Long-Distance Moves: Process Costs & Checklist
Moving company Berlin
Planning a long-distance move – from the survey to reassembly
Long distances, a clear plan
A long-distance move places special demands on planning: loading and unloading are often several hundred kilometres apart, with statutory driving times and two addresses where the lorry has to park close to the door. At Beste Umzug Unternehmen you receive a fixed price after the survey, stating which services are included. On request we take care of packing, transport and furniture assembly, for example from Berlin to Munich or another city. How many movers and which vehicle are needed depends on the volume we record during the survey.
We handle both private moves and commercial long-distance moves and tailor the scope of services to your needs. You can find out more under Private move. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and drive from here to your destination; pages on individual places can be found under Locations. That way your long-distance move is planned from the survey to the very last box.
A fixed price for your long-distance move – agreed after the survey
What is included is stated in the quote
Tell us your starting and destination address, the size of your flat and your preferred date for your long-distance move. After the survey you receive a fixed price listing transport, staff and any additional services booked; this price also applies on moving day as long as the scope does not change. Simply call us on 01625978461 or request your quote online.
Quotes available individually based on workload, scheduling and the desired scope of services.
What matters over long distances
Planning, care & fair prices
With long-distance moves, different things matter than with a move round the corner: how long may the driver drive in one go? Where will the lorry park at the destination? What happens if the new flat is only free a day later? We clarify these questions before you book. We are liable for damage to your belongings under the HGB; liability is limited to €620 per cubic metre, so it is best to transport jewellery and documents yourself. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21); pages on places can be found under Locations.

From
planning to assembly
A long-distance move differs considerably from a local move, as factors such as route planning, drivers' rest periods and interim storage play a bigger role. We are happy to advise you on all relevant aspects of your move, from the best way to pack to choosing a suitable moving date. Special topics such as transporting pianos, artworks or delicate furniture are also handled professionally. You can find more details about what we offer on our Long-distance moves page.

Frequently asked questions about long-distance moves
The long-distance move process in detail
A professional long-distance move begins with a free survey or virtual assessment of the moving volume so that the fixed price can be calculated precisely. This is followed by detailed route planning that takes into account distance, traffic and possible stopovers.
On moving day our staff take care of proper packing, safe transport and assembling the furniture at your new home. Clear communication and a fixed contact person mean you always keep track throughout the entire long-distance move.
Costs per kilometre and ways to save
The costs of a long-distance move start at around €3.95 per kilometre and vary depending on moving volume, floor and additional services such as packing or assembly. If you plan cleverly, you can save considerably with a shared load, as the cargo space is shared with other moves.
The date can also play a role, for example a weekend or the end of the month; whether a surcharge applies is stated in the quote in advance. After that, the agreed fixed price only changes if the scope changes.

Transparency matters to us – which is why we recommend a free on-site survey.
Moving price check: these factors count
Besides the volume, the distance (from €3.95/km) is decisive for the price. Structural factors such as the floor and lift as well as a parking restriction zone can add to the effort. We are also happy to help with furniture assembly and a shared load.
