Door-to-door household, car and bike shifting from Mumbai to Ahmedabad and across Gujarat. One dedicated closed container, chemical-free packing, tolls included and Gujarat border paperwork prepared before the truck leaves. Loaded on Day 1, unloaded in Ahmedabad on Day 2, with a GST invoice on every move.
On a 530 km route, many movers wait to fill a truck with several customers' goods, park yours in a depot and deliver days later. Our service works differently. A dedicated container is assigned to your move, packed at your doorstep, and driven straight up NH48 to your Ahmedabad address. Your sofa, fridge, bed and boxes travel together, in your truck, on your schedule.
Multishift Packers and Movers Pvt Ltd has been moving families and professionals out of Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane since 2014. For Gujarat moves we plan the whole trip in advance: crew size for your floor and lift situation, container size, tolls, the border paperwork, and entry arrangements at your Ahmedabad society, so nothing is left to the driver on the highway.
Quick answer: Mumbai to Ahmedabad household shifting costs about ₹11,000–₹16,000 for a 1 BHK, ₹16,000–₹24,000 for a 2 BHK and ₹24,000–₹34,000 for a 3 BHK or villa. The distance is about 530 km via NH48, transit takes 24–36 hours with next-day delivery available, and tolls are included in the quote. Car transport is ₹7,500–₹11,000 and bike transport ₹3,000–₹4,500.
What to expect on the 530 km run through Palghar, Vapi, Surat and Vadodara, and what is already covered in your quote.
Pickup anywhere in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai or Thane, drop anywhere in Ahmedabad or Gandhinagar. The truck follows the Western Express Highway onto NH48, crosses into Gujarat at Vapi, passes Surat and Vadodara and finishes on the Vadodara-Ahmedabad Expressway (NE1).
Load on Day 1 and unload in Ahmedabad on Day 2. 1 BHK and 2 BHK homes with an early start usually make next-day delivery. 3 BHK homes and villas are planned with a longer buffer for packing, lift slots and driver rest.
NH48 toll plazas in Maharashtra and Gujarat and the NE1 expressway are part of your fixed quote. No cash demands from the driver, no surprise add-ons on the highway.
14 ft, 17 ft, 19 ft and 22 ft closed containers, picked to match your inventory. You get the driver's number and live location updates through the journey.
Consignment note, signed inventory, vehicle papers and an e-way bill where applicable are ready before the truck leaves Mumbai. See the Gujarat entry checklist.
We load from Andheri, Bandra, Powai and Thane to Vashi, Kharghar and Panvel. Local household moves are covered on our household shifting page.

Rates include NH48 and expressway tolls. GST is shown separately on your invoice. Transit insurance is optional and its premium depends on the declared value of your goods.
Final cost depends on volume, floors and lift access at both ends, packing grade and date. Weekends, month-end, Navratri and Diwali cost more, and mid-week dates from October to February are usually cheapest. See the full price list and calculator, learn about hidden costs in moving, or explore our wider intercity relocation services. Moving to Maharashtra's other big hub instead?

Your goods stay sealed in a container for 24 to 36 hours on this route. Clean, odour-free packing means clothes, mattresses and kitchenware come out fresh at the other end.
Strong boxes sized to the item, labelled room by room, so heavy books and utensils never sit in weak or reused cartons for 530 km.
Kitchenware is wrapped in clean, odour-free kraft paper and foam, with no chemical sprays or naphthalene balls anywhere near plates, pans or storage jars.
Garments travel in wardrobe cartons and breathable covers, and mattresses are wrapped and edge-protected, so nothing smells of chemicals when you open it in Ahmedabad.
TVs, screens, glassware and artwork get layered cushioning and corner protection. After unpacking, we take away the used packing debris.
A loaded goods vehicle crossing from Maharashtra into Gujarat near Vapi can be asked for documents. A missing paper can hold your truck for hours, so we prepare the file before the truck leaves Mumbai.
| Document | Why it matters | Who arranges it |
|---|---|---|
| Consignment note (LR) & signed inventory list | Shows what is on board and matches your goods at any check | Multishift |
| GST tax invoice | Proof of service, accepted for corporate relocation claims | Multishift |
| Vehicle papers and driver licence | Registration, permit, fitness and insurance for a goods vehicle running inter-state | Multishift |
| E-way bill | Used household effects are generally exempt. New items in original packing or goods of commercial value may need one | Multishift, where applicable |
| Owner ID and address proof | Verification at the border, at the society gate and for insurance | You |
| Society NOC and lift slot in Ahmedabad | Lets the truck and crew in without waiting at the gate | You, with our permission letter |
Gujarat is a dry state. Liquor and bar stock cannot be carried into Gujarat, so please remove them from your inventory before packing day. Possession in Gujarat is governed by the state's prohibition law and permit rules.
Moving your own car or bike? A Maharashtra-registered vehicle can run in Gujarat for a limited period, but if you are shifting residence it generally has to be re-registered in Gujarat, with an NOC from your Maharashtra RTO. We transport the vehicle, and you handle the RTO formalities, so check the current timeline with your RTO. Rules change, so we confirm the paperwork for your specific move at booking.
Heavy rain on the Palghar to Surat stretch from June to September and 40°C summers in Ahmedabad are the two big risks on this route. This is how we plan around both.
We never move long-distance in open tempos. A sealed container keeps out heavy South Gujarat rain, dust and flying highway gravel over 530 km.
Furniture is strapped to the container walls with heavy-duty ratchet lashings, so nothing shifts during braking, lane changes and fast stretches of the expressway.
Mattresses, sofas, wooden panels and appliances get an extra moisture-shield wrap from June to September, on top of the multi-layer packing.
Heat-sensitive items are packed away from container walls, drivers get planned rest, and on heavy-rain days we adjust departure timing and share live GPS updates.
Moving with a car, a scooty or just a few suitcases? Send them with your household move or book them on their own.
Your car travels on an enclosed carrier, not on its own wheels for 530 km. We record its condition in a pre-load inspection report with photos, secure it with wheel chocks and deliver to your door. Stand-alone bookings are on our car transportation page.
Bikes and scooties go in the same container with wheel chocks and lashing. We remove mirrors, foam-wrap the body and drain the petrol. See our bike shifting service.
Relocating for a job or college with boxes, trunks and suitcases but no full home? We collect from your Mumbai door and deliver to your Ahmedabad door, quoted by volume after a quick inventory.
From SG Highway and Prahlad Nagar to Bopal and Gandhinagar's GIFT City, we plan society gates, lift slots and high-rise unloading for every Ahmedabad delivery.
A low quote from an unorganised operator often costs more once toll demands, border delays, damage and waiting are added. Here is how the two compare on a 530 km inter-state move.
| What matters | Multishift | Typical unregistered tempo or part-load operator |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle | Dedicated enclosed container | Open truck with loose ropes, or a shared load |
| Delivery time | 24 to 36 hours, next-day delivery | Waits for a full load, delivery in days |
| Packing | Chemical-free, multi-layer, labelled room by room | Old cartons, newspaper, or none |
| Tracking | GPS tracking, live updates | Phone calls to the driver |
| Gujarat paperwork | LR, inventory, vehicle papers and e-way bill where needed | Often none, risking delays at checks |
| Billing | Formal GST invoice, written quote | Cash, no bill |
| Insurance | Transit insurance available, documented claim process | No insurance |
| Tolls | Included in the quote | Extra demands on the highway |
| Ahmedabad high-rise | Lift coordination and staircase handling with floor protection | No lift assistance |
From the first video call to the last bed reassembled in Ahmedabad, every stage is planned so moving day stays on schedule.
A video call or inventory form gives you a fixed, binding written quotation with inclusions listed.
Beds are disassembled, electronics wrapped and boxes labelled room by room at your doorstep.
Documents travel with the truck, tolls are covered and you get live GPS updates through Gujarat.
We coordinate with society security and lift slots. Use our free Society NOC generator.
Furniture goes into the right rooms, and we take away used packing debris.
Most Ahmedabad apartment societies on SG Highway, in Bopal and in Prahlad Nagar expect advance intimation to the society office and a lift or gate slot before a truck is allowed in. Gated townships and GIFT City in Gandhinagar can also ask for vehicle and crew details ahead of time. Without it, the truck can wait at the gate while the crew and the clock keep running.
We give you pre-filled society permission letters with crew and vehicle details, so approval is quick. Generate yours in about a minute with our free society shifting NOC letter generator, and ask your society office for lift timing at least 2 to 3 working days before delivery. Rules differ by society, so confirm with your managing committee.
Share your pickup and drop areas and your home size. We will call you to confirm the details and arrange a free virtual or on-site survey, so your quote is based on your actual inventory.
