How long does a flat-share move with a part load take?

Because a part load has several stops, collection and delivery depend on the route and not just on your preferred day. How long it takes depends on the distance and how busy we are; we agree the time window with you in advance.

How are my household goods protected with a part load?

With a part load , too, we are liable under the HGB, by law up to €620 per cubic metre (§ 451e HGB). For a laptop, instrument or expensive electronics this is often not enough – take them with you or ask about additional insurance.

Who is a flat-share move with a part load particularly suitable for?

Students and young professionals with a smaller moving volume benefit from this solution in particular. As usually only one room is transported, the part load can be used to best effect to save costs on a flat-share move .

Do I get a fixed delivery date with a part load?

An exact delivery day cannot always be promised with a part load because the route has several stops. We agree a realistic time window. If you need a fixed day, a dedicated transport via our private move is the better choice.

How is the fixed price calculated?

We calculate volume, distance and effort based on your inventory list or a survey and give you a fixed price . That way you know before the flat-share move what it will cost – even if the route takes longer.

Which documents do I need to re-register after the flat-share move?

You register at the registration office (Bürgeramt) within two weeks of moving in (§ 17 BMG). You need your ID and the landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung, § 19 BMG) – in a sublet flat share it is often issued by the main tenant.

Can I also use a part load for a long-distance move?

Yes, a part load is ideal for a long-distance move , as several customers are often transported on similar long routes anyway. Compared with a transport on your own, you save considerably on costs.

How can I best pack my flat-share room for a part load?

Use sturdy boxes, label them clearly and dismantle large pieces of furniture where possible. This makes loading much easier and ensures that your household goods are transported safely and compactly as part of the part load .

What happens if my flatmates move on different dates?

That is not unusual for a flat-share move . We coordinate the dates individually and can schedule individual rooms separately as part of a part load , so that every flatmate stays flexible.

In which regions do you offer flat-share moves with a part load?

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and plan part loads within Berlin and to other cities. You can find destinations with their own page under locations . Send us your route and we will check which tour fits.

Is a part load cheaper than a normal private move?

In most cases yes, as the transport costs are shared among several customers. If you need maximum flexibility on timing, however, a classic private move is often the more suitable solution for an individual flat-share move .

Flat-share move with a part load: pay only for the space your room needs

Move for less

Unsere Firma Bed, desk, shelf and twenty boxes: a flat-share room fills only part of the loading space.

A flat-share move differs from a classic private move because usually only one room moves rather than a whole flat. This is exactly where a part load (Beiladung) fits: your belongings share the loading space with other moves heading in the same direction, and you pay for the space they take up. "Beste Umzug Unternehmen" plans the route so that your room travels secured and labelled. We are liable for damage under the German Commercial Code (HGB) (§ 451e: €620 per m³) – on the shared trip as well.

This solution is especially worthwhile for students and young professionals who move more often, above all over long distances. The delivery day depends on the route, so you need a little flexibility. We give you the fixed price based on your inventory list or a survey – so you know in advance what the move will cost. You can find more details about our services under private move.

CARE IN A SHARED LOADING SPACE

What you can count on with a part load

Labelled, secured, clearly calculated

Even if your flat-share room takes up only part of the loading space, we treat it as an order in its own right: boxes and furniture are labelled, loaded separately from other consignments and secured against slipping. We are liable for damage under the HGB, and additional insurance for a laptop or instrument is possible. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and operate nationwide; you can find destinations with their own page under locations.

Well packed

Sturdy boxes of the same size stack safely next to other people's goods. With a packing service, loading goes faster.

Inventory list

Bed, desk, shelf, number of boxes: the more precise your list, the more precise the space in the lorry and the price.

Time window

Collection and delivery depend on the route. If you have a few days' leeway, you fit more easily into a route that is heading your way anyway.

Dismantled furniture

A dismantled bed needs far less space than an assembled one. We dismantle it and reassemble it at the destination – or you do it yourself and pay less for the move.

WHEN IT PAYS OFF

Part load or dedicated transport?

A part load saves money above all with small volumes and long distances. These points help you decide whether it suits your flat-share move or whether a dedicated transport is better.

Small volume

A flat-share room fills only part of a lorry. The less you take, the more the shared loading space pays off for your move.

Long distance

Within the city the advantage is small; for a move to another city it is large. There you share the kilometres with other customers.

Flexible date

If you depend on an exact delivery day, for example because your tenancy starts, you are better off booking a dedicated transport. With some leeway, the part load fits.

Flatmates

If several people from the flat share are moving in the same direction, a joint route can be cheaper. Agree dates and volumes in advance.

Access

A period building on the fourth floor without a lift costs carrying time even with a part load. State the floor and lift in your request so that the price is right.

Liability

With a part load, too, we are liable under the HGB at €620 per cubic metre. It is best to take your laptop and documents with you.

HOW IT WORKS

Your room on a shared route

Small move, small loading space

A part load saves costs because empty runs are avoided: bed, desk and boxes travel on a route that is planned anyway. Well suited to switching to a flat share in another university city or moving back in with your parents – with an agreed collection window and a secured load.

FLAT-SHARE SPECIFICS

What
a flat-share move involves

Flatmates, deposit, re-registration

A flat-share move has its own particularities: who is on the tenancy agreement, who gets which share of the deposit back, and who issues the landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung)? In a sublet flat share this is often the main tenant. You register at the registration office (Bürgeramt) within two weeks of moving in. The choice between a part load and a dedicated transport also matters for costs and schedule. If you are moving to another city, plan more lead time for a long-distance move.

Arrangements in the flat share

Move-out date, new tenant, share of the deposit: a flat-share move needs arrangements like a small private move – just with more people involved.

Pack to save space

Dismantle furniture, choose boxes of the same size, put clothes in bags: with a packing service, furniture transport and small transport for stragglers, your volume stays small.

Alternatives to a part load

Single pieces of furniture by furniture taxi, the whole room by part load. Larger projects such as an office move, company relocation or public authority move, on the other hand, run with a dedicated lorry.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about flat-share moves with a part load

Answers on price, delivery time and re-registration.

The costs depend on volume, distance and date. With a part load you share the loading space with other moves, which often makes the price considerably lower than a classic solo transport. We offer you a transparent fixed price with no hidden costs.

What is a part load in a flat-share move?

A part load means that your belongings are transported together with other loads on a lorry that is heading in the same direction anyway. You pay for the space your things take up, not for the whole lorry.

For a flat-share move, where usually only one room moves, this is especially attractive – above all over long distances. Flexibility on timing is important because the route has several stops.

How to organise a flat-share move

Clarify early with your flatmates when you are moving out, whether a new tenant is coming and how the deposit will be split. Ask the landlord of the new flat share for the landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung) that you need to re-register.

Draw up an inventory list of your room so that you can realistically estimate how much space you need for the part load. With it, our team can give you a fair fixed-price quote.

Starting prices for dedicated moves for comparison

Moving costs vary with the scope. As a rule: 1-room flats from €365, 2-room flats from €615, 3-room flats from €889, 4-room flats from €1,269. For houses and villas we always prepare an individual quote, as the requirements can vary greatly. For long-distance moves we charge from €4.20/km. Book a free survey to get exact figures.
