Shifting your house from Chennai to Madurai covers roughly 460 km by road, but the real work happens before the truck leaves. Every item has to be packed properly, loaded in the right order and handed over safely at your new home in Madurai. We do house shifting, office shifting, bike and car transport on this route, starting from any area in Chennai like Tambaram, Velachery, Anna Nagar or OMR.
Tell us what you are moving and where, and we will send you a written quote with packing, labour and transport shown separately. No surprise charges at the time of unloading.
Share inventory, both addresses, preferred dates and access. Review the itemised moving scope and terms before booking.
The road journey generally runs through Villupuram, Perambalur and Trichy. Delivery time mainly depends on whether you book a full truck for your goods or share space with other customers.

Madurai is not like Chennai when it comes to unloading. A few things we have learnt from moving families here:
This is the question most customers ask us, so here is a simple answer.
| Full Truck (Dedicated) | Part Load (Shared) | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | 2 BHK, 3 BHK, villa, office shifting | 1 BHK, bachelor shifting, a few items |
| Truck | Only your goods in the truck | Your goods share space with other customers' goods |
| Delivery | More direct delivery schedule | Wider delivery window |
| Cost | Higher | Lower, you pay for the space you use |
| Handling | Usually fewer transfers; confirm the booked arrangement | May be reloaded or transferred at a hub on the way |
If you have a fixed joining date or small kids at home, a full truck is usually worth the extra money. If you are moving a few cartons and a bed and can wait some days, part load saves money. We will tell you honestly which suits your goods.
Use these estimated household and vehicle rates to plan your budget. Your quote is based on the items, packing and access at both addresses.

The household row's packing, labour and transport components make up its displayed total; do not add the total to those components.

The ranges above are for normal households. Your final price can go up or down because of:
GST and toll charges will be clearly mentioned in your written quote, either as included or extra. Ask us if anything is not clear before you confirm.
You can send your bike along with your household goods in the same truck, or separately. Bikes are wrapped with foam and bubble sheet, mirrors and loose parts are packed apart, and the petrol tank should be nearly empty at pickup. Please keep a copy of the RC, insurance and your ID ready, these go with the vehicle.
For cars, we use a closed or open car carrier depending on availability and your budget. Before loading, we note down existing scratches and dents along with photos, and you check the same at delivery in Madurai. Remove cash, valuables and personal belongings from the car.
Vehicle transport charges for Chennai to Madurai are given in the table below.
We deliver household goods to all parts of Madurai city and nearby towns, including:
Madurai and Chennai both have areas named Anna Nagar and KK Nagar. Include the city, PIN code and exact map pin in your delivery address so the destination is clear before dispatch.
Other popular Tamil Nadu routes: Chennai to Trichy, Chennai to Coimbatore, Chennai to Salem.
If you are moving back to Madurai after several years in Chennai, sort the load before the survey. Some furniture may be going to the family house and some to a new flat. Make separate lists for each address, label cartons by destination and confirm any additional unloading stop in the quote.
Measure the receiving rooms before sending large wardrobes, cots and sofas. An older family house may have different door widths and stairs from your Chennai apartment. Keep documents, medicines and the first few days' essentials with the family.
For a transfer or a new job, ask your office what documents and mover eligibility it requires before booking. Share the required invoice format and item-list details in advance. Coordinate your joining date with the key handover and unloading slot rather than assuming they can all happen together.
For a return move to Chennai for work, college or family, share the Madurai pickup address and the exact Chennai destination. Request availability and a fresh quote for that direction; vehicle arrangements and building access may differ from the outward move.
Confirm the Chennai building's lift slot, parking and unloading hours before dispatch. If a smaller vehicle is needed for the final street, agree on the handling and charge in advance. Our guides for T. Nagar, Mylapore and OMR explain local access planning.
For a 1 BHK it is usually ₹14,000 to ₹20,000, for a 2 BHK ₹20,000 to ₹29,000 and for a 3 BHK ₹29,000 to ₹41,000. This includes packing material, labour and transport. The exact amount depends on your goods, floor, lift and truck type, so we give a written quote after checking your list.
A dedicated truck offers a more direct schedule. Part load can take longer because the truck carries other shipments. We agree the pickup date and expected delivery window before booking.
It is roughly 460 km by road, depending on the pickup and delivery addresses, generally via Villupuram and Trichy. Packing, loading and unloading time are additional to the road journey.
Scooters like Activa or Access cost around ₹3,200 to ₹4,500, and normal bikes up to 150cc around ₹3,800 to ₹5,200. Bigger bikes like Royal Enfield cost ₹4,500 to ₹7,000 because they need extra packing.
A hatchback usually costs ₹6,000 to ₹8,500 and a sedan or SUV ₹8,500 to ₹13,000 by car carrier. Keep your RC, insurance and ID copy ready at pickup.
