Hiring a trailer is by far the cheapest way to move if you can enlist the help of some good, strong friends. When I was moving from Salter Point to Fremantle, I hired one of Move Yourself’s trailers. If my memory serves me correctly, I hired one of their 10×6×7 fully enclosed furniture vans. I paid around $ 70 for four hours with a $ 50 deposit, which I got back at the end. You just call up, make a booking, collect it from the BP on Canning Highway, and return it when you’re done. Simple! The trailer was secure and had plenty of points to tie down my excess of junk. My only gripe was that the cord they gave us to connect to our car’s brake lights(forgive me and my lack of automotive knowledge) was far too short and broke off as soon as we made a turn.
