Why Hiring a Truck from Hireace Is the Smartest Way to Move House in New Zealand

Moving house can be exciting, exhausting, and everything in between — but one thing’s for sure: having the right vehicle makes all the difference. Whether you're shifting across town or relocating to a new city, hiring a truck from Hireace is one of the easiest, most cost-effective ways to take control of your move.

As a 100% Kiwi-owned and operated business with over 25 years of experience, Hireace has helped thousands of New Zealanders move homes quickly, safely, and affordably. With 16 branches nationwide, a huge range of trucks, and flexible rental options, Hireace makes moving day simpler from start to finish.

Here’s why more Kiwis choose Hireace when it’s time to pack up and start fresh.

1. More Space to Move Everything at Once

One of the biggest advantages of hiring a truck is the space. Instead of squeezing furniture into multiple small loads or relying on a friend’s trailer, a Hireace truck gives you the room you need to move efficiently.

From compact 2-tonne trucks to large furniture trucks with tail-lifts, you can choose a size that suits your home. Fewer trips mean less stress — and more time to unpack and relax.

2. Drive on a Car Licence — No Special Licence Required

All Hireace trucks can be driven on a standard full car licence, making the process simple and accessible for everyone. Whether you're an experienced driver or tackling your first major move, you’ll find Hireace trucks surprisingly easy to handle.

Most trucks come with modern features such as:

• Automatic transmission

• Power steering

• Spacious cabins

So you can focus on getting your belongings from A to B safely.

3. Affordable Rates with No Hidden Fees

Moving house is already expensive — your truck hire shouldn’t add to the stress. Hireace is known for transparent, budget-friendly pricing with no hidden costs. You’ll see your full hire cost upfront, and with free cancellation, you have flexibility if your plans change.

Hireace also offers mid-week specials and competitive rates for both short-term and long-term hires, making it one of the most cost-effective moving solutions in the country.

4. Ideal for Long-Distance and One-Way Moves

If you're moving between cities — such as Auckland to Hamilton, Wellington to Christchurch, or Tauranga to Auckland — Hireace makes long-distance relocation simple with flexible one-way truck hire options.

Just pick up your truck at one branch and drop it off at another. No need to double back or drive unnecessary extra kilometres. It’s perfect for students, families, and professionals starting fresh in a new city.

5. Tail-Lift Trucks for Safe, Easy Lifting

Heavy furniture and appliances can turn moving day into a risky workout. Hireace’s tail-lift trucks make light work of lifting large, bulky items. The hydraulic lift platform helps you load fridges, washers, couches, and boxes safely — without straining your back or risking damage.

If you’re moving a full household, a tail-lift truck is often the smartest and safest choice.

6. Flexible Hire Periods to Match Your Move

Every move is different — and Hireace gets that. That’s why we offer half-day, full-day, weekend, and multi-day rentals.

Whether you’re planning a quick shift across town or a multi-day move across the country, Hireace gives you the flexibility to choose a timeframe that suits your schedule.

Some branches also offer after-hours pick-ups and drop-offs, giving you even more freedom on moving day.

7. Peace of Mind with Free Basic Insurance & 24/7 Roadside Assistance

Hireace provides free basic insurance for drivers over 25, with the option to reduce your excess for extra peace of mind. On top of that, you get 24/7 roadside assistance, so if anything unexpected happens during your move, help is always just a phone call away.

It’s this combination of safety, support, and reliability that keeps Kiwis coming back to Hireace for their moving needs year after year.

8. Moving Accessories Available

To make your move even easier, Hireace offers a range of accessories such as:

• Moving blankets

• Trolleys/dollies

• Tie-down straps

• Padlocks

• Boxes

These extras help protect your furniture and ensure your belongings stay secure during transit.
