About Better Moves

Locally owned and operated, Better Moves has grown from a single truck into a trusted South Island moving partner.

Our Story

Better Moves began in Dunedin with a clear goal: make moving simple, stress-free, and professional. Over the years, we’ve expanded to serve the wider Otago and Canterbury regions, earning a reputation for care, reliability, and community connection.

Today, we operate a full logistics fleet covering residential, rural, and commercial clients. We’re proud to employ a local team who take genuine pride in every job, whether it’s a small home move or a large logistics contract.

Our Values

Every move handled with respect, care, and attention to detail.

Local Ownership

Proudly Dunedin-based, supporting local people and businesses.

Reliability

You can count on us — 7 days a week, rain or shine.

Community

We believe in giving back to the regions that support us.
