle for your cargo size. For example, a studio apartment doesn’t need a 6-wheeler, and a five-bedroom house won’t fit in a sedan. Transportify is able to give you a wide selection of cheap vehicles to fit any of your moving needs.

Van or L300 Delivery

Van or L300 delivery is one of the flexible and cheapest enclosed vehicle options for a house move. Transportify driver partner’s L300 and Van option starts at ₱415 in Metro Manila. The enclosed cargo area works well for appliances, boxed belongings, and furniture that shouldn’t get wet or dusty during transit. If your move includes electronics or documents that need extra protection, van delivery through a Closed Van gives you that sealed, lockable space at a lower cost than a full truck booking. Compare van rates in the price calculator before you book.

Pickup Truck

Pickup truck delivery gives you an open cargo bed for items that are bulky and oddly shaped that don’t fit inside an enclosed van. Transportify’s Small Pickup option starts at ₱418 in Metro Manila and drops to around ₱325 in Visayas. The open bed handles tall and big loads like disassembled bed frames or tall cabinets that won’t fit through a van’s rear door. Check pickup truck rates for your route in the app.

Closed Van

Closed Van delivery gives you a bigger, fully enclosed vehicle for house moves that outgrow a standard L300 or Van. This option starts at ₱1,600 in Metro Manila and carries loads up to 2,000 kilograms. Every Closed Van booking comes with a free helper, so you get extra hands for loading and unloading without paying an add-on fee. The sealed cargo body also keeps your belongings shielded from rain and dust on longer intercity trips, such as a move from Manila to Cavite. Check closed van rates for your specific route before you lock in your booking.

What Should I Look For When Choosing a Moving Company?

The right moving company for a house move has verifiable business registration, transparent per-vehicle pricing, and insurance coverage for your belongings. A registered business gives you a legal party to hold accountable. Transparent pricing means the company states its base rate, per-kilometer charge, and any add-on fees before you book. Liability coverage matters to protect the shipper in the event of an accident or damaged goods.

How do I Find Reliable Movers for My House Move?

You can find reliable movers for a house move by checking a real office address, a named point of contact, and recent customer reviews. A moving company that only replies through a group chat, with no single coordinator following your booking from start to finish is harder to hold accountable if something goes wrong. Look up the company’s presence on Google Business Profile or Facebook and read through recent reviews.

App-based house moving platforms such as Transportify has a real office address, a named point of contact, and customer reviews which covers all characteristics of a reliable moving company. Aside from these three signals, Transportify also backs its service with 24/7 customer support, a wide fleet of vehicles ranging from a Sedan to a 6-Wheeler Forward Truck, and transparent pricing that shows your fare before you confirm the booking

What is the Difference Between Professional Movers and a Moving Company?

Professional movers are the individual crew members who load and transport your belongings, while a moving company is the business that hires, insures, and dispatches those movers. The distinction matters because you’re trusting the company’s screening process. Truck-for-hire logistics platforms like Transportify transport your belongings and handle the loading while you pack ahead of time, which keeps the price closer to just the vehicle and driver.

Transportify’s platform model gives you vetted professional movers. Every driver-partner passes ID verification and a background check before joining the platform. Booking through the app also includes a free helper for Closed Vans and larger vehicles to assist with loading and unloading. If you’re fine packing your own boxes, going with Transportify is usually the more cost-effective way.

When Should I Book Movers for a House Move?

Book movers for a house move at least three to five days before your target date. Same-day booking is possible if your vehicle of choice has availability. Booking early is crucial during peak moving periods, such as around school break in March and April when families relocate before a new school year. Transportify can schedule a booking up to 14 days ahead to accommodate your moving timeline.

What are the benefits of using a Professional House Moving Service?

The benefits of using a professional house moving service go beyond just having someone else carry the boxes. First is the instant pricing because Transportify shows your fare before you confirm the booking so you know the cost of your move before the truck even shows up.Second, real-time tracking lets you watch your driver’s location on the map from pickup to drop-off. Third is a wide vehicle lineup since you can pick anything from a Sedan to a 6-Wheeler Forward Truck and match the vehicle to your household size instead of overpaying for a truck bigger than your items. Lastly, digital proof of delivery gives you a timestamped record.

How Early Should I Start Preparing for a House Move?

Start preparing for a house move six to eight weeks before your move date if you’re relocating a full household, or two to three weeks ahead for a smaller apartment move. Preparation time depends on how many items that you want to bring to your next house. The six to eight weeks window gives you time to declutter and book your moving vehicle before the peak dates fill up. Transportify’s flexible booking schedule works for individuals with busy weeks which lets you advance book up to 14 days ahead.

What Should I Pack First When Moving House?

Pack the items you use least first, which in most Filipino homes means off-season and formal clothing, books, display pieces, spare kitchenware, and stored documents. Packing order should run opposite to how often you use something because it won’t disrupt your day-to-day routine. Work by room such as your garage where items are not used daily.

How can I Prepare My Belongings for Moving Day?

Prepare your belongings by boxing and labelling them near the parking spot before the vehicle arrives. Write the contents and the destination room on the side of the box to be organized so movers and your family members can place boxes directly into the right room without guessing. Appliances like refrigerators need to be defrosted and dried for about 24 hours before packing. You may also photograph high-value items before they’re wrapped to support a damage claim.

What Items Should I Move Separately From the Rest of My Household?

Certain items shouldn’t get boxed and loaded with the rest of your household. These items are important and small enough to travel with you personally. They usually share one or more traits, being hard to replace, high in value, needed daily, or essential to someone’s health and safety, which is exactly why they’re worth keeping within reach.

• Important documents: Birth certificates, land titles, passports, and other government or property records that are difficult or slow to replace if lost.
• Cash and valuables: Jewelry, spare cash, and small heirlooms that carry both monetary and sentimental value beyond what insurance can cover.
• Medications: Prescription drugs and medical supplies that your household needs daily, since a delayed delivery could interrupt treatment.
• Electronics and chargers: Laptops, phones, and their chargers, which you’ll likely need for work or communication throughout moving day.
• Pet essentials: Food, water bowls, leashes, and any calming items your pet needs during a stressful trip.

Packing these essentials into a dedicated personal bag guarantees immediate access and complete peace of mind throughout your move. This ensures your most critical items stay secure and organized on moving day.

How Much Does a House Move Usually Cost?

A house move with Transportify using an L300 or van starts at ₱415 in Metro Manila. Transportify’s standard rates already can cover small moving loads such as a studio unit with a modest boxes-and-furniture count. Larger households push the price higher, with a Closed Van starting at ₱1,600 and a 6-Wheeler Forward Truck starting at ₱4,450 for full houses with heavier furniture and appliances.

What Factors Affect Moving Service Prices?

Moving service prices shift based on variables that either add distance, weight, or labor to the job. Knowing these factors ahead of time helps you evaluate which moving service actually fits your budget and household size before you commit to a booking.

• Vehicle type: Bigger vehicles like a Closed Van or 6-Wheeler Forward Truck cost more than a Sedan or L300, since they carry more weight and take up more fuel.
• Distance and route: A longer trip, especially an intercity one like Manila to Cavite, adds a per-kilometer charge on top of the base fare.
• Extra helpers: Adding a second or third helper for heavy lifting costs more than the single free helper included in most bookings.
• Extra service: Transportify offers various extra services which could add to the overall cost. Extra services include safety shoes of the driver, push cart, parking, and many more.

These factors interact with each other, since a heavy load in a hard-to-access building can push you toward a bigger vehicle even for a short trip.

Is It Cheaper to Hire a Moving Service or Arrange Transportation Myself?

Hiring a moving service is cheaper than arranging transportation yourself when you don’t already own a suitable vehicle. Renting a truck and paying for the fuel adds up the cost faster, and that’s before factoring in the time cost of multiple trips if your own vehicle can’t fit everything in one load. A moving service bundles the vehicle, driver, and often a free extra helper into one quoted price, so you’re not juggling separate rental fees and gas receipts.

How can I Reduce the Cost of Moving House?

Reduce the cost of moving house by decluttering before you book because fewer items mean a smaller and cheaper vehicle. Sell, donate, or discard furniture and belongings you no longer use well ahead of your move date. Consolidate everything into one booking rather than several small ones because each booking has its own base fare. Transportify has a wide range of vehicles that you can choose from so you can reduce the cost of house moving as much as possible.

What House Move Delivery Services Does Transfortify Offer?

Transportify offers a handful of house move delivery services built around different vehicle sizes and moving scenarios. Each Transportify service fits a specific type of load or timeline, so picking the right one keeps your move efficient without overpaying.

• Standard immediate point to point delivery: This covers one pickup and one drop-off at the base fare plus distance. The price already includes the vehicle, the driver, fuel, and loading and unloading service. Immediate booking handles urgent or unexpected house moves better.
• Full Day booking: This reserves the vehicle for a 10-hour shift at a fixed rate, priced at ₱2,800 for an L300 van. It suits moves that need repeat trips, since the rate doesn’t change with the number of runs.
• Scheduled booking: This locks a vehicle to a specific date and time slot up to 14 days ahead. If you are moving to a condominium, this lets you plan your move date by getting permits from the admin.
• Extra Service: This covers add-ons such as an extra helper covering two destinations, a push cart for bulkier or heavier loads, and a request for your driver to carry a valid ID which some condominiums require under their strict entry policies. You can find these options in the Transportify app under the extra services tab.
• Extra Load: This raises a closed van’s capacity past the 2,000 kilogram standard, with the 3,000 kilogram tier starting at ₱2,400 and the 4,000 kilogram tier at ₱2,700 base fare.

Transportify’s services can accommodate different household sizes, so matching your load to the right one on this list is the fastest way to avoid overpaying on a moving day.

How Long Does a Typical House Move Take?

A typical house move takes 4 to 8 hours when both addresses sit in the same city. A studio or one-bedroom unit finishes closer to 4 hours. A full house with appliances and furniture runs closer to 8. Households with more furniture or appliances take longer to load and unload, even if the drive itself is short, since the crew needs time to wrap and secure each item properly.

Can Movers Handle Moves Between Different Cities?

Yes, movers handle moves between different cities, and Transportify covers city-to-city household transfers across Luzon along with Visayas and Mindanao. These trips use the same booking process as an in-city move, just with a longer distance factored into the per-kilometer charge. Intercity moves take longer overall because of the added travel time. No one from your household can ride along with the cargo, so plan your own travel separately. Interisland house moving work a bit differently because you have to be onboard on a ship. No one from your household can ride along with the cargo so plan your own travel separately.

Can I Schedule a House Move on Weekends or Holidays?

Yes, you can schedule a house move on weekends or holidays, because Transportify operates 24 hours a day. Weekends tend to be a popular choice for households where family members work Monday through Friday and can only supervise a move on Saturday or Sunday. Holiday bookings can see higher demand around long weekends and the December break. Booking a few days ahead improved your chances of getting your preferred vehicle.

What Vehicle Size do I Need for Moving Household Belongings?

The vehicle size you need for moving household belongings depends mainly on your cargo size. A one-bedroom may need an L300 or Van and a full house may need a Closed Van or 6-Wheeler Forward Truck. Transportify gives you a full range of options, including a Small Pickup, Light Van, and Wing Van. If you’re unsure which size to book, list out your major furniture pieces and appliances first to get a complete idea of how much cargo space your items will be needing.
