Chennai to Vizag Route at a Glance
| Road distance | About 790 – 800 km |
|---|---|
| Highway | NH16 (Chennai – Kolkata highway) |
| Route | Chennai → Gummidipoondi → Nellore → Ongole → Vijayawada → Eluru → Rajahmundry → Anakapalli → Visakhapatnam |
| Household goods transit | Allow an indicative 3 – 5 days for a dedicated truck or 5 – 8 days for a shared load when planning. Confirm the available dispatch and delivery dates in your quote. |
| 1 BHK charges | ₹16,500 – ₹23,500 (estimate) |
| 2 BHK charges | ₹24,500 – ₹34,000 (estimate) |
| Car transport | ₹11,000 – ₹27,000 depending on the model |
A truck carrying household goods doesn't run like a car. Drivers take rest stops, trucks have entry timings in some city areas, and a shared truck may unload other customers' goods at Vijayawada or Rajahmundry on the way. The delivery window allows for the actual transport arrangement and receiving hours.
Planning a Job Transfer or a Family Move to Vizag
A move to staff accommodation at Ukkunagaram needs a different receiving plan from a flat near Rushikonda or a family home elsewhere in the city. Share the full address and pincode when asking for a quote, along with the floor, lift access and the person who will receive the goods.
For a job transfer, match the delivery window to your accommodation handover rather than only your joining date. If you will initially stay in a guest house, separate the essentials you need immediately and discuss storage for the rest before dispatch. Families moving back from Chennai should check which furniture will fit alongside the items already in the Vizag house.
Packing for the Chennai to Vizag Journey
Packing for this coastal route needs to account for damp air as well as handling on the road. Dry clothes, books and kitchen items thoroughly before they go into cartons. Ask the packing team about suitable covers for mattresses and upholstery, cushioning for screens and glass, and protection for wooden surfaces. Wrapping an already damp item tightly can trap moisture inside.
Label cartons by room and keep a separate list of fragile items. After delivery, check the covers before opening them and unpack books, clothing and electronics promptly in a dry room. Follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions before connecting equipment that has been transported or exposed to moisture.
Chennai to Visakhapatnam Packers and Movers Charges
These published ranges help you plan your budget. Your final price depends on how much you actually have, not just the BHK size. A 2 BHK with a few cartons and one sofa costs less to move than a 2 BHK with a full modular wardrobe set, a 7-seater sofa and 60 boxes of books.

Part Load or Full Truck: Which One Suits You?
| Shared Truck (Part Load) | Dedicated Truck (Full Load) | |
|---|---|---|
| Good for | Bachelors, small 1 BHK, a few furniture items, 10 – 20 boxes | Full 2 BHK, 3 BHK or villa |
| Approx. cost | ₹12,000 – ₹18,000 | ₹26,000 – ₹48,000 |
| Transit | Indicative 5 – 8 days, as the truck waits to fill up and may stop on the way | Indicative 3 – 5 days; confirm destination access |
| Handling | Your goods share space, so labelling and separation matter more | Only your goods are in the truck |
If you're not in a hurry and don't have much, part load saves a good amount. If you're shifting a full house or have an exact joining date in Vizag, a dedicated truck is usually worth the extra money.
What Pushes the Price Up or Down
- Volume of goods – the single biggest factor. More cartons and furniture means a bigger truck.
- Floors and lifts – a 4th floor flat with no lift in Mylapore takes more labour than a ground floor house in Tambaram.
- Packing type – basic packing vs. extra bubble wrap, corrugated sheets and wooden crating for glass tops or artwork.
- Dismantling – beds, wardrobes and dining tables that need to be opened and fixed again.
- Season and date – month-end and the April – June transfer season get busy, so trucks book faster.
- Vehicles and storage – car, bike or a few weeks of storage are quoted separately.
Our Services from Chennai to Visakhapatnam
House Shifting Chennai to Vizag
Our team packs your kitchen, wardrobes, electronics and furniture at your Chennai home, loads it, and unloads it room-wise in Vizag. Tell us beforehand if you want beds and wardrobes opened and fixed again, so it goes into the quote and the right people are sent.

Sending your car by carrier saves you the long drive, fuel and toll planning. We move cars by carrier truck. Before loading, we note down the car's condition, scratches and odometer reading with you, and check it again with you at delivery.
Bike Transport Chennai to Vizag
Bikes are wrapped, fuel preparation follows the carrier’s instructions, and mirrors are removed if needed before loading. You can send the bike along with your household goods or on its own.
Storage

Areas We Deliver to in Visakhapatnam
We deliver across Vizag city and the surrounding areas, including:
- MVP Colony
- Madhurawada
- Rushikonda & Yendada
- Seethammadhara
- Dwaraka Nagar
- Akkayyapalem
- Gajuwaka
- Pendurthi

Many new gated communities in Madhurawada, Yendada and Kommadi have fixed shifting hours and lift booking rules. Check with your association office before the moving date and share the timings with us, so the truck doesn't end up waiting outside the gate.
Pickup Areas in Chennai
We pick up from all over Chennai, including Velachery, OMR, Sholinganallur, Anna Nagar, Adyar, Porur, Tambaram, Ambattur and Medavakkam.
Delivery on a sloping or narrow approach road
If your home is on a slope around the Seethammadhara or Arilova side, send a map pin and clear photos of the approach. The team needs to check where a loaded truck can stop and how far the goods must be carried. Confirm any smaller-vehicle transfer or extra handling in the quote before the goods leave Chennai.
Moving into a Naval Area or Steel Plant Township?
A lot of people shifting from Chennai to Vizag are on transfer to the naval establishments or Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. Delivery inside these areas needs a vehicle and labour entry pass, and that pass has to be arranged by you through your unit or township office, not by the mover.
Apply for it a few days early. Once you have the approval, share the gate details, permitted timings and the names or ID details they ask for, and we'll plan the truck's arrival around that.
Please note: we are not IBA-approved. If your employer reimburses shifting costs, check their rules first and tell us which bills and documents you need. We'll give you the quote, invoice and goods list in the format you ask for.
Rain, Humidity and Cyclone Season on This Route
Both Chennai and Vizag are coastal cities, and October to December brings the northeast monsoon and the cyclone season along this coast. If your move falls in these months:
- Ask for extra plastic wrapping on mattresses, sofas and wooden furniture.
- Keep a day or two of buffer in your plans. Heavy rain can hold up trucks on NH16.
- Don't pack wet or damp clothes. In a closed truck for a few days, they'll smell and can spoil other things.
- Keep the fridge door open for a day before packing so it dries out completely.
Vizag stays humid most of the year, so open your boxes within a few days of delivery, especially leather items, books and electronics.
When a weather warning affects the move
If an official severe-weather warning affects either city or the route, speak to the coordinator before packing or dispatch. Confirm whether the pickup or receiving date needs to change, where goods will stay during a delay and whether any storage or redelivery charges apply. Keep medicines, documents and enough everyday essentials with you for a delayed arrival.
How Your Chennai to Visakhapatnam Move Works

- Delivery in Vizag. Goods are unloaded room-wise and checked against the list. Any issue is noted on the spot.
A Few Tips Before You Shift to Vizag
- Book 2 – 3 weeks ahead, more if you're moving at month-end or in May – June.
- Keep gold, cash, documents and medicines with you. Don't send them in the truck.
- Sell or give away what you don't need. Every extra carton adds to the bill over 800 km.
- Get your Vizag house cleaned before delivery, so goods go straight into the right rooms.
- Take photos of costly items like the TV, fridge and washing machine before packing.
- Carry one "first day" bag with bedsheets, a few utensils, chargers and toiletries. The truck will reach a few days after you.
