Moving from the capital to the south east is a popular choice, and removals Dublin to Waterford are one of the routes we drive most often. Whether you are heading for Waterford city, Tramore, Dungarvan or a village in the county, Moving Service Dublin loads your home in Dublin, drives it down and unloads it in one day.
This is part of our long distance removals service, and you can see everything else on our services page.
The route from Dublin to Waterford
The drive is straightforward. We leave Dublin on the M50 and join the M7, then pick up the M9 near Naas and follow it south past Carlow and Kilkenny all the way to Waterford. Door to door it usually takes around two hours, sometimes a little more depending on traffic leaving Dublin and where in the county you are going.
For coastal spots like Tramore or Dunmore East we add the local roads at the end, and for West Waterford towns like Dungarvan or Lismore the journey runs a bit longer. Because the motorway does most of the work, we can often load in the morning and have you unpacked by the afternoon.
We also avoid Friday afternoon departures where we can, as traffic heading out of Dublin on the M7 builds up quickly before a weekend. A midweek or early Saturday start is usually the most relaxed option.
How a Dublin to Waterford move works
- You send us both addresses and a list of furniture and boxes
- We give you a fixed price quote that includes the drive, so no mileage surprises
- On the day we wrap furniture, load carefully and strap everything in place
- We drive straight to Waterford with your belongings, no depot stops or transfers
- We unload, place items in the right rooms and reassemble beds and tables
For larger homes we plan the number of trips or arrange a larger vehicle in advance, so you know exactly how the day will run.
Planning for your new Waterford home
A little local knowledge helps. Some of Waterford city's older streets near the Viking Triangle and the quays are narrow, with on street parking that fills up early. Newer estates in areas like Ballygunner or Kilbarry are easier for a van. If you are moving to a period house or a rural property with a long lane, let us know so we can plan access.
Tips for a long distance move
- Arrange keys for the new property before moving day so we are not waiting on arrival
- Keep a box of essentials, chargers and documents in your own car
- Book an early start so the drive is done before evening traffic
- Defrost the fridge and freezer the night before
Moving to Waterford for work, college at SETU or to be closer to family? We also move smaller loads, such as a student room, a few pieces of furniture or the contents of a one bed apartment, so you do not need a full house to book a Dublin to Waterford run.
Everything is fully insured from the moment we lift it in Dublin to the moment it is placed in Waterford.
