Our truck is available for local moves near our Lower Hutt facility, specifically within the Wellington area. It cannot be taken past Porirua or Upper Hutt.
The truck is available for a 4-hour time slot. Monday – Saturday, 9am – 1pm / 1pm – 5pm.
To make the most out of the time allocated, we ask you position your goods close to where you will park the truck. Please ensure you are organised for the move ahead of your booking.
If you need extra time or wish to book it for a Sunday, please contact us to make arrangements.
Our truck is designed for ease of use, featuring automatic transmission and a reversing camera. It’s suitable for anyone with a standard car licence.
The cargo space measures 3.1m (L) x 1.7m (W) x 1.8m (H). We include fuel, insurance, moving blankets, tie-down ropes, and an optional fridge trolley for your convenience.
You can reverse the truck to our undercover loading dock, and it’s nearly seamless with the ground floor.

Our Free Move-In Truck is, surprise, free. It includes fuel, KMs, fuel, insurance, and all those other hidden extras.
The free truck hire is available for morning (9 am – 1 pm) or afternoon (1 pm – 5 pm) bookings six days a week. If you need more time or want to book on a Sunday, no problem. Just let us know.
You’ll pick up our truck from our self-storage facility at 32 Nevis St, Petone. Our friendly on-site manager, Tom, will show you the basics and ensure you’re comfortable driving it.
Our box truck is fully enclosed and equipped with a large rear loading door & smaller side door for effortless loading of heavy items. It is straightforward to drive because it’s automatic, has a reversing camera, and can be driven on a standard car licence. Furthermore, the truck has a fridge trolley, moving blankets, and tie-down ropes for secure transportation.
When you’re back with the truck, we will help you reverse it to our undercover loading dock, where you can then unload the truck using our oversized trolleys and goods lift for upper-level units.
Our complimentary truck service is specifically designed to facilitate smooth and hassle-free moves into our spacious storage units, starting from 2.25m² and larger. Our commitment to providing convenient storage solutions makes us a leader in the Wellington self-storage industry.
Based out of our Lower Hutt facility, our free truck hire is strategically available to local residents. To ensure maximum efficiency and truck service quality, we have a geographical service limit, restricting the use of the truck to areas within Wellington, Porirua, and Upper Hutt.
Understanding the complexities of moving, we have streamlined the booking process by offering our free moving truck on a first-come, first-served basis. This policy is a cornerstone of our customer-first approach, ensuring that every client has fair and equal access to this valuable service. To align with your moving schedule and reduce the stress of relocation, we advise booking our truck in advance, guaranteeing its availability on your preferred date, smoothening your Wellington moving experience.
We aren’t a truck hire company, and only maintain a single box truck. As such, a nominal fee may apply if booking the truck for instances other than moving into our storage facility. We encourage you to take advantage of our free trailer use, and we can kit it out with tarp, rope, and moving blankets.
To take advantage of our Free Move-In Truck service, a signed storage agreement with StoreStuff Self Storage is a prerequisite.
Embarking on a move can be a challenge, especially if you’re in-between Wellington flats. Utilising free truck hire from StoreStuff for your move-in significantly simplifies the process. As one of our customers said, with some planning and organisation, your moving experience can be “less stressful and pretty much a delight just because of how easy it was”. Here are some great tips to maximise the efficiency of your move to our storage facility:
Early Planning: Start your moving preparations in advance. Create a quick plan outlining your moving timeline and packing schedule. This early organisation helps both you and us, as we can ensure everything proceeds smoothly. This is especially important on our facility’s busiest day, Saturdays.
Item Organisation: Organising and label your boxes, and keep a rough track of what will be stored at our storage unit. Not only is this handy for quick loading and unloading, it also allows for easy placement and retrieval of items within the storage unit. What if you place an important box at the back of your unit?
Furniture Disassembly: Disassemble large furniture pieces to ease transport and make the best use of space in the move-in truck. This also allows for more efficient use of space within your storage unit, helping you store more items while maintaining easy access.
Plan Truck Time-slot: Assess the volume of items you need to move and consider whether the standard 4-hour time-slot will suffice. If you think you may need more time, let us know, and we can arrange another slot or provide a key return box for after-hours. Book your rental truck early to secure the appropriate size for your needs. A customer of ours recommends to “check first for availability and book in as it is very popular”, especially on Saturdays.
Strategic Packing: Efficiently utilise the space in your rental truck. Begin with your largest and heaviest items, packing them closely together. Protect your belongings with our provided furniture blankets and secure them with rope against the hooks on the inside of the truck. This minimises movement and potential damage during transit.
Reliable Assistance: Utilise any provided loading tools like moving trolleys or dollies. You are welcome to borrow one from our storage facility, just let us know. These aids make it easier and safer to load and unload bulky items. Don’t hesitate to ask family and friends for help. Extra hands not only speed the moving process but also add an element of fun to it. Their assistance will accelerate the moving process, reduce the risk of injury or damage, and make loading StoreStuff’s rental truck more efficient and enjoyable.
Safe Driving: Although our truck is automatic, easy to drive, and has a reversing camera, we want you to be comfortable. Take it for test-run around our enormous loading bay.
Safe Parking: Ensure you have a legal and safe parking spot for the truck at your Wellington address. This helps comply with local parking regulations, avoiding any last-minute logistical challenges.
By following these tips and taking advantage of StoreStuff Self Storage’s complimentary move-in truck, you can enjoy a well-organised, safe, and efficient move into your storage unit. This integrated approach ensures every aspect of your move, from packing at your original location to storing items in your unit, is managed effectively
