From what price per kilometre do you calculate a long-distance move?

We calculate long-distance moves from as little as €3.95 per kilometre , depending on vehicle size, route length and additional services such as packing or assembly. Depending on moving volume and destination, the price per kilometre may vary slightly. Full transparency always matters to us, so that there are no hidden costs. Your final fixed price is set bindingly before the contract is signed.

What is a shared load and how does it save me money?

With a shared load , your belongings are transported in the same vehicle together with other shipments, so the transport costs can be split. This option is particularly suitable for smaller moving volumes over long distances. Compared with sole transport, you often save considerably. We are happy to advise you on whether a shared load makes sense for your long-distance move.

How does a long-distance move with you work?

The process begins with a free survey or an online record of your belongings. We then draw up a binding fixed-price quote without hidden costs. On moving day our team takes care of packing, transport and, if required, furniture assembly at the destination. With a fixed contact person and clear communication, your long-distance move runs smoothly and without stress from start to finish.

Are my belongings insured during a long-distance move?

For long-distance moves we are liable for your belongings under the HGB, limited to €620 per cubic metre. Report visible damage by the day after delivery at the latest, and hidden damage within 14 days. It is best to take valuables and documents with you yourself. For expensive individual items, additional insurance is available on request – it is then listed as a separate item in the quote.

How far in advance should I plan a long-distance move?

For a smooth long-distance move we recommend a lead time of at least four to six weeks, especially in the high season. That way you secure your preferred date and give us enough time for a precise cost calculation. If you need us at short notice, we will still try to offer flexible solutions. An early enquiry with the details from this long-distance move cost calculator helps considerably with scheduling.

How much does a long-distance move for a 3-room flat cost?

The costs for a 3-room flat depend heavily on distance, volume, floor and additional services. You can find the price per kilometre from €3.95 and the starting prices by number of rooms in the overview above; we only give a total price for a specific route after the survey, because carrying distances, lift and amount of furniture vary greatly. For a binding quote we recommend a personal consultation.

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

Yes, we offer a comprehensive packing service for your long-distance move , including high-quality packing materials and proper protection of delicate items. This service can be added flexibly to your fixed-price quote. Especially over long distances, you benefit from the extra security of professional packing. That way your belongings arrive at the destination undamaged.

What are the advantages of a fixed price for a long-distance move – and what about tax?

A fixed price gives you cost certainty: what has been agreed only changes if the scope changes. The quote lists all booked services, from transport and staff to assembly or a parking restriction. This makes budgeting easier, especially for costly long-distance moves . Keep the invoice: labour costs for a private move can be deducted from your tax as a household-related service (haushaltsnahe Dienstleistung) at 20% (up to €4,000 a year).

Can I have my long-distance move carried out abroad?

Yes, on request we also carry out long-distance moves to other European countries and calculate the costs based on the total route. Depending on the country, items such as foreign lorry tolls or, for example in Switzerland, customs clearance are added; who handles these is stated in the quote. Contact us for an individual quote for your international move.

How does a long-distance move differ in price from a regional move?

A long-distance move also takes into account driving time, fuel costs and any overnight stays for the moving team, which raises the price per kilometre slightly compared with regional moves. On top of that come lorry tolls and, on very long routes, the 9-hour driving limit; the price per kilometre starts from €3.95 per kilometre . The long-distance move cost calculator above shows you which items drop out or are added. That way you can easily compare both types of move at a glance.

What happens if the moving volume changes at short notice?

If your moving volume changes at short notice, we adjust the fixed price transparently and fairly to the new situation. We inform you immediately about any cost changes before the long-distance move takes place. Our aim is to ensure full cost control even with spontaneous changes. Simply get in touch with us by phone early on to discuss adjustments.

MAXIMUM CARE

How your fixed price is set

Easy to follow instead of a lump sum

A fair fixed price for a long-distance move is made up of several items: kilometres, volume, staff and time, access at both addresses and additional services. We record these items during the survey and list them separately in the quote. We are liable for your belongings under the HGB, limited to €620 per cubic metre; additional insurance is available on request. Pages on individual places can be found under Locations.

Kilometres

The road distance between the old and new address is the basis; we charge from €3.95 per kilometre, depending on the vehicle.

Volume

How many cubic metres of furniture and boxes come along determines the vehicle size and team strength – a furniture list makes the estimate more accurate.

Access

Floor, lift, carrying distance and parking at both addresses affect working time; a parking restriction zone (Halteverbotszone) shortens distances.

Additional services

Packing, furniture assembly, a furniture lift or storage are listed separately in the quote – you only book what you really need.

CALCULATED TRANSPARENTLY

Services that fit

A good cost calculator is honest: it shows which items are fixed and which only become clear during the survey. That way you avoid surprises on your long-distance move.

Reliable moving service

We only give a fixed price once volume and access are known – then it also applies on the day of your move.

Safe handling

Kilometres, staff, vehicle and additional services are listed separately in the quote so that you can follow every item.

Clear communication

We include lorry tolls, a parking restriction and, if necessary, an overnight stay for the team, instead of naming them later as a surcharge.

Structured move planning

If the volume changes, for example because you sort out more, we adjust the price transparently before moving day.

Flexible support

We show you where you can save: a shared load, doing some of the packing yourself or a date during the week.

A clear invoice

The invoice shows labour costs separately – you need this if you want to claim the move in your tax return.

NATIONWIDE SERVICE

Part loads: move affordably

Combine cleverly, move affordably

If you have few belongings, work out both options: a lorry of your own with a fixed date or a shared load with a flexible delivery window. We check whether a suitable trip is scheduled for your route when you enquire. The same HGB liability applies to your belongings in both cases, and we give you the price in advance as a fixed price.

service without compromise

Stress-free from A to B

A long-distance move brings cost items that hardly exist for a move within the city: lorry tolls, more driving time and, on very long routes, an overnight stop or a second driver, because one driver may drive for no more than 9 hours a day. With the shared load option you share the cargo space with other customers. Especially on routes over 300 kilometres it is worth comparing sole transport and a shared load. All details of our route options can be found under Long-distance moves.

Planning safe and relaxed

For a good estimate you need: both addresses, floors and lift, a furniture list, the number of boxes and your preferred date. This makes the quote for your private move considerably more accurate.

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

If you pack yourself, you save labour time; if you book the packing service, you save your own time. Both are listed as separate items in the quote, as is furniture transport of individual pieces.

Costs, timing and special cases

Weekday dates, fewer household goods and a shared load lower the costs; a furniture lift, storage or a second driver raise them. Everything is stated in the quote in advance.

How to use this long-distance move cost calculator

Costs per kilometre for a long-distance move

Our costs per kilometre start from €3.95, depending on vehicle size, route length and additional services. Besides this, there are items that do not depend on the kilometres: lorries over 3.5 t pay tolls, and more than 9 hours of driving requires an overnight stop or a second driver.

If you want to save costs, look into a shared load, where several moves are transported together. We work out both options for you in advance.

How your moving price is calculated

For an exact price, the moving volume, the number of kilometres (from €3.95/km) as well as the floor and lift play an important role. We also take into account whether a parking restriction zone needs to be set up. On request we also handle furniture assembly or a shared load.
