Student moves priced for a student budget

A room's worth of stuff — a mattress topper, a monitor, three bags of clothes and a kettle — shouldn't cost the price of a night out in Ballybough. Student moves are priced flat and fair: from €60 for a single room within Kilkenny, €100 for a shared 2-bed and €150 for a full 3-bed student house.

Move with a housemate on the same day and split the van, and you're each paying less than a bus ticket. This is a routine ask — we'll do two or three pickups in one run around the university term.

Routes we run every August and May

  • SETU Waterford ↔ home counties across Leinster and Munster
  • SETU Carlow ↔ Kilkenny, Wexford and the Midlands
  • Kilkenny city ↔ any campus in Ireland
  • Room-to-room moves between Kilkenny student houses
  • Bringing everything from home to a new digs on move-in weekend

August and September are peak weeks — Saturdays fill up first. Book two weeks ahead if the move date is set, or grab a mid-week slot for the best price and availability.

What you can fit in the van

The long-wheelbase Transit swallows a room-and-a-half at once — mattress, bed frame, desk, chair, boxes and up to a dozen bin-bags of clothes. If you're moving a full 3-bed student house, we'll usually do it in one trip or two shorter ones depending on furniture.

Student-move pricing

  • Single room within Kilkenny city: from €60
  • Single room, Kilkenny to Carlow or Waterford: from €90
  • Shared 2-bed within Kilkenny: from €100
  • Full 3-bed student house within Kilkenny: from €150
  • Room from home (anywhere in Leinster) to Kilkenny digs: from €90

End of year — get it done in one go

End-of-year moves are more common than start-of-year, because that's when parents get involved and quickly realise a car boot won't cut it. We'll come, load a room's worth of stuff and bags in twenty minutes, and drop it wherever home is. Storage-in-the-garage-for-the-summer counts as a valid destination.

Storage between semesters

If you're heading home for the summer and don't want to bring everything with you, we can drop a room's worth of belongings to a family member, a friend's shed or a local storage unit. Bring it back down for the price of the return trip when the next semester starts.

Frequently asked

How cheap is a student move in Kilkenny?
From €60 for a single room inside Kilkenny city — probably cheaper than a taxi with all your stuff. Cross-county room moves from €90.
Can I split the van with a friend?
Absolutely — this is the smart play. Two rooms out of the same student house going to two different places within the same city works out at half-price each.
Do you help with the loading?
Yes — I'll help you load and I'll do all the unloading. Fastest with things in bags and boxes ready to go, but I'll pitch in on the last-minute chaos too.
What about the summer break — can you store my stuff?
We don't run a storage facility ourselves, but we work with a couple of local self-storage places in Kilkenny and can drop items straight in. Or drop them to a parent's / friend's for free if that's on the route.
Do you do late-night or early-morning slots?
6am and 10pm slots available if it suits your schedule — same price as any other time.
Will you take a fridge or microwave?
Yes, both, no extra charge. Please defrost the fridge the night before if it's plumbed in.
Do you do moves for staff and mature students too?
Same rates and same welcome — you don't need a student card to book the student-move price for a small room's worth.
What's the fastest way to book?
WhatsApp — send date, both addresses and a quick voice-note listing what's moving. Ten minutes and you'll have a fixed price and a slot.
