Moving and removal transport

A move is priced on volume, distance and how much carrying is involved. Describing those three things accurately is the difference between quotes you can compare and quotes that change on the day itself.

Estimating volume

Carriers think in cubic metres. A student room is roughly 8 to 12 m³, a two-bedroom apartment 20 to 30 m³, a family house often 40 m³ and up. Counting boxes and listing large items gives a far better estimate than the number of rooms alone.

Stairs, lifts and parking

Carrying distance drives the cost. Note the floor number, whether there is a lift big enough for furniture, how far the truck can park from the door, and whether a parking permit or a furniture lift is needed.

International moves

Cross-border moves are often combined with a return load, which makes them cheaper than people expect. Flexible dates help enormously here: a carrier driving back empty from your destination country will quote sharply.

What to include in your request

  • Estimated volume in cubic metres, or the number of rooms and boxes
  • Floor number and lift availability at both addresses
  • Distance from the parking spot to the front door
  • Large or heavy items: piano, safe, American fridge
  • Whether carrying and loading help is needed
  • Preferred moving date and any handover deadline

Frequently asked questions

Do carriers help with carrying and loading?

Many do. Mention floors, lifts and the help you need in the description so it is included in the all-in price.

Can I move to another country?

Yes. Add both countries and carriers driving that route — often on a return trip — will quote for it.

How far in advance should I post my move?

One to three weeks gives the widest choice of quotes. Urgent moves can be posted as an ASAP listing so carriers see them first.
