Lorry hire & house moving: Penang to Johor Bahru
What a lorry or a house move between Penang and Johor Bahru usually costs, how far and how long it is, and what to check before you book. It's much the same the other way, from Johor Bahru to Penang.
The route at a glance
| Distance | about 687 km |
|---|---|
| Driving time (car) | about 7 h 20 min to 8 h 15 min |
| Main roads | PLUS North–South Expressway (E1 and E2), through the Klang Valley |
| Toll, one way | car or 4-wheel 1-ton lorry RM71.91; 6-wheel lorry (most 3- and 5-ton) RM131.50 |
A loaded lorry is usually slower than a car, and movers add time for loading and unloading.
Typical house-move prices (one trip, with crew)
No public price list for this route: movers quote per job. Post a request to get prices.
What changes the price
- Floors and lifts at both ends, and how far the lorry can park from the door.
- Extra stops, packing, and taking furniture apart and putting it back together.
- Weekends, month-end and festive seasons cost more; book early for those.
- The empty trip back: long routes are priced one way. A mover already going your way may be cheaper; see shared lorries.
Route tips
- About 690 km: a full day of driving, so some movers load one day and deliver the next morning.
- The toll above is PLUS Juru to Skudai; from Penang island add nothing (leaving the island is free).
