Quick answer before you compare quotes
For Delhi to Chennai, pick a packers and movers company that has run this 2,200 km route, names its Chennai unloading crew and writes shared or dedicated truck on the quote. Get up to 3 verified quotes here. Typical charges are Rs 25,000 to Rs 36,000 for a 1 BHK, Rs 34,000 to Rs 52,000 for a 2 BHK and Rs 48,000 to Rs 74,000 for a 3 BHK.
What does a 2 BHK shift cost on this route?
Usually Rs 34,000 to Rs 52,000 on a shared truck and Rs 50,000 to Rs 70,000 on a dedicated truck. Floor access, packing grade and vehicle add-ons decide where your quote falls.
How many days does it take?
6 to 8 days by dedicated truck for the 2,200 km route. Shared or part load usually takes longer, since dispatch waits for load matching. Always ask for loading, dispatch and delivery as three separate dates.
Shared, dedicated or part load?
Part load (Rs 25,000 to Rs 36,000) suits few items with flexible dates. A full family home or a fixed Chennai joining date is safer on a dedicated truck with a written dispatch day.
Can my car or bike go along?
Yes, as a separate written line. Scooty or commuter bike usually runs Rs 7,500 to Rs 9,500; hatchback or small car runs Rs 15,000 to Rs 19,000. Ask for handover photos at pickup.

Planning ranges by home size and truck mode. The written quote settles on inventory, floor, lift, truck mode, GST and insurance; the detailed bill breakdown further down the page shows exactly where the number moves.
| Load size | Shared / part load | Dedicated truck | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK | Rs 25,000 to Rs 36,000 | Rs 36,000 to Rs 50,000 | Small flat |
| 2 BHK | Rs 34,000 to Rs 52,000 | Rs 50,000 to Rs 70,000 | Family inventory |
| 3 BHK | Rs 48,000 to Rs 74,000 | Rs 70,000 to Rs 1,02,000 | Full home |
| 4 BHK or villa | Rs 78,000 to Rs 1,15,000 | Rs 1,02,000 to Rs 1,55,000 | Large inventory |
| Small office | Rs 50,000 to Rs 95,000 | Rs 82,000 to Rs 1,45,000 | Office assets and files |

Every range here comes from the printed rate card and vehicle table on this page. A written quote still needs your goods list, floor and lift at both ends, and the Chennai society rules. See how ShiftCompare calculates charges.
| Vehicle | Cost range | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Scooty or commuter bike | Rs 7,500 to Rs 9,500 | Crate or wrap, mirror cover and scratch photos at pickup. |
| Heavy bike | Rs 9,500 to Rs 12,000 | Extra lashing and padding for the highway run. |
| Hatchback or small car | Rs 15,000 to Rs 19,000 | Open carrier, condition report and fuel level written. |
| Sedan or SUV | Rs 19,000 to Rs 25,000 | More carrier space; ask about a closed carrier for a premium car. |
GST is usually 5 percent for transport-only service and 18 percent for full packing and shifting. Get the GSTIN, invoice name and tax basis before paying, and run the number through the Verify Packers Movers tool. The truck may need e-way bill paperwork depending on goods value. Transit insurance makes sense for TVs, appliances, glass, bikes and cars, so declare a realistic value and keep photos.
Pure driving time on NH44 is roughly 40 to 49 hours for a loaded truck, but a commercial household shift takes 6 to 8 days. That window covers highway packing, loading, safe driving hours with rest stops and unloading. Ask for the dispatch date and the delivery window as two separate lines.
The three-dates rule: Delhi to Chennai is about 2,200 km on NH44. A dedicated truck usually delivers in 6 to 8 days; a shared or part-load truck takes 8 to 12 days because it waits to fill.
These are not generic city listings. A card appears here only when the mover profile is marked for this route, and a rating counts only when an approved customer record ties it to this corridor.

We stay in the deal till delivery
We do not just pass on your number. If a verified packers and movers company delays your shipment on this route or changes the bill at the Chennai gate, the ShiftCompare team steps in with the company on your behalf, using the written quote you agreed.
Your goods share truck space with other shipments on the same corridor. Cheapest per item for a few cartons or single furniture pieces, but the delivery window widens and dispatch waits for load matching. Always ask for the dispatch day in writing.
Cheaper for light goods, but dispatch waits for load matching and delivery can stretch.
Costs more, but cuts handling and gives a planned arrival for long-distance family moves.

The rate card above gives the planning range. This is the detailed breakdown underneath it: the packing and transport split, every line a bill can carry, and the access factors that move the total.
| Home size | Packing & labour | Transport (2,200 km) | Total cost (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK | Rs 7,000 to Rs 10,000 | Rs 18,000 to Rs 26,000 | Rs 25,000 to Rs 36,000 |

| Bill line | Usual range | Why it appears |
|---|---|---|
| Packing material | Rs 5,500 to Rs 22,000 | Cartons, bubble, foam, wooden crate |
| Delhi pickup labour | Rs 4,000 to Rs 16,000 | Floor, lift, lane width, dismantling |
| Line-haul transport | Rs 22,000 to Rs 65,000 | Shared truck, dedicated truck, fuel |
| Chennai unloading | Rs 5,500 to Rs 20,000 | Society rules, floor, long carry |
| GST | 5 percent or 18 percent | Invoice basis |
| Transit insurance | 1.5 percent to 3 percent | Declared value |
| Long carry or shuttle | Rs 1,000 to Rs 7,000 | Truck cannot reach delivery gate |
| Storage delay | Rs 350 to Rs 1,000 per day | Flat handover or delivery delay |
| Vehicle handling | Rs 1,000 to Rs 4,000 | Bike packing or car pickup |
OMR and Sholinganallur: Gated community slot, lift padding and entry deposit can apply. Velachery: Street access, parking and apartment unloading time need confirmation.
A dedicated truck gives a 6 to 8 day delivery you can plan around; a shared or part-load truck saves money but waits to fill, so it takes 8 to 12 days.
Greater Kailash and South Delhi: Parking, stair carry and packing time should be checked before survey. Saket and Vasant Kunj: Lift slot, basement rule and truck standing point affect loading.
The highway distance means TVs, crockery and wooden furniture need proper wrap, not a quick cover.
Year-round; the October to December northeast monsoon means covered Chennai unloading. Book early in those weeks.
A car or bike is a separate line by carrier type, never folded into the household total.
With standard packing, a 2 BHK on this route usually lands at Rs 34,000 to Rs 52,000, or Rs 50,000 to Rs 70,000 with a dedicated truck. The final figure moves with OMR access, the floor at both ends and any car or bike you add.
Watch for GST added later, insurance markup, Chennai unloading labour, floor carry, a waiting charge, bike crating and storage. Ask for itemised billing before the truck leaves Delhi.
Usually included
Ask separately
Parking, stair carry and packing time should be checked before survey.
Lift slot, basement rule and truck standing point affect loading.
Tower gate pass and service lift timing need to be ready before dispatch.
Wider sectors help, but carton count and truck size still matter.
Moving to Chennai: Chennai access changes street by street, so name the exact area before dispatch on this 2,200 km run. OMR and Sholinganallur are gated tech zones with lift-padding and deposit rules, Velachery and Porur have apartment parking limits, and Adyar, Besant Nagar, T Nagar and Mylapore have older, narrow streets. The October to December monsoon can make unloading wet, so plan a covered handover.
Gated community slot, lift padding and entry deposit can apply.
Street access, parking and apartment unloading time need confirmation.
Older streets, timing limits and rain cover should be checked.
Tight lanes and smaller vehicle need may change unloading cost.
Distance across Chennai and lift access affect final handover.
Be wary of a Chennai quote that stays unclear on shared versus dedicated truck, won't say who unloads in Chennai, skips GST and declared value, or offers a storage promise with no daily rate. A quote that fills all of that in is the one that has actually run this route.
Booked through ShiftCompare, that is our problem too. Read how booking works above for the mediation promise in step 3.
The best choice is a route-matched mover with GST check, written truck mode, Chennai unloading support, insurance clarity and clean quote behaviour. ShiftCompare sends your request to up to 3 matched movers instead of turning it into a call flood.
Delhi to Chennai charges usually start near Rs 25,000 for 1 BHK, Rs 34,000 for 2 BHK, and Rs 48,000 for 3 BHK. Car transport can add Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000.
We check route coverage, GST and address details, service match, truck mode, quote behaviour and Chennai delivery support. The ranking method is linked clearly so the shortlist stays open to check.
A maximum of 3 matched movers contact you after you submit the form. The goal is a written comparison, not ten vendors calling with different scopes.
Delhi to Chennai is about 2,200 km by road on NH44, and a dedicated truck usually delivers in 6 to 8 days, while a shared truck takes 8 to 12 days. Ask for the dispatch date and delivery window in writing, not just the distance.
Shared load can suit a few items or a light 1 BHK when timing is flexible. Dedicated truck is better for full homes, fragile furniture, office goods or a fixed delivery date.
Ask for GST details, company name, written inventory, truck mode, pickup date, expected delivery window, Chennai unloading contact, insurance basis, car or bike handover photos and payment terms.
Often. Adyar, Besant Nagar and the T Nagar and Mylapore lanes are narrow, so a big truck may park out while a smaller vehicle shuttles goods in. OMR and Sholinganallur are easier but gated. Name the exact area so the crew plans the vehicle and any shuttle.
Many OMR and Sholinganallur communities ask for a refundable deposit and a lift-padding or entry rule before unloading. Get the society move-in rule from your contact ahead of dispatch. Knowing it avoids a wait at the gate after the long run.
The October to December northeast monsoon can make Chennai unloading wet, so a covered handover and sealed cartons help. Ask for a declared-value cover for a rainy-season arrival. Outside those months, timing mostly follows your joining date.
On a long southern haul a shared load often clubs with other shipments, which lowers cost but adds handovers and a softer date. Ask how many transfer points there are and whether a dedicated truck runs direct. For fragile or full-home loads, fewer handovers is safer.
Usually yes because Delhi to Chennai is longer. Final quote also depends on truck type, packing grade, GST, insurance, and vehicle transport.
Yes. Insurance is strongly recommended for appliances, TVs, glass, furniture, car shipment, bike transport, and premium goods.
Verified movers can provide GST invoices. Confirm GSTIN, invoice type, declared value, pickup address, destination address, and payment breakup.
Shared truck is cheaper for 1 BHK and partial loads. Dedicated truck costs more but gives better timing and less handling for full homes.
