“Near me” is really a question about travel costs
Every mover in Auckland will tell you they cover Auckland. What actually differs is where the truck starts the day, because that is what you end up paying for. We charge it as a single flat callout fee rather than burying it in the hourly rate, so you can see it.
Wherever you are, the callout is $80 + GST for two movers and a truck. In the outer Auckland areas the hourly rate steps up into a zone:
| Zone | 2 movers, per hour | Callout | Areas |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auckland metro | from $160 + GST | $80 + GST | Central, North Shore, West and East Auckland |
| Tier 2 | $200 + GST | $80 + GST | Papakura, Silverdale, Dairy Flat, Warkworth, Wellsford, Waiwera, Waimauku, Helensville, Tahekeroa, Kaukapakapa, Riverhead, Beachlands, Maraetai, Whangaparaoa, Orewa, Stanmore Bay, Red Beach |
| Tier 3 | $200 + GST | $80 + GST | Pukekohe, Waiuku, Tuakau, Pokeno, Karaka |
Hamilton works from the Hamilton base, with a flat callout of $80 + GST for two movers wherever you are in the Waikato zones. Every one of these figures, and the full rate table, is on our pricing page.

Questions people ask before they call
- Where are you based?
- Two depots. Auckland is 8/186 Target Road, Wairau Valley on the North Shore, and we run a second base in Hamilton. Crews and trucks start from whichever depot is closer to you.
- Do you cover my area?
- We cover all of Auckland and the Waikato, and we take wider North Island work from Taupo up to Cape Reinga. If you are outside Auckland and the Waikato it is still worth asking, because long-distance legs are quoted individually rather than turned away.
- How does distance affect what I pay?
- Mostly it does not. The callout is a flat $80 + GST for two movers wherever you are, and the hourly rate is the same across Auckland and Hamilton. Only the outer Auckland areas carry a higher hourly rate, and all of those figures are published on our pricing page.
- How quickly can you get to me?
- We run 7 days a week, 9am to 7pm, and can often cover short-notice jobs in the same week. Fridays and month-end are the first to fill, so midweek dates are the easiest to get at short notice.
- Are you actually local, or a franchise?
- Local. Specialist Movers is KB Logistics Limited, founded in 2023, running our own trucks and our own crews from our own depots. The crew that quotes your job is the crew that turns up to it.
- Do you charge more if I am far from your depot?
- Only in the outer areas, and we publish exactly how much rather than adding it at invoice time. The callout is the same flat fee everywhere, but the outer zones carry a higher hourly rate, because the truck and crew are tied up travelling. Everything is quoted in writing before you book.
