A local move doesn't have to be complicated: with Praktik Transport und Umzüge you can move within Berlin and to the surrounding area quickly, carefully and at a fixed price after a survey. Our team packs, carries and transports your belongings – even at short notice, when dates are available. Whether it's a studio or a family flat, we organise your home move reliably and without hidden costs.
What is a local move?
A local move is a move within a city or over short distances into the nearby area – a limit of around 50 kilometres is common, but it is not set by law. In Berlin this often means narrow streets, parking restriction zones (Halteverbotszonen) and tightly scheduled appointments. We prepare for this with movers, a suitable vehicle and a clear schedule for your local move.
Local moves in Berlin and the surrounding area
We set off from our company headquarters at Stromstraße 21 in Moabit. From there it is around 3 km by road to Wedding, 5 km to Charlottenburg, 6 km to Prenzlauer Berg, 10 km to Neukölln and 12 km to Spandau; into the surrounding area, about 20 km to Falkensee and 35 km to Potsdam. You can find all destinations under Moving destinations.

With us you pay a clear fixed price with no nasty surprises. As a guide for a typical private move:
- 1-room flat from €350
- 2-room flat from €590
- 3-room flat from €890
- 4-room flat from €1,290
If your move goes beyond the region, we calculate long-distance moves from €4/km. For an individual free quote, a few details about your flat are enough.
Additional services for your local move
Besides the transport itself, we are happy to help you with other tasks around moving day: professional packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture or setting up a parking restriction zone. If you don't want to dismantle and reassemble your furniture yourself, you will find the right support with our move with assembly. This turns your local move into an all-round, worry-free package.

Local move in Berlin – fast, affordable and flexible
A local move within Berlin or into the nearby surrounding area is usually done in a single day. Short distances mean less driving time and therefore a low price. To make sure everything runs smoothly on moving day, we can apply for a parking restriction zone in front of both addresses on request – so there are no long carrying distances and no hunting for a parking space.
Whether it's a 1-room flat or a family household: we factor in old-building stairwells, back courtyards and one-way streets from the start. Short-notice local moves are often possible within a few days – but then usually without an official parking restriction zone, because processing one takes around four weeks in Berlin.
Frequently asked questions about local moves
From what distance does a move count as local? There is no fixed limit; distances of up to around 50 kilometres are common.
How short-notice can a local move be? Often within a few days. A parking restriction zone, however, needs around four weeks' notice at the district office (Bezirksamt).
Do I need a parking restriction zone? In densely built-up Berlin neighbourhoods (Kieze) we strongly recommend one; we apply for it on your behalf.
