Affordable movers in Amsterdam — and what it actually costs
Amsterdam movers are famous for high prices. We're not. Movers from €19 per hour, a small moving van from €39, a large van from €50, reusable eco-friendly moving boxes at €4 each, and moving lift rental from €100 per hour — with our lowest-price guarantee. Compare that with what most Amsterdam moving companies charge and you'll see why our quote calculator is worth two minutes of your time. A studio or one-bedroom move within the city typically takes 3–4 hours; a family home a full day. The quote you receive is the amount on your invoice — no call-out fees, no surprises. Full breakdown in our guide on the average cost of a move.
Prefer to talk it through in person? We offer free home visits: a planner walks through your home with you and you receive the most accurate, no-obligation quote there is.

High-quality moves — what makes us different
The people. Our movers are trained and experienced professionals — punctual, fluent in English and Dutch, and unfazed by the puzzles Amsterdam throws at them. A sofa that only fits through the window, a staircase that turns twice per floor, an elevator that's out of order on moving day: they've solved it before, and they'll solve it for you.
The materials. Nothing travels bare: furniture goes into moving blankets and stretch foil, mattresses into protective bags, hanging clothes straight into wardrobe boxes — never folded. Your belongings ride in sturdy, reusable eco-friendly boxes, floors and doorframes are covered in both homes, and in the truck everything is strapped down before we drive a single meter.
The fleet. Multiple truck sizes — 18 m³, 24 m³, 48 m³ and more — matched to your household and your street. In Amsterdam that's half the job: a compact van for the Jordaan's narrow one-ways, a big truck for a family move to Amstelveen, and route planning that respects the city's environmental zone and traffic rules.
Reliable and fast moving service in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is the most demanding moving city in the Netherlands, and that's exactly where local knowledge pays. In the canal belt and the Jordaan, staircases are steep and narrow — this is why Amsterdam houses have hoisting beams, and why our moving lift does the climbing while your furniture travels through the window, the way it's been done here for four centuries. We arrange the parking exemption and reserved loading space with the municipality well in advance — in Amsterdam you want that requested about two weeks ahead, and we guide you through it. In De Pijp and Oud-West we work around the busy shopping streets; in Noord we plan the ferry or the tunnel into the schedule; on the Zuidas and in the Eastern Docklands — our own neighborhood — we reserve freight elevators and loading docks with building managers; and on IJburg we simply enjoy the modern streets where the truck parks at the door. Our 4.9 out of 5 on Google comes from doing all of this on time, every time.
Amsterdam is expat city — and we speak your language
Roughly one in three Amsterdammers wasn't born in the Netherlands, and a large share of our Amsterdam moves are for internationals: new arrivals for the Zuidas, researchers, tech workers, diplomats and students. Your entire move runs in English — quote, planning, moving day, invoice — and because we've done this hundreds of times, we also know the practical side of arriving in (or leaving) the Netherlands: what the municipality needs, how lift reservations work in apartment towers, and how to handle the paperwork of an international relocation.

Frequently asked questions about moving in Amsterdam
Do I need a parking permit for the moving van in Amsterdam?
In almost all of Amsterdam, yes — paid parking applies nearly everywhere, and for a moving van (and certainly a moving lift) you need a temporary exemption and reserved space from the municipality. Apply about two weeks ahead; we advise you and help arrange it on time.
How much does a move in Amsterdam cost?
Movers from €19 per hour and vans from €39 — noticeably below the usual Amsterdam rates. A studio takes 3–4 hours; a family home a full day. Request a quote and you'll have your exact price the same day.
My canal house has an impossibly steep staircase. How does my furniture get up?
The Amsterdam way: through the window. We set up a moving lift at the facade — the modern version of the hoisting beam your house was built with — and your furniture travels safely outside the staircase. Faster, safer and usually cheaper than stair work.
Can you move me into a tower on the Zuidas or in the Docklands?
Regularly — it's our own part of town. We reserve the freight elevator with the building manager, protect the elevator interior, and plan the loading dock timing.
What should I prepare before moving day?
The more that's boxed, labeled and disconnected before we arrive, the fewer hours you pay. Our complete moving day checklist walks you through it step by step.
Do your movers speak English?
Yes — fully. We move expats and internationals across Amsterdam every week; your entire move can be handled in English from first quote to final invoice.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three weeks gives the best choice of dates — and matches the parking-exemption timeline. End-of-month Fridays fill up first; short-notice and urgent moves are often possible too.
