Packers and Movers in Kolkata Price List
Packers and Movers in Kolkata Price List
What does it cost to move in Kolkata? Honestly, it depends. The size of your home, how far the goods have to travel, and how much packing is needed all change the number. Below, APM India Packers and Movers shares its estimated charges for household, car and bike moves. You'll also see how office moves and long-distance moves are priced. Think of these figures as a starting point. A proper quotation comes after.
Household Shifting in Kolkata
For moves inside Kolkata, household shifting charges depend on the size of your home. A 1 BHK, 2 BHK, and 3 BHK require different packing materials, labour, and transportation arrangements. Below are the estimated local shifting charges:
| House Size | Estimated Price |
|---|---|
| 1 BHK | Rs. 3,500–6,500 |
| 2 BHK | Rs. 6,000–10,500 |
| 3 BHK | Rs. 9,000–16,000 |
Small local household shifts in Kolkata generally start from around Rs. 3,500. The final cost depends on the distance between locations, the volume of household goods, packing requirements, and any additional services needed.
An Example
Say a 2 BHK is moving from Salt Lake to Rajarhat. For a local move like this, the estimate sits at Rs. 6,000-10,500. A family doing a similar Salt Lake to Rajarhat move told us the team arrived on time and handled everything, even a piano, without damage.
These numbers are a starting point, not a locked-in price. Once we've seen your inventory, the packing it needs and how easy both addresses are to reach, the figure can move either way.
Moving Out of Kolkata
Moving household goods from Kolkata to another city? The estimated transportation charges per kilometre depend on the total distance of the move. Here are the approximate rates:
| Moving Distance | Estimated Price Per Km |
|---|---|
| Up to 200 km | Rs. 15–20 per km |
| 200–500 km | Rs. 18–24 per km |
| 500 km and above | Rs. 20–28 per km |
The final moving cost depends on the total distance, volume of household goods, packing requirements, and any additional services required.
Car and Bike Transport from Kolkata
Planning to transport your car or bike from Kolkata to another city? The estimated vehicle transportation charges are listed below:
| Vehicle Type | Estimated Price |
|---|---|
| Car Transport | Rs. 6,000–12,000 |
| Bike Transport | Rs. 2,500–5,500 |
Car and bike transport charges vary depending on the vehicle model, transportation method, and destination. We regularly arrange vehicle transportation from Kolkata to cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Patna, Guwahati, and Siliguri.

Office Shifting
Offices get priced after a survey. Computers, workstations, files and furniture all need different handling. So a small office full of equipment can cost more than a bigger one with hardly anything to move. Once we've seen the space, the shift is planned around your working hours. One Park Street to Sector V office move had every workstation tagged. That kept the setup quick at the other end.
Which Vehicle Does Your Move Need?
Truck size changes the price more than most people think. That's why the vehicle is matched to your load before any quote goes out. A small flat? A smaller truck is enough. A bigger home or a long-distance move needs more room. Monsoon in Kolkata can slow loading and the road too, so furniture and cartons get waterproof covers wherever needed.
What Is Included
Packing materials come with every shift. Think corrugated cartons, bubble wrap, foam sheets, stretch film, waterproof covers and edge protectors. Transport is GPS-enabled, and transit insurance is available. A dedicated move coordinator stays in touch with you throughout. And no hidden charges.
What Affects Your Final Moving Cost
Picture two flats in the same building. One is on the fourth floor with no lift, the other on the ground floor. In the first, the crew carries every box down the stairs, which means more hands and more hours. How far the truck can park from your door matters too.
Kolkata adds a few of its own. Lanes around Shyambazar can be narrow, so a big truck may have to wait on the main road. EM Bypass can get busy and slow things down. Many societies in Salt Lake, New Town and Rajarhat want permission before a moving truck enters. And in heavy rain, access may need planning. One Behala to New Town move had very little truck parking, so unloading was rescheduled and everything was covered against the rain. The items matter too. Glass and electronics take more wrapping, and a wardrobe that has to be opened up and refitted means extra labour. Shifting beyond the city, booking at the last minute, storing goods for a few days or adding insurance will each raise the bill. Got a quote that's much lower than the others? Ask what they've left out. Floor charges, long-carry charges, dismantling and tolls are usually the first to disappear from a cheap estimate.
Cheapest Time to Move in Kolkata
Want to save on your move? Timing helps. Here's what usually works.
Weekdays over weekends
Weekend slots fill up fast. A weekday gives you more choice of timing, and the crew isn't stretched.
Month Start or Month End?
The last week of the month is our busiest. Rent agreements roll over then, so everyone wants a truck on the same few days. Early and mid month are much easier. You get the date you want, and the crew isn't rushing to the next job.
Monsoon, June to September
Wet stairs, waterlogged roads, a truck that can’t park near your gate. Rain slows a move down. Everything goes out in waterproof covers, but a late finish can still happen, so keep a spare date.
Durga Puja
Come Shashthi, pandals and processions start shutting roads, and trucks get held back for hours. Even a short drive can drag. Flexible on dates? Move before Mahalaya or after Dashami.
Book Early
Two weeks ahead is a good target. Good slots go first, and booking early often gets you more choices of date. Also, during peak periods demand and availability can affect the final cost.
Packers and Movers vs Moving Yourself: What It Really Costs
The Short Answer
Doing it yourself looks cheaper. For a small load, it can be. For a full house, usually not.
What a DIY Move Adds Up To
- A truck, plus two or three labourers at each end
- Boxes, tape, bubble wrap and foam, bought in bulk because you'll always run short
- One or two days of leave, and packing room after room at night
- Any damage, such as a cracked glass table, comes out of your pocket
What You Get With APM India Packers and Movers
- Packing material included
- A crew that packs, loads and unloads
- GPS on the vehicle, so you can see where your goods are
- Transit insurance, if you want it
- One coordinator in touch with you from start to finish
- No hidden charges in the quote
Which One Costs Less?
Short distance and a few boxes? Moving yourself may save you a bit. A full home, a long route, or anything fragile? The costs add up quickly. Ask for a quote, then put it next to your own list of expenses and compare.
