Removal Costs
in Dundee
Dundee is Scotland’s fourth city with a strong student population and good A90 access to both Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
£310 – £580
Under 50 miles • 2-3 bed average
£580 – £1250
50+ miles • 2-3 bed average
The average house move cost in Dundee is £310–£580 for a typical 2–3 bed home moving locally, covering loading, transport and unloading by a professional removal company. Long-distance moves from Dundee run £580–£1250 depending on distance and volume.
Dundee local moves run £310–£580 for a typical 2–3 bed, and the housing stock splits the job into two very different kinds of work. The West End and Hawkhill are dense with Victorian tenements where everything comes down a shared stone stair, and crews price by the flight — a third-floor flat with no lift can add an hour at each end. Broughty Ferry villas and the waterfront new-builds are the opposite: driveway parking, level access, and jobs that finish inside half a day. Tell the firm which one you are before they quote, because the difference between them is worth more than £100.
Dundee sits in the middle of the A90 corridor, which keeps longer moves competitive. Perth is barely more than a local job at £290–£490 over 22 miles, Edinburgh runs £400–£690, Aberdeen £420–£730 and Glasgow £470–£820. The one date to avoid is the university intake: Dundee and Abertay both fill in mid-to-late September, and every van in the city is spoken for in the fortnight either side. Book six weeks out for a September move, or take a mid-week date in winter and pay the bottom of the range.

Moving Tips for Dundee
- 1
Confirm parking and any access restrictions at both ends of your move in Dundee before the day - older streets and apartment blocks can slow loading.
- 2
Mid-week, mid-month moves in Dundee are typically 10-20% cheaper than Friday or end-of-month slots.
- 3
If you're moving from a flat, check whether the building has a goods lift or restricted move-in hours.
- 4
Always compare quotes from at least three local Dundee firms - prices vary widely between operators.
Moving and Storage in Dundee
If there's a gap between moving out and moving in, most removal companies serving Dundee offer removals with storage: your belongings are loaded once into a sealed container, stored, and delivered when you're ready. Expect the transport leg to cost about the same as a standard local move, plus typically £20–£40 per week per container for the storage itself.
Containerised storage through your remover halves the handling compared with filling a self-storage unit yourself — and if you book both moves with the same firm, ask for a discount on the second leg. Full details in our moving to storage cost guide.
