From Berlin to Vlissingen: route, driving times and registration
Two days to the North Sea
A move to Vlissingen is a long route: around 809 km from Berlin via the A2, the Ruhr area, Venlo and Eindhoven to the end of the A58 in Zeeland. There is no customs duty on household goods within the EU; what needs planning are the lorry's driving times, the Dutch lorry charge and your registration appointment with the gemeente. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and accompany you from the first survey to the last box. We give you the fixed price after the survey.
For your private move to Zeeland we provide the team, packing materials and a suitable vehicle. Under private move you will find all the services, which we put together individually. Your belongings are covered by liability under the German Commercial Code (HGB) (§ 451e: €620 per m³), and additional insurance is available on request. You handle dealings with the authorities, such as registration, in person – we set the delivery day to match.

For smaller quantities we offer a part load: your household goods travel together with other consignments heading to the Netherlands. Especially on the long route to Vlissingen, this lowers the costs; in return the delivery day is somewhat more flexible.

Questions about a long-distance move to Vlissingen
No customs, but deadlines: paperwork for Vlissingen
As the Netherlands is a member of the EU, there is no customs declaration for private removal goods when moving to Vlissingen. A complete inventory list, valid ID and the tenancy or purchase agreement are still useful. For pets the EU pet passport applies, and for cars the registration rules of the RDW (Dutch vehicle authority).
According to the gemeente, anyone staying longer than four months registers in person within five days of arrival; you arrange the appointment by phone on 14 0118. Foreign certificates must be originals and may not be more than one year old. You then receive your citizen service number (BSN). In Berlin you deregister if you are not keeping a home there.
Schedule for the 809 km to Vlissingen
The route runs around 809 km via the A2 into the Ruhr area, via the A42 and A40 to the border at Venlo, then via the A67 to Eindhoven and the A58 via Tilburg, Breda and Goes to Vlissingen. According to route planners, a car needs a good eight hours; under EU law a removal lorry must take breaks and may usually drive no more than nine hours a day. We therefore plan two days with an overnight stop.
In Berlin you apply for the no-parking zone (Halteverbot) about four weeks in advance; the signs must be in place at least three full days before the move. You can add packing service, furniture assembly and interim storage as required. We do not give flat average prices.
Price range for the move from Berlin
Whether small or large – with us you pay a fair price. A 1-room flat moves from €354, a 2-room flat from €584. Larger households such as a 3-room flat start at €909, a 4-room flat at €1,324. For houses and villas there is an individual quote, and we charge long-distance moves from €3.95/km. Book your free survey now.
What determines the price to Vlissingen
Whether a move turns out cheaper or more expensive depends on the volume, the distance (from €3.95/km) and the floor. An existing lift can lower the costs, and a parking restriction zone (Halteverbotszone) makes loading and unloading easier. Additional services such as furniture assembly or part load complete the offer.

Route Berlin – Vlissingen: bridge times, tunnel and lorry rules
Vlissingen lies in Zeeland. In Berlin, the no-parking zone (Halteverbot) in front of your door secures space for the lorry: according to the Berlin ServicePortal, processing by the road traffic authority takes about four weeks on average, and the fee starts at 21 euros. En route, the EU driving times under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 apply: nine hours of driving per day, ten twice a week, a 45-minute break after four and a half hours, and eleven hours of daily rest. The journey is therefore often spread over more than one day.
In the Netherlands, according to vrachtwagenheffing.nl, lorries over 3,500 kg gross weight pay a distance-based charge, including foreign vehicles. If the route goes through the Westerschelde Tunnel (6.6 km, connecting Zeeuws-Vlaanderen and Zuid-Beveland), vehicles over three metres high pay 18.20 euros (category 3) or 25.00 euros (category 4) per passage according to the operator; roughly every four weeks, night-time maintenance routes traffic through a single tube.
In Vlissingen itself, bridges affect the schedule: according to the municipality, closure periods (bloktijden) under the Province of Zeeland's regulation have applied since 2013 to the Keersluisbrug, Sloebrug, Dokbrug and the swing bridge (Draaibrug) in Oost-Souburg. The municipality does not state the hours; they are on zeeland.nl. Vlissingen does not appear in the list of zero-emission zones on opwegnaarzes.nl. Background in the guide Moving to Vlissingen.
Vlissingen: Boulevard De Ruyter, bulky waste and registration
New access rules have applied since 1 April 2026: on Boulevard De Ruyter, from 1 April to 1 November, a closure applies on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 12 noon to midnight. According to the municipality, residents, business owners, guests and suppliers with a verifiable destination on the boulevard or in Coosje Buskenstraat, among others, may enter; no exemption permit is required for this, but if checked you must be able to state your destination. For the Evertsen and Bankert boulevards, by contrast, the municipality requires an exemption because of camera surveillance.
Old furniture? The municipality collects bulky waste for a fee: in 2026 one cubic metre costs 50.39 euros, with a maximum of two cubic metres per collection; appointments on 14 0118. The items must be on the pavement by 7.30 am. The municipality collects electrical appliances and metal free of charge by appointment; for the Milieustraat (recycling centre) you have needed the Zeeuwse Afvalpas since 1 November 2025.
On registration: according to the municipality, anyone staying more than four months registers in person within five days of arrival. Appointments are given exclusively by phone on 14 0118; bring ID, your tenancy or purchase agreement and original certificates that are not more than one year old. More on this in the guide for newcomers to Vlissingen.
