How does a long-distance move at a fixed price work?

For a long-distance move at a fixed price , we first record the volume, distance and individual wishes during a survey. From this we calculate a binding price covering all services from packing and transport to assembly. That way there are no unexpected extra costs, even if moving day is delayed or extra movers are needed.

What is a shared load and how do I save with it?

With a shared load , your belongings are carried in one vehicle together with other consignments, which improves the vehicle's utilisation. This noticeably lowers the cost per kilometre , especially on a long-distance move over very long routes. This saving option is particularly suitable for smaller moves without a tight schedule.

Are my belongings covered on a long-distance move?

Yes, we are liable for your belongings under the rules of the HGB, up to €620 per cubic metre of cargo space required (§ 451e HGB). Report visible damage by the day after delivery at the latest, hidden damage within 14 days. For particularly valuable items, additional insurance is available on request; valuables are best taken with you yourself.

How long does a long-distance move take on average?

The duration of a long-distance move depends heavily on the distance, the volume and the traffic. For routes of around 500 kilometres or more, we usually plan one to two days, including loading and unloading. With our fixed-price model you also get a realistic schedule so you can organise your moving day as well as possible.

What are the advantages of a fixed price on a long-distance move?

A fixed price on a long-distance move protects you from extra costs due to traffic jams, waiting times or a longer moving day for the agreed scope. You know the amount before signing the contract and can plan your budget. The quote states which services are included – such as packing, transport and assembly – and which are charged extra.

From what distance is a move considered long-distance?

As a rule, a move of around 50 to 100 kilometres or more counts as a long-distance move , although the exact definition can vary between providers. What usually matters is the greater logistical effort from longer driving times and greater distances. With us you always get a transparent fixed price , regardless of the exact number of kilometres.

Can I book my long-distance move abroad?

Yes, we also organise long-distance moves to other European countries at a binding fixed price . We take customs rules, border formalities and country-specific features into account for a smooth process. You can find more information on international routes under Long-distance moves , where we offer suitable solutions for your individual route.

Which factors affect the cost per kilometre?

The cost per kilometre on a long-distance move depends on factors such as the volume, route length, accessibility of the flats and the additional services booked. The option of a shared load can also lower the price per kilometre considerably. We are happy to prepare an individual quote that transparently takes all relevant cost factors into account.

Do you also offer a packing service for long-distance moves?

Yes, on request we take care of the complete packing service for your long-distance move , including materials and securing fragile items. You can optionally include this service in the fixed price ; it appears in the quote as a separate item. That leaves you more time before moving day for cancellations, re-registration and the handover.

How do I find the right removal company for a long-distance move?

When choosing a provider for your long-distance move , make sure that the price per kilometre and the other items are shown separately in the quote and that the price is set after a survey. A written fixed price and clear information on liability under the HGB are part of this. Places with their own pages can be found under our locations .

What happens if something is damaged during a long-distance move?

Damage is settled within the scope of statutory liability under the HGB, i.e. at current value and up to the upper limit of €620 per cubic metre. Document valuable items with photos in advance and report visible damage by the day after delivery at the latest. If you have questions about liability, you can reach us on 01625978461 .

Long-Distance Move at a Fixed Price: Cost per Kilometre

Q: How much does a long-distance move cost per kilometre?

The cost per kilometre for a long-distance move starts at around €4.10/km and depends on the distance, volume and additional services booked. On very long routes the price per kilometre often falls, as fixed costs such as the journey to you and staff are spread better. With our fixed-price model you know exactly what you will pay before signing the contract – with no hidden surcharges.

Price per kilometre, extra items and fixed price on a long-distance move

Understanding the costs

Unsere Firma Professional on-site moving solutions with secure planning, flexible services and on-time execution.

On a long-distance move, the route accounts for a large part of the costs: diesel, tolls, the team's driving time and wear on the lorry rise with every kilometre. That is why we quote a price per kilometre – at Beste Umzug Unternehmen from €4.10/km. But the price per kilometre is only one building block: carrying, floors, packing and assembly are added. The end result is a fixed price that you know before the move. For home moves you can find more under Private move.

Before every long-distance move we record the distance, the volume and the conditions at both addresses, ideally during a survey. This shows how many movers, which lorry and how many days are needed. Only then can the fixed price be quoted reliably – a pure kilometre calculation over the phone remains an estimate. Places with their own pages can be found in the Locations overview.

Route, volume, floors – one fixed price

Call us on 01625978461 and give us the start and destination address, floors and a rough furniture list. From this we calculate the cost per kilometre and the other items, and after the survey we give you a fixed price. That way you know what the route will cost before the move.

Quotes available individually based on workload, scheduling and the desired scope of services.

TRANSPARENTLY CALCULATED

How the price for your long-distance move comes about

Four steps to a fixed price

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21, Moabit) and calculate every long-distance move using the same building blocks: route, volume, effort at both addresses and additional services. The fixed price is in the quote before you book – for larger households after a survey. Our liability for your belongings follows the rules of the HGB; whether additional insurance makes sense is something we discuss in advance. Read more about the process under Long-distance move.

Measure the route

The basis is the actual road distance between the two addresses, not the straight-line distance. It determines the kilometre share and the number of travel days.

Record the volume

The furniture list or survey gives the moving volume in cubic metres – and with it the lorry size, number of movers and time for loading and unloading.

Check the addresses

We clarify the floor, lift, carrying distance and a possible parking restriction zone at the start and destination in advance, because they change the effort more than a few kilometres do.

Quote a fixed price

All items together make up the fixed price in the quote. Additional services such as a packing service or assembly are listed there separately so you can choose.

COSTS IN VIEW

What counts besides the kilometres

The cost per kilometre covers the journey. But whether your long-distance move at a fixed price turns out cheaper or more expensive is also decided by these six items – they appear in the quote alongside the route share.

Volume

More cubic metres mean a bigger lorry and more hands. If you sort things out before the move, you save on volume – and therefore on price.

Floors and distances

A fourth floor without a lift or a 40-metre walk across a courtyard costs time at both addresses. This goes into the fixed price, regardless of the route.

Travel days

Because of driving and rest times, a lorry can only cover a certain distance per day. If a second day is needed, the effort for team and vehicle rises.

Parking restriction

A parking restriction zone in front of both buildings shortens carrying distances. In Berlin the permit takes around four weeks, and signs must be up 72 hours in advance.

Additional services

Packing, furniture assembly, storage or disposal are not included in the price per kilometre and appear in the quote as separate items.

Fixed price in advance

Once the fixed price is set, the removal company bears the risk of traffic jams or extra time for the agreed scope – not you.

NATIONWIDE SERVICE

A shared load lowers the route share

Small move, small price

With a shared load, your belongings travel on a lorry that is heading in your direction anyway. The cost per kilometre is then shared between several customers. In return, we agree a time window instead of a fixed day – a good idea for small loads without time pressure.

EUROPE-WIDE MOVES

Your
move, our craft

Methodical and reliable

A long-distance move involves more than the journey: dates at both addresses, a parking restriction zone, packing and, for destinations abroad, questions about tolls and access. We advise you on this so that nothing is left to chance. Whether a fixed price or hourly billing suits you better is explained in the guide Fixed price or hourly rate. Destinations with their own pages can be found under Long-distance moving services and via the Locations.

Planning safe and relaxed

A good checklist coordinates dates, helpers and materials early. That way your home move, senior move or student move in Berlin stays transparent, structured and markedly easier to control.

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

With a suitable packing service, careful furniture transport and a flexible small transport, ways can be shortened, damage avoided and even narrow approaches in Berlin managed cleanly in logistical terms.

Costs, timing and special cases

Clear time windows and suitable solutions for an office move, company move, authority move, part load or furniture taxi create reliable processes and better plannable total costs in Berlin.

FAQ

Questions about price per kilometre and fixed price

Price per kilometre, travel days, shared loads and liability on a long-distance move – answered briefly.

The cost per kilometre for a long-distance move starts at around €4.10/km and depends on the distance, volume and additional services booked. On very long routes the price per kilometre often falls, as fixed costs such as the journey to you and staff are spread better. With our fixed-price model you know exactly what you will pay before signing the contract – with no hidden surcharges.

How a long-distance move at a fixed price works

It starts with a survey or a video call in which we record the volume, distance and conditions at both addresses. On this basis we prepare a binding fixed price for your long-distance move, covering the agreed services from packing to transport.

On moving day our team packs and loads, drives the route and reassembles at the destination. On long routes we plan the statutory breaks and, if necessary, a second travel day from the outset so that the arrival date is realistic.

Cost per kilometre: what you can expect

The cost per kilometre for a long-distance move starts with us from €4.10/km and depends on the volume, the length of the route and the additional services booked. It covers diesel, driving time and tolls – in Germany the lorry toll has applied from 3.5 t since July 2024. The longer the route, the lower the price per kilometre often turns out, as fixed costs such as loading and unloading are spread better.

A shared load can lower the cost per kilometre further, because several moves travel together. That way your long-distance move at a fixed price remains predictable even over long distances.
