How to Organize, Plan and Prepare for a Household Move in Adelaide

Extra equipment rental: If you are moving a lot of stuff you may want the
conveniences of a dolly, loading ramp, mattress and furniture covers, and so
on. Before you add this item to your budget, ask the truck rental company if
these extras are included in the fee.
Incidentals: Add in an extra contingency amount just in case the price of gas
goes up or if you end up needing to make some extra stops along your route. It
is always better to build extra costs in up front.
Travel to New Home
If you are moving your car along with a moving truck or van, you will need to
add in costs for transportation, lodging along the way, your meals, and more.
Transportation: If you are moving a car in addition to a moving van, add in
the costs for fuel and maintenance fees, such as oil, fluids and a check-up. If
you prefer, divide these costs into separate line items.
Lodging: Research your stops along your moving route and find out how
much lodging will cost. Determine the number of nights and the room rates
ahead of time. Use a tool such as Expedia for rates, availability, and booking.
Meals: Calculate an average cost per meal per person including drinks and
snacks.
Child or pet care: If you require any additional services to care for members
of your family either before or after your move, you should include that cost in
your budget.
Temporary housing: Will you and your family require temporary shelter at
your final destination before your home is ready? If so, you will need to factor
in those costs.
