Let’s cut straight to the chase: You need to move. Fast. Like, “why-is-my-heart-pounding-and-my-boxes-still-empty” fast.
Whether your landlord just sold the place out from under you (cheers, Gary), or your job’s got you bouncing across postcodes like it’s a hobby – Dublin Removals has your back. No judgment, no drama – just professional movers who know how to handle chaos like it’s their morning coffee.
So, can a moving company really help you with a last-minute move in Dublin?
Yes. And not just help – you might be surprised how much smoother your panic-fueled day can become with the right team.
What Is a Last-Minute Move, Really?
A last-minute move usually means relocating within 7 days or less. Sometimes it’s a 24–48 hour situation. In Dublin, nearly 18% of all residential moves (based on internal booking data from 2023) fall under the “emergency” category – no planning, no time, all adrenaline.
You’re not alone in this.
People move last minute due to:
- Breakups (we’ve seen the tears)
- Job offers (yay!)
- Landlord issues (boo!)
- Renovations gone wrong
- Student housing crises
Each one involves a ticking clock and rising cortisol.
Do Moving Companies in Dublin Accept Same-Day or Next-Day Jobs?
Some do. Most don’t. We do.
Here’s the trick: most large moving companies in Dublin operate at full capacity 5 days a week. They book out slots weeks in advance. But we’ve built our system differently.
Here’s how Dublin Removals makes last-minute moves happen:
| Feature | How It Helps You |
|---|---|
| Standby Van Availability | We reserve 1-2 trucks daily for emergency moves. |
| 24/7 Booking Hotline | Call us at 10pm. We’ll pick up. |
| Flexible Crews | Movers on shift-swaps for rapid redeployment. |
| Priority Scheduling | We triage based on urgency and volume. |
| Fleet Size | 12 vans and trucks means we can juggle. |
According to internal fleet tracking, we completed 312 last-minute moves in Dublin in 2024 – with an average NPS score of 9.4 out of 10 from customer feedback.
How Fast Can You Book a Move with Dublin Removals?
We’ve streamlined the booking funnel:
- Phone Call or WhatsApp Message
Time to complete: ~2 mins
(Our record: 38 seconds, thanks to someone who just texted “HELP.”) - Quick Survey or Video Walkthrough
We assess your inventory. 2–5 mins tops. No printer, no scanner, no stress. - Quote Sent
You get a fixed price within 30 minutes. No “it depends” waffle. - Team Dispatched
Same-day dispatch available 7 days a week.
What If You Don’t Have Boxes or Packing Materials?
Don’t worry – this isn’t your fault. When you’ve got 24 hours to vacate, packing supplies become a luxury.
We bring:
- Double-walled boxes
- Wardrobe cartons
- Bubble wrap and shrink film
- Mattress covers (yes, even the king size)
- Labels and markers
Our emergency kits travel with our team. You don’t need to touch a thing – we pack it all.
In 2024, 72% of last-minute clients didn’t have materials ready. Not one of them lost a sock.
How Much Does a Last-Minute Move in Dublin Cost?
Here’s where honesty matters.
Yes, last-minute services often come at a slight premium, but they don’t have to bankrupt you.
| Job Type | Avg. Price (Standard) | Avg. Price (Last-Minute) |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Bed Apartment | €360 | €425 |
| 2-Bed Apartment | €560 | €640 |
| 3-Bed House | €730 | €850 |
| Small Office (6 Desks) | €950 | €1,100 |
We don’t tack on nonsense fees like “rush response” or “emergency fuel adjustment.” Our quotes are all-in.
Why Trust Dublin Removals with Your Chaos?
Because we’ve been through it ourselves.
Our founder, Conor, once had to move his entire flat in under 12 hours after a flood. He started the company the following year with one van, two mates, and a mission: no one should go through moving hell alone.
Now? We’re one of Dublin’s fastest-growing independent moving companies, trusted homeowners and 500+ businesses in the last 5 years.
We’ve moved:
- A full wedding after a venue closed last-minute
- A tech startup in 6 hours flat
- A cat rescue (yes, we helped catch them)
Our reviews aren’t just nice – they’re borderline love letters.
Is It Worth Hiring a Moving Company for a Last-Minute Job?
Absolutely. Here’s why:
- Speed: What would take you 10 hours takes us 2.
- Safety: No broken lamps or twisted backs.
- Strategy: We load, transport, and unpack with a system, not guesswork.
- Sanity: You get to breathe.
Trying to DIY a last-minute move? You’ll spend more on van rentals, late-night petrol, lost deposits, and your own time.
And honestly, your sanity is worth more than €200.
