🔁 What Affects Moving Costs the Most?

Understanding the key cost drivers can help you make smarter choices and avoid unexpected expenses. Here’s what can influence your final moving price:

• 🏢 Stairs vs. Elevator
  Many buildings in Amsterdam don’t have elevators. If you’re moving from or to a higher floor without elevator access, it may require extra time or the use of a moving lift, which affects the total cost.
• 🚫 Parking & Permits
  Amsterdam requires special permits from the Gemeente to reserve parking spots for moving trucks.
  • You may need 1–2 spots per address (pickup and delivery)
  • This can add €150 to €450 depending on the neighborhood
  • We assist in arranging permits to ensure your move goes smoothly and legally
• 🚚 Distance Between Locations
  Although most Amsterdam moves are within a short radius, longer distances between addresses or restricted street access can increase time and fuel costs.
• 📦 Volume and Size of Items
  The more belongings you have — especially large furniture or fragile items like pianos or glass — the more time, care, and materials will be required.
• 🧰 Packing Materials & Boxes
  We offer 20 free boxes for your move. Additional boxes or professional packing services will slightly increase your total, but they can save you hours of work and stress.
