Leaving Karachi, arriving in Islamabad
Heavy vehicles face daytime restrictions on many main roads, so large trucks are often loaded early in the morning or at night. In Islamabad: housing societies such as DHA, Bahria Town and Gulberg Greens have their own entry rules for moving trucks.
In Islamabad we usually drive in via the Islamabad Expressway, Kashmir Highway, Srinagar Highway and the M-1 / M-2 motorways.
What affects the cost of Karachi to Islamabad house shifting
For Karachi to Islamabad house shifting: the biggest part of the price is the vehicle: a Shehzore carries a one-room move, a 17 ft Mazda a normal two or three bedroom house, and a 20 ft Mazda or container a large house. Choosing the right size first time is cheaper than paying for a second trip.
Packing adds material and time. Cartons, bubble wrap, stretch film and blankets protect what you own, and a packed move is usually faster on the day because everything is ready to load in order.
- Volume of goods and vehicle size
- Packing materials and crew size
- Floors, lifts and walking distance
- Specialist handling (pianos, safes, ACs)
- Distance and fuel prices for intercity moves
Packing guidance for Karachi to Islamabad shifting
Take photos of TV and computer cables before unplugging them, and keep screws from beds and wardrobes in a labelled bag taped to the furniture. Refitting is much quicker that way.
Pack heavy things such as books and crockery in small boxes and light things such as pillows in big ones. Boxes that are too heavy to lift are the ones that get dropped.
How the moving day runs
The truck is loaded heavy items first and boxes last, with mattresses and blankets between furniture so nothing rubs during the drive. Fragile cartons travel on top, never under weight.
Before the truck leaves, walk through every room, cupboard and the roof once more. Check the meter readings, keep the old keys together and hand them over the same day.
Before a long drive, check motorway closures, fog and weather alerts on the National Highways & Motorway Police website – we watch the same updates and adjust the departure time if needed.
