How is a long-distance move across Germany organised?

A long-distance move across Germany begins with a survey, followed by an individual schedule for packing, transport and delivery. We carefully coordinate the route, driving times and stopovers so that the long distance between north and south is covered efficiently. Our team is your fixed contact throughout the entire process.

What is a part load and when is it worth it?

With a shared load , your belongings share the cargo area with other customers travelling a similar route. This lowers transport costs considerably, especially for smaller moving volumes over long distances. The delivery time may be somewhat more flexible, as several destinations are served. Ideal for price-conscious customers with little time pressure.

How long does a long-distance move from northern to southern Germany take?

Hamburg–Munich is around 776 km by road. Because a lorry driver may drive for no more than 9 hours a day, a second driver comes along on this route or the trip is planned with an overnight stop; the transport alone then takes one to two days. Loading and unloading come on top. With a well-planned long-distance move , everything is usually done in two to three days.

Are my belongings insured during a long-distance move?

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 important documents with you yourself; for expensive individual items, additional insurance is available on request.

Can I get a fixed price for a long-distance move?

Of course – we calculate every long-distance move at a binding fixed price , based on distance, volume and the additional services you want. That way you have full cost certainty from the start and no nasty surprises on moving day. You can get an individual quote quickly and without obligation by phone or after a survey.

Which cities are typically served on north–south long-distance moves?

Moves often go from Hamburg, Bremen, Hanover or Berlin in the north to Munich, Stuttgart, Nuremberg or Freiburg in the south. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21); places with their own pages can be found under Locations . For every route we check kilometres, driving time and access in advance so that the planning and execution of your long-distance move fit.

What exactly does the per-kilometre rate for a long-distance move cost?

Our per-kilometre rate starts from €4.25 per kilometre and also depends on moving volume, number of floors and the staff required. Depending on the route and effort, the price may vary slightly, but it is always set out transparently in advance in the fixed price. That way you know exactly what total costs to expect when you sign the contract.

How can I save costs on a long-distance move?

A popular way to save is a shared load , where your belongings are transported together with those of other customers. Choosing a flexible date outside the peak season and packing yourself can also lower costs. We are happy to advise you individually on which options best suit your long-distance move and bring the greatest savings.

Do you also handle furniture transport over very long distances?

Yes, we also transport furniture over long distances between northern and southern Germany. Furniture is padded, secured with straps and loaded in a fixed order, whether it is 300 or 800 kilometres. That way your belongings stay as well protected as possible, even on long journeys.

How early should I book a long-distance move?

For a smooth long-distance move across Germany we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, especially in the peak season between spring and autumn. That way we can plan in enough staff, vehicles and the right route for your journey. Short-notice moves are also possible, subject to availability.

Do you also offer private moves over long distances?

Yes, our focus is on reliable private moves over both short and very long distances, for example from northern to southern Germany. Details of our services can be found under Private move . We take care of planning, packing and transport so that your long-distance move goes without stress.

What counts over 700 kilometres and more

Driving time in view

A lorry driver may drive for no more than 9 hours a day. On around 776 km, as with Hamburg–Munich, one driver is often not enough to do it in a single day.

Second driver or a stop

For very long routes we plan in a second driver or an overnight stop – which applies is stated in your quote.

Arrival in daylight

We time departure and breaks so that there is enough time at the destination in the south for unloading and reassembly – ideally still in daylight.

A well-secured load

Padded furniture, ratchet straps and a fixed loading order protect your furnishings over many hours on the motorway.

RIGHT ACROSS GERMANY

The costs per kilometre of a long-distance move depend on distance, moving volume and additional services. With us, prices start from €4.25 per kilometre, calculated as a fair fixed price.

Reliable moving service

We agree the loading day, driving day and delivery day with you in advance so that your long-distance move from north to south stays plannable at both ends.

Safe handling

Your belongings are padded and loaded in the north and unloaded in the south in the order in which you need them.

Clear communication

The quote lists the price per kilometre, staff and additional services separately so that the fixed price is easy to follow.

NATIONWIDE SERVICE

Part loads: move affordably

Combine cleverly, move affordably

A shared load is worthwhile if you have only a few belongings to move over a long route such as Hamburg–Munich or Bremen–Stuttgart. We check whether a suitable trip in your direction is scheduled when you enquire; we tell you the delivery window in advance, and it is usually less fixed than with a lorry of your own.

How your long-distance move from north to south works

Every long-distance move begins with a free survey or video consultation, in which we record the scope, floors and special items. We then draw up a detailed schedule including packing day, transport day and, if necessary, interim storage, so that the long route is organised smoothly.

On moving day our team takes care of proper packing, transport in a suitable removal lorry and loading and unloading at both locations. Thanks to a fixed contact person and ongoing communication, you always keep track of your long-distance move across Germany.

Long routes: driving times and load securing

Routes between northern and southern Germany are often 600 to over 800 kilometres long: Hamburg–Stuttgart around 655 km, Hamburg–Munich around 776 km. Under EU law, a lorry driver may drive for no more than 9 hours a day and must take a 45-minute break after 4.5 hours. Because a removal lorry travels more slowly than a car, Hamburg–Munich exceeds this limit; for this we plan in a second driver or an overnight stop.

We secure every load with blankets and straps. We are liable for damage under the HGB, limited to €620 per cubic metre; report visible damage by the day after delivery at the latest.

Honest prices for your move

We believe in transparency: 1-room flats from €354, 2-room flats from €605, 3-room flats from €905, 4-room flats from €1,289. If you live in a house or villa, we will prepare an individual quote for you. For long-distance moves: from €4.25/km. Arrange a free survey today.

What does the price of your move depend on?

Key criteria are the moving volume, the distance (from €4.25/km) and the floor, with or without a lift. A reserved parking restriction zone ensures things run smoothly. If needed, we add furniture assembly or a shared load to your move.

That is how varied our services are

Whatever challenge your move brings – we have the solution.
