Furniture Transport to the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic has been part of the European Union and the Schengen Area since 2004. For furniture and household goods from Germany there is no customs clearance and no import duties; you do not have to show proof or purchase receipts at the border. Since 2024 Germany has been carrying out temporary checks at its land borders, which can mean waiting time but changes nothing for household goods. You still need a packing list: it determines the loading space in the quote, and on delivery you tick off every item.

For a shared load, the name, delivery address and number of items go on every piece of furniture and every box; screws go into a labelled bag attached to the furniture. You transport valuables and documents yourself. If you are moving to the Czech Republic yourself and staying longer than 30 days, report your place of residence to the foreign police within 30 days, unless your landlord does this – details are in our emigration checklist.

From Berlin to Prague it is about 352 km via the A13, A17 and the D8; Pilsen is about 441 km away, and Brno via the D1 about 558 km. For a few pieces of furniture to Prague, a van up to 3.5 t is often enough: it usually manages collection, journey and delivery in one day and only needs an e-vignette on Czech motorways. Heavier vehicles pay a distance-based toll via an on-board unit and are subject to entry restrictions in Prague.

A shared load is the cheaper choice if you accept a delivery window instead of a fixed day: your furniture travels with other jobs heading towards the Czech Republic. We set the price after a survey or a furniture list; collection, journey, vignette or toll and delivery are listed separately in the quote. At the destination we clarify the floor, lift and stopping place – in Prague's Old Town access is often tight. Photos of the entrance and stairwell help us with planning.

The costs depend on the size of the flat and the distance. Smaller 1-room flats move from €369. Slightly larger 2-room flats start from €589. For 3 rooms we calculate from €905, for 4 rooms from €1,309. If it is a house or villa, we always prepare an individual quote. For long-distance moves a per-kilometre price from €4.25 also applies.

The price of your move is made up of several factors: the volume of your household, the distance between the old and new flat (from €4.25/km) and the floor and whether there is a lift. A required parking restriction zone is also reflected in the costs. Additional services such as furniture assembly or a shared load can also change the price.
