Moving charges in Guwahati depend on three things: how much you are shifting, how far it goes, and how much packing and handling you want. The tables below give real 2026 ranges from verified movers, so you know a fair price before you talk to anyone.
Treat the ranges as a guide, not a final bill. The lower end is for a lighter load and easy ground-floor access; the higher end covers full packing and difficult access. A quick survey gives your exact price.
What changes the price in Guwahati
Guwahati is hillier than it looks on a map and that shows up in the labour line. Parts of Kahilipara and Chandmari sit on slopes where a vehicle stops short of the door and the team carries the last stretch. Along GS Road through Ganeshguri, Six Mile and Beltola, traffic is the problem instead. Movers load early or late to avoid the middle of the day, so confirm your slot rather than assume it.
Intercity work is the bigger variable here. Road freight between Guwahati and the rest of the country squeezes through the narrow Siliguri route. So a move to Kolkata or Delhi is less flexible than the straight-line distance suggests, and heavy monsoon weeks can slow it further. Kolkata is the most frequent departure and the easiest to club into a shared load. Ask your mover to price both a dedicated vehicle and a shared load before deciding.
Movers and packers Guwahati price list: house shifting by home size
Local moves stay within about 15 km of Guwahati. Intercity prices assume a typical 1,090 km trip and change with the real distance.
| Home size | Local move | Intercity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RK / Studio | ₹1,155–₹1,855 | ₹8,680–₹13,895 |
| 1 BHK | ₹1,526–₹2,450 | ₹10,556–₹16,905 |
| 2 BHK | ₹2,258–₹3,605 | ₹13,545–₹21,665 |
| 3 BHK | ₹2,958–₹4,725 | ₹14,245–₹22,785 |
| 4 BHK | ₹4,389–₹7,035 | ₹17,934–₹28,700 |
| 5 BHK / Villa | ₹5,110–₹8,190 | ₹20,160–₹32,270 |
| Office / Commercial | ₹3,657–₹5,845 | ₹14,945–₹23,905 |
All figures exclude 18% GST. A free survey confirms the exact, itemised amount.
Cost by distance
The same household, priced across common distances from Guwahati. Longer moves cost more because of fuel, tolls, driver time and a bigger truck.
| Home size | Local | ~250 km | ~500 km | ~1,000 km | ~1,500 km |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK | ₹1,526–₹2,450 | ₹3,500–₹5,600 | ₹5,600–₹8,960 | ₹9,800–₹15,680 | ₹14,000–₹22,400 |
| 2 BHK | ₹2,258–₹3,605 | ₹4,725–₹7,560 | ₹7,350–₹11,760 | ₹12,600–₹20,160 | ₹17,850–₹28,560 |
| 3 BHK | ₹2,958–₹4,725 | ₹5,425–₹8,680 | ₹8,050–₹12,880 | ₹13,300–₹21,280 | ₹18,550–₹29,680 |
Ranges exclude GST and full-packing upgrades. Vehicle transport is priced separately below.
Per-km rates by load size
Every figure above is built the same way: a fixed charge that covers packing, loading and unloading, plus a rate for each kilometre travelled. Here is the split for Guwahati.
| Load size | Base from | Per km |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RK / Studio | ₹1,050 | ₹7 |
| 1 BHK | ₹1,400 | ₹8.40 |
| 2 BHK | ₹2,100 | ₹10.50 |
| 3 BHK | ₹2,800 | ₹10.50 |
| 4 BHK | ₹4,200 | ₹12.60 |
| 5 BHK / Villa | ₹4,900 | ₹14 |
| Office / Commercial | ₹3,500 | ₹10.50 |
| Car transport | ₹350 | ₹5.60 |
| Bike transport | ₹350 | ₹2.80 |
These are starting rates and exclude 18% GST. Worked for Guwahati: a 2 BHK moving 15 km across town comes to ₹2,258, and the same home on a 1,090 km trip comes to ₹13,545, both at the lower end. The upper end of every range on this page runs up to 60% higher once full packing, stairs or difficult access are involved. A 2 BHK and a 3 BHK carry the same per-km rate because the extra cost of a larger home is in the handling, not the driving.
Vehicle transport rates
Send your car or bike on an insured carrier instead of driving it yourself. Prices are by distance from Guwahati.
| Vehicle | ~250 km | ~500 km | ~1,000 km | ~1,500 km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bike / scooter | ₹1,050–₹1,680 | ₹1,750–₹2,800 | ₹3,150–₹5,040 | ₹4,550–₹7,280 |
| Car / sedan | ₹1,750–₹2,800 | ₹3,150–₹5,040 | ₹5,950–₹9,520 | ₹8,750–₹14,000 |
| SUV / MUV | ₹2,205–₹3,535 | ₹3,955–₹6,335 | ₹7,455–₹11,935 | ₹10,955–₹17,535 |
Open or covered carrier, GPS tracking and transit insurance on every booking. Premium or vintage cars are priced after a survey.
What truck size will I need?
A rough guide to the truck your load needs. Your mover confirms the right size after the survey.
| Load | Recommended vehicle | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RK / 1 BHK | Tata Ace or 14 ft tempo | light load, single trip |
| 2 BHK | 17 ft closed truck | standard household |
| 3 BHK | 19–22 ft container | heavier load, more furniture |
| 4 BHK | 22–32 ft container | full home, dedicated vehicle |
| 5 BHK / Villa | 32 ft container or two vehicles | multi-floor, larger team |
| Long-distance interstate | 32 ft multi-axle container | GPS-tracked, own truck or shared |
Packing material by home size
Basic packing is already inside the moving charge, so it is worth knowing what that covers. This is the material a mover brings for a typical home in Guwahati.
| Home size | Cartons | Wrap and covers |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RK / Studio | 17 cartons (7 small, 7 medium, 3 large) | 2 bubble rolls, 2 tape rolls, 2 furniture covers |
| 1 BHK | 30 cartons (12 small, 12 medium, 6 large) | 3 bubble rolls, 3 tape rolls, 3 furniture covers |
| 2 BHK | 50 cartons (20 small, 20 medium, 10 large) | 5 bubble rolls, 5 tape rolls, 5 furniture covers |
| 3 BHK | 75 cartons (30 small, 30 medium, 15 large) | 8 bubble rolls, 7 tape rolls, 8 furniture covers |
| 4 BHK+ / Villa | 109 cartons (44 small, 44 medium, 21 large) | 12 bubble rolls, 10 tape rolls, 11 furniture covers |
Counts are estimated from the volume a home of that size typically holds, so a sparsely furnished flat needs less. Fragile-heavy homes need more wrap, which is most of why full professional packing adds 10 to 15 percent.

Cheapest month to move in Guwahati
Timing changes the price. The cheapest months to move in Guwahati are usually January and February, and the monsoon weeks of July and August, when demand dips. Rates climb through the summer of April to June and around Diwali in October and November.
A mid-month weekday is almost always cheaper than a month-end weekend. If your dates are flexible, share two or three options and let your mover pick the best slot.
Guwahati moving charges FAQs
How much do packers and movers charge in Guwahati?
For a local move within Guwahati, a 1 BHK usually costs ₹1,526–₹2,450, a 2 BHK ₹2,258–₹3,605 and a 3 BHK ₹2,958–₹4,725, plus 18% GST. Your exact charge depends on how much you are shifting, the packing you want and access at both ends.
Why do moves from Guwahati to the rest of India need more planning than the distance suggests?
Because road freight in and out of the Northeast passes through the narrow Siliguri route. That limits how a truck can be routed, and the route slows down in heavy monsoon weeks. Movers build that into the schedule rather than the rate. Book earlier than you would elsewhere and keep a spare day at the delivery end.
What is the movers and packers Guwahati price list for 2026?
This page is the full price list: cost by home size, cost by distance, the per-km rates behind those figures, vehicle transport, packing material, add-on charges and a worked sample bill. A local 1 BHK in Guwahati starts at ₹1,526 before 18% GST. The figures come from live partner pricing rather than a fixed tariff, so compare a few quotes before you book.
What is the per-km rate for packers and movers in Guwahati?
A 2 BHK works out at ₹10.50 per kilometre on top of a ₹2,100 base charge, and a 1 BHK at ₹8.40 on a ₹1,400 base. The base covers packing, loading and unloading, which happen whether you move down the road or across the country, so short moves look expensive per kilometre and long ones look cheap.
Is GST included in the moving charges?
No. The ranges shown here exclude GST. Packers and movers add 18% GST on the labour and transport, and it appears as a separate line on your invoice. The sample bill above shows how it adds up.
What is the packing charge in Guwahati?
Basic packing with cartons, bubble wrap and tape is already included in the moving charge, and the material table above shows roughly what that means for each home size. Full professional packing for fragile-heavy homes adds roughly 10 to 15 percent, since it uses more material and more time.
How is transit insurance calculated?
Transit insurance is optional and usually costs around 3 percent of the declared value of your goods. It covers damage or loss on the road. For a high-value home it is worth adding; for a light local shift many people skip it.
Which is the cheapest month to move in Guwahati?
January to February and the monsoon weeks of July to August are usually the cheapest, because demand is lower. April to June and the Diwali season of October to November are the priciest. A mid-month weekday beats a month-end weekend in any month.
How much does it cost to move from Guwahati to Gandhinagar?
A 2 BHK move from Guwahati to Gandhinagar (about 2,485 km) costs about ₹28,193–₹45,115 plus GST, with 2–3 days transit. See the Guwahati to Gandhinagar page for the full breakdown and free quotes.
What size truck will I need for a 2 BHK?
A 2 BHK usually fits a 17 ft closed truck. A 1 RK or 1 BHK goes in a Tata Ace or 14 ft tempo, while a 3 BHK or villa needs a 19 to 32 ft container. Your mover confirms the size after the survey.
Are there any hidden charges?
There should not be. A good mover gives an itemised quote after a free survey and flags extras like stair-carrying without a lift or long carry up front. Compare quotes on ShiftingHub and you only pay the partner you pick.
