Moving services: More than just furniture transportation

Moving is rarely easy – it takes time, energy and, above all, nerves. Regardless of whether you organize everything yourself or use the help of a professional moving company, there is always more to it than just transporting furniture and boxes from A to B.

People often underestimate the many additional tasks involved in moving house: Packing, dismantling furniture, clearing out, cleaning or even setting up no-stopping zones. This is exactly where professional moving services come into play. An experienced company not only provides transportation, but also helps you with all the details that are easily overlooked.

On this page we give you a comprehensive overview of the services that a moving company can offer you to make your move as easy, safe and stress-free as possible.

What does a moving service cost?

The cost of a moving service varies greatly as it depends on various factors. Regardless of whether you only want to book transportation or use additional services such as packing or furniture assembly – the final moving costs always depend on your individual requirements.

Factors that influence costs

• Size of the household: A small move (e.g. 1-bedroom apartment) costs less than a move for a large house.
• Distance: Local removals are cheaper than long-distance removals or international transportation.
• Additional services: Packing, furniture assembly, clearing out or cleaning increase the total costs.
• Accessibility: A narrow stairwell or lack of an elevator increases the effort and thus the costs.
• Transport volume: The more household goods you have transported, the greater the loading space and effort required.

Typical costs for removal services

To give you an initial idea, here are some guidelines for the average cost of a removal service:

• Small move (1-room apartment): approx. 400 to 800 USD
• Medium move (3-room apartment): approx. 1,000 to 2,000 USD
• Large move (single-family house): from 2,500 USD
