Ferry crossing from Bali carrying a loaded moving truck for an inter-island relocation

Inter-island is a different discipline from a cross-town move, and I treat it that way. Your furniture will ride a truck, a ferry deck, and a truck again — minimum five extra handling points — so everything is wrapped to a higher standard: corner-protected, film-wrapped, and the fragile pieces in custom plywood crates we build in our yard. We run the Padangbai–Lembar ferry to Lombok most weeks and consolidated trucks to Java monthly, and the same crew that loads in Bali rides with the truck and unloads at your new door. No handoffs to unknown subcontractors halfway.

What Inter-Island Moving Includes

Door-to-Door Service

One contract from your Bali villa to the new address — loading, trucking, ferry, unloading and placement. You never deal with the port.

Export-Grade Wrapping & Crating

Double wrapping on all furniture and custom plywood crates for TVs, mirrors, artwork and anything glass. Built per item in our yard before loading day.

Ferry & Documentation

Vehicle manifests, cargo declarations and port timing handled by us. The truck is sealed before the crossing and the seal checked with you on arrival.

Updates & Tracking

Photos at loading, a message at the port, a message off the ferry, and an arrival window the day before delivery.

Lombok, Java and Beyond

Lombok is the easy one: load morning, cross Padangbai–Lembar by afternoon, deliver same evening or next morning — door to door in 1–2 days, from IDR 4,500,000 for a 1-bedroom load. Java runs as either a dedicated truck (fastest, priciest) or a shared consolidated truck once or twice a month: Surabaya from IDR 6,500,000, Yogyakarta and Jakarta from IDR 8,000,000–9,500,000 for a comparable load, 3–5 days door to door. Nusa Penida and the Gilis go by local boat and are quoted per trip.

If your departure date and your new home's availability do not line up, we hold the load in our storage near Denpasar and ship when you are ready — common with visa-run timing. Want to cut the price? Pack the soft goods yourself with materials we deliver and leave only fragile crating to us. Guide prices for every route are on the pricing page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does moving from Bali to Lombok cost?
From IDR 4,500,000 door to door for a typical 1-bedroom load including wrapping, the Padangbai–Lembar ferry and delivery. Larger villa loads run IDR 7,000,000–12,000,000.
How long does an inter-island move take?
Lombok: 1–2 days door to door. Java: 3–5 days by consolidated truck depending on the city. We give a written day-by-day timeline with the quote and update you at each leg.
Can I ship a small load and share the truck?
Yes — consolidated trucks to Java run monthly and to Lombok most weeks. Sharing cuts the price 30–40% versus a dedicated truck if your dates are flexible by a few days.
Is my cargo insured on the ferry?
Yes — inter-island moves carry transport insurance covering the full route including the crossing, and the truck is sealed before boarding. High-value items are declared per piece.
What can't be shipped between islands?
Gas bottles, fuels, aerosols and most live plants are not accepted. Motorbikes can be shipped, drained of fuel, as a separate line item on the same truck.
