Moving Company Amstelveen
Around one in twelve people living in Amstelveen came here from another country, and it shows in the moves we do: containers arriving from abroad, contracts that start mid-month, families whose Dutch is still three lessons old. It also shows in the ordinary ones — a flat in Elsrijk, a house in Westwijk, a room at Uilenstede. Movers from €19 per hour, lift and loading bay arranged in advance, and the whole process in English if that’s easier.
Moving within Amstelveen, to Amsterdam, or in from abroad
Local moves here are short and efficient — Kronenburg to Middenhoven is twenty minutes of driving and a day of careful work. Amstelveen–Amsterdam runs both ways constantly and stays a single-day job. And then there’s the international side: arrivals for the offices along the A9 and the international schools, departures back home or onward, with a long-distance or international relocation to plan around delivery windows. We also serve Aalsmeer, Uithoorn, Ouder-Amstel, Badhoevedorp, Hoofddorp and the Schiphol area at the same hourly rates.
What a move in Amstelveen costs
| Home | Usual time | What drives it |
|---|---|---|
| Student room, Uilenstede | 2–3 hours | Volume, lift availability |
| Apartment, Elsrijk or Kronenburg | 3–4 hours | Building lift size, loading bay access |
| Family house, Westwijk or Bovenkerk | Most of a day | Shed, garden items, disassembly |
| Full household with packing service | Two days | Packing the day before, moving the next |
No call-out fees and no travel surcharge — Amstelveen sits between our Amsterdam base and the A9. Contents are insured up to €200,000 per claim. If an employer or relocation budget needs a firm figure rather than an estimate, book a free home visit: a planner walks the property with you and quotes exactly, with no obligation.
Lifts, loading bays and building rules
In Amstelveen the obstacles are rarely the streets — they’re the buildings. Apartment blocks in Elsrijk, Randwijck and around the Stadshart need the freight lift reserved with the VvE or building manager, padding in shared hallways, and a loading bay that isn’t blocked at school-run time. We arrange those before the day rather than negotiating in a lobby with a truck double-parked outside. Where a building lift is too small for a three-seater — common in the older blocks — we bring a moving lift and take the furniture through the window instead. Parking is paid in most of the municipality, so a permit or exemption is usually part of the plan; we apply for it.
Moving as an expat, in English
A large share of our work here starts before anyone lifts a box: coordinating a container delivery window, bridging a gap between contracts with temporary storage, or moving a household in stages while a rental is still being furnished. Quote, planning, moving day and invoice all run in English, and our expat moving service covers the practical side of arriving in — or leaving — the Netherlands.
Neighbourhood by neighbourhood
Elsrijk, Randwijck & Stadshart
Apartments and mid-rise blocks. Lift reservation, hallway protection, timed loading bay — arranged in advance, every time.
Uilenstede & Kronenburg
Student campus and compact studios: fast, budget-conscious moves, most of them in July, August and September. See our student moving service.
Westwijk, Middenhoven, Waardhuizen, Groenelaan
Family districts with parking at the door and wide access — short carrying distances, fewer hours, smaller invoice.
Bovenkerk & Nes aan de Amstel
Detached houses, converted farmhouses, narrow lanes along the river. Truck size matched to the road; sometimes two smaller runs beat one large one.

The crew and the kit
The people
Trained movers working in English and Dutch who have met the puzzle before: the sofa that only fits via the balcony, the lift out of service on the day, the corridor that turns twice.
The materials
Blankets, stretch foil, mattress covers, wardrobe boxes, floor and doorframe protection in both homes, everything strapped in the truck.
The fleet
18, 24 and 48 m³ trucks and compact vans — for a loading bay or a lane along the Amstel.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a moving company in Amstelveen cost?
From €19 per hour per mover and €39 for a van, billed hourly. An apartment is typically 3–4 hours; a family house most of a day. A free quote or home visit gives you the exact figure.
Can the whole move be handled in English?
Yes — quote, planning, moving day and invoice. A large share of our customers here are internationals.
Do I need a parking permit or a reserved loading space?
In most of Amstelveen, yes, and in apartment blocks you’ll also want the freight lift booked. We arrange both before the day.
Our building lift is small. Will the sofa fit?
Often not — the older blocks weren’t built for three-seaters. We check dimensions in advance and bring a moving lift when the window is the better route.
Can you store our belongings between two homes?
Yes, for a week, a month or longer. It’s the usual answer when a rental ends before the new place is ready — common here with international arrivals.
How far ahead should we book?
Two to three weeks normally, and earlier around the end of the school year, when international families move in waves.
Do you handle container deliveries and international moves?
Yes — including coordinating the delivery window, unloading into the house, and storage if the timing doesn’t line up.
Do you move at weekends or at short notice?
Both, without a weekend surcharge. Short-notice moves depend on the schedule — call and we’ll tell you straight.
