We move customers all across New Zealand with care and efficiency. We handle the whole process for you – including ferry bookings across the Cook Strait – so you don’t have to worry about the logistics.
Our professional team ensures everything runs smoothly from pick-up to delivery, no matter where in the country you’re headed.
“Moving Memories” around the country.
When we’re moving full homes across New Zealand, we can also take care of your smaller items along the way.
For all local moves and services, we charge by the hour with a one-hour minimum, then in 15-minute increments after that. This means you’re only paying for the actual time we spend on your move – no overestimating, no guesswork. It’s a fair and flexible system that often works out much more cost-effective for our customers.
We are a registered WINZ supplier for all local and nationwide moves.
We offer two truck sizes to suit your move:
Our moving crews always work in teams of two for efficiency and Health & Safety compliance.
We charge depot to depot, meaning the time is calculated from when our team departs our depot to when they return after your job is completed.
Absolutely! Rain or shine, we keep moving. Our team is experienced in working safely in all weather conditions, and we take extra care to protect your belongings from the elements.

Your insurance options are:
Option 1: Premium Moving Insurance – We strongly advise you obtain your own private transit insurance. Van and a Man can provide enhanced cover at an additional cost. Please contact us for details and a quote.

Great question! Here are a few helpful tips:
• Be packed and ready before the team arrives.
• Label your boxes clearly by room.
• Disassemble any large furniture in advance (if you’re able to).
• Make sure driveways, hallways, and entrances are clear.
A little prep can save a lot of time – and money!
