Do I have to pay customs duty when moving to Austria?

No, within the European Union no customs duty is payable on private household goods. Furniture and personal belongings travel without a customs declaration, including on the way through Czechia. Separate rules apply to vehicles: if you move your main residence to Austria, you must register your car there within a set period.

How much does a long-distance move to Eisenstadt cost?

The cost depends on volume, distance and additional services such as packing or assembly – from Berlin it is around 737 km. You will find the price per kilometre in our price overview. After a free survey or virtual consultation, you receive a written fixed price. Smaller loads become cheaper with a part load; extra costs arise only for services you request later.

How does a move to Eisenstadt work?

First we clarify volume, dates and formalities during a survey or by video. Then come packing, loading in Berlin, the drive of around eleven and a half hours with breaks and assembly in Eisenstadt. We set out the schedule in the quote so you can plan the key handover. On request, storage can be added if moving out and moving in do not line up.

What is special about moving to Burgenland?

Eisenstadt is Austria's smallest state capital, and distances are short. In Austria, registration requires the registration form (Meldezettel) signed by the accommodation provider, with a three-day deadline. The town centre has a short-stay parking zone and a pedestrian zone – we clarify in advance with the Magistrat where the lorry may stop. You take bulky waste to the town's recycling centre.

Are my household goods insured during a long-distance move?

We are liable for damage to your household goods under the German Commercial Code, under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre of loading space. For particularly valuable items, we recommend additional insurance, which we discuss with you. Report visible damage no later than the day after delivery, and concealed damage within 14 days.

How does a part load work for a move to Eisenstadt?

With a part load , your household goods are transported together with other consignments on the same route, which reduces the cost considerably. This option is particularly suitable for smaller volumes without a tight timeframe. In return, you get a time window rather than a fixed delivery day; we will tell you after your enquiry whether a run fits.

When should I plan my long-distance move to Eisenstadt?

We recommend planning your long-distance move at least six to eight weeks in advance to allow enough time for formalities and coordinating dates. In the main season between spring and autumn in particular, dates should be secured early. That way you avoid bottlenecks and secure flexible capacity for your move.

Do you also handle furniture assembly in Eisenstadt?

Yes, in addition to transport our service includes professional furniture assembly on site in Eisenstadt. That saves you extra work after arrival and lets you use your new home straight away. Details of this additional service can also be found under private move .

Which documents do I need to register my residence in Eisenstadt?

To register, you need the completed registration form (Meldezettel), signed by you and by the accommodation provider, as well as a travel document such as an identity card or passport. Registration must take place within three days of moving in at the Magistrat Eisenstadt. Schedule the appointment right after moving day.

Do you also plan moves from Eisenstadt to Berlin?

Yes. We start in Berlin-Moabit and drive the roughly 737 km via Prague and Brno – we plan the return route from Eisenstadt to Berlin in exactly the same way: survey or video appointment, fixed price, loading in Eisenstadt, parking restriction in Berlin via the district office (Bezirksamt), where the signs go up 72 hours in advance. More under International moving .

How much does storage cost if the new flat is not ready yet?

If your new home in Eisenstadt is not yet ready to move into, your household goods can be put into storage. The cost depends on volume and storage period and is stated in advance in the fixed-price quote. That way you bridge the time until moving in without the stress of a double move; delivery takes place on the new date you agree with us.

Can I register online in Eisenstadt?

According to the town of Eisenstadt, registration via the internet is not possible. However, the Meldezettel form is available to download as a PDF. The registration form must be signed by the occupant and by the accommodation provider.

Where can I dispose of bulky waste in Eisenstadt?

According to the town of Eisenstadt, the recycling centre at Lobäckerstraße 66 accepts bulky waste in household quantities, such as mattresses, carpets, dismantled furniture, windows and doors. Flat clearances must be registered in advance. Information is available on 02682 64 148.

Do I need a permit in Eisenstadt to drive into the pedestrian zone?

The town of Eisenstadt offers the "Ausnahmebewilligung Zufahrt Fußgängerzone" (exemption for access to the pedestrian zone) for this; you submit the application to the town. Ask the traffic department at verkehr@eisenstadt.at whether your address is affected. Give us the address and we will take it into account in the planning.

From Berlin to Eisenstadt

Long-distance move to Eisenstadt – from Berlin to Burgenland

Guide

Unsere Firma comes from Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and drives around 737 km right up to your new front door in Eisenstadt.

A move to Eisenstadt is a long-distance move from Germany to Austria – and usually leads through Czechia. Because all three countries are in the EU, your household goods need no customs papers. Other things matter for planning: the tolls in Czechia and Austria, statutory driving times and the registration form (Meldezettel), with which you register with the city authority (Magistrat) within three days. We handle packing, transport and furniture assembly in your new home and plan the long route with the statutory breaks, so the lorry is outside your door at the agreed time.

We come from Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and drive around 737 km on the A13 to Dresden, on the D8 to Prague, the D1 to Brno and on past Vienna via the A3 to Eisenstadt. By lorry that takes about eleven and a half hours including breaks – with two drivers or an overnight stop. We quote the fixed price after the survey, including the return trip. Details: Move Berlin – Eisenstadt.

What we handle on your move to Eisenstadt

Planned in Berlin, arriving in Burgenland

We have no branch in Burgenland; we come by lorry from Berlin-Moabit. That is why we clarify access, floor and parking space in Eisenstadt in advance, as well as the tolls on the route through Czechia and Austria. We are liable for your belongings under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre, and additional insurance is available for valuables. We quote the fixed price after a survey or a video appointment; we coordinate moving day with your key handover and your start at work.

Packing service

With our packing service, your boxes are padded and labelled by room, so that in Eisenstadt everything goes straight into the right room.

Office move

Companies relocating to Eisenstadt get a schedule for their office move covering packing day, the drive and setting up the workstations.

Senior moves

When parents move to Eisenstadt to be near their children, we allow more time and reassemble beds and wardrobes on arrival day – on a senior move.

Furniture transport

For furniture transport to Eisenstadt, we dismantle large pieces, pad them with blankets and secure them in the lorry with straps.

PLANNABLE FROM BERLIN

Our range of services

When transporting your valuables to Eisenstadt, we pay attention to safety: we pack jewellery, documents and fragile items separately. It is best to take particularly valuable items with you yourself or insure them additionally.

Loading time and arrival planned

Departure in Berlin and arrival in Eisenstadt are fixed in writing beforehand, so that your landlord, property manager or caretaker is ready with the keys on moving day.

Access sorted

We ask about floor, lift, walking distance and parking in advance – whether in the town centre or in Kleinhöflein – so that enough carriers are scheduled for your move.

Parking for the lorry

We check in advance whether the removal van needs a permit from the city authority (Magistrat) – especially in the town centre around Esterházy Palace and the pedestrian zone.

Planned backwards

We plan backwards from move-in day: giving notice on your old flat, packing dates, the parking restriction and the drive then fit precisely with the handover of your new home in Eisenstadt.

Interim storage possible

If moving out in Berlin and moving in to Eisenstadt are not on the same day, we can store your household goods until the handover date.

Ready to settle in

Beds and wardrobes are set up on arrival day, the boxes are in the right rooms – and you have time for the registration form (Meldezettel) at the city authority in Eisenstadt.

FOR SMALL LOADS

Move affordably with a part load

Share load space, cut costs

With a part load, your belongings travel on a run towards Eisenstadt together with other consignments. For small loads this cuts the cost considerably; in return, you get a time window rather than a fixed delivery day. Once you enquire, we will tell you whether a suitable run is currently planned.
