Galway to Dublin Removals

Moving from Galway to Dublin? J Hanway’s team makes the M6/M4 run eastbound as often as westbound. Our Dublin-based crew drives down to Galway in the morning, loads on the day, and delivers to your new Dublin address the same afternoon. No handovers, no subcontractors, no transfer warehouses.

The Galway to Dublin Route

M6 → M4 → M50, 210 km, 2 hours 20 minutes empty. Our crew typically leaves Cloghran at 6:30 am, arrives in Galway between 9 and 9:30 am, loads through to early afternoon, and is back in Dublin for late afternoon unload.

For most three-bedroom family moves, the whole job — Dublin to Galway to Dublin — is comfortably done inside a single day.

Who Moves Galway to Dublin

Tech and pharma career relocations. Galway has a substantial med-tech and pharma base, and when workers move to Dublin HQ roles it’s usually a quick, decisive relocation. Often apartments or small houses, one or two-day notice sometimes.

NUIG graduates heading to Dublin first jobs. The annual autumn surge: graduates moving from Galway student accommodation to Dublin starter apartments. Typically small loads, often shared-truck where we combine multiple student moves on the same run.

Families moving for Dublin schools or work. Three- and four-bedroom houses, planned weeks ahead, usually with a full pack-up the day before.

What the Move Looks Like

Early start from Dublin. Our crew leaves Cloghran at 6:30 am sharp to arrive in Galway for a 9–9:30 start.

Loading in Galway. For a typical three-bed house with packing already done, 2.5–3 hours. We aim to be loaded and on the M6 eastbound by 1 pm.

Afternoon Dublin delivery. We arrive at your Dublin address between 4 and 5 pm. Unload, place furniture, reassemble beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Finished same day in nearly all cases.

Why Choose J Hanway for Galway-Dublin Moves

We’re Dublin specialists making the Galway trip, not the other way around. The Dublin-end delivery is usually the hardest part: narrow D4 mews, Ballsbridge apartment block loading bays, DCC permit zones. Our team does that every day.

Single-day turnaround. We don’t pad the quote with an unnecessary overnight. Most three- and four-bed Galway-Dublin moves genuinely complete in one day.

Fixed pricing. Tolls, fuel, permits all included. What we quote is what you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Galway to Dublin move take? Single day for most moves. Larger jobs or difficult access may need a second day.

Will my stuff be stored overnight somewhere? No. Single-run: the same crew, same truck, Galway to Dublin in one journey.

Can you collect from Connemara? Yes. Roundstone, Clifden, Letterfrack — we’ll quote with additional drive time built in, usually as a two-day job because of the early start needed.

How far ahead should I book? 1–2 weeks is comfortable. Urgent jobs (within a week) depend on crew availability — call to check.
