A complete move of a regular home costs € 400 to € 2,500, including van and movers. The size of the home, the distance between addresses and the carrying work (floor, lift, parking) decide where you land in that band. Standalone services have their own bands: heavy items € 150-450 per item, packing service € 200-800, furniture lift € 150-350 per half-day, storage € 50-150 per month. A business move costs € 1,000 to € 7,500 per project.

The earlier, the more choice — especially if your moving date falls around the end of the month, when rental contracts expire and movers' schedules are fullest. Request quotes as soon as the date (or period) is known. If you have a few days of slack, mention it in your request: a flexible date often brings more responses and a sharper price.

Yes. Submitting a request costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Up to 3 moving companies respond and you decide who to talk to — or no one, which is fine too. Prices and payment are arranged directly with the company.

Moving companies in your region respond as soon as possible with a price indication. Mention your moving date (or the period you can move in) in the request: companies then know immediately whether your schedule fits their calendar and you only receive responses you can use.

Yes. We verify Chamber of Commerce registration when a company joins and ask each company for proof of business liability insurance. Companies with recurring complaints are removed from the platform.

Your details are shared only with the (up to 3) moving companies matched to your request. We never resell your data and automatically delete requests after the legal retention period. See our privacy policy.

That is arranged by the moving company, and cover differs per company — so ask about it explicitly in the quote: what is covered during transport, up to what amount and with what excess. We ask affiliated companies for proof of insurance when they join. Photograph valuable or fragile items before moving day; in any dispute over damage you will be in a stronger position.

Yes, and that is very common. If you pack yourself, stage the boxes downstairs and take down lamps and curtains, only the heavy and specialised work remains — which saves hours and therefore money. State in your request what you handle yourself, and companies will factor it into the quote.

Yes. Heavy and precious items are specialist work: with piano rollers, stair-climbing trolleys and enough manpower such an item travels safely from A to B, up or down stairs included. Expect € 150 to € 450 per item, depending on the weight and the number of floors. Choose 'Piano, safe and heavy items' in the request — also when it is part of a complete move.

Yes. When the handover date of the old home and the keys to the new one don't line up, the moving company stores the contents in a locked storage unit or container — for € 50 to € 150 per month, depending on the volume. Ask the quote how the storage is insured and what redelivery costs.

It happens more often than you'd think: a handover runs late or the key transfer moves a week. Tell your moving company as early as possible — the sooner, the better the chance the new date fits their schedule. When booking, agree what happens if you reschedule or cancel, so there is no discussion later.

No — that is a different trade, with its own specialised companies. For clearing a home to a broom-clean handover or a move into a care home, our sister service Woningontruiminghulp.nl is the right door. Via Verhuisbedrijf Direct you request moves: from complete home and business removals to heavy items, packing, furniture lifts and storage.
