Moving home is one of the biggest organisational challenges in everyday life. Between notice periods, moving boxes and handing over the old flat, there's often little time to catch your breath. This is exactly where UmzugsExpress comes in: we take the entire move off your hands – professionally, predictably and at a fixed price you can count on.
Since 2008 we have been supporting private households throughout German-speaking Switzerland with their moves. In that time we have carried out over 2,000 moves – from a one-room flat in Zurich's District 4 to a detached family home in Aargau. You'll notice this experience in every detail: in the careful planning, the well-rehearsed team and the calm with which even unforeseen situations are handled.
What's included in a private move
Our goal is a move where you have to worry about as little as possible. That's why we offer all services from a single source – you put together your package individually:
- Free survey: We look at your flat on site or by video and prepare a precise, binding fixed price.
- Professional packing: On request, our team packs your entire household breakage-proof – dishes, books, clothes and delicate items included.
- Furniture dismantling and assembly: We professionally dismantle beds, wardrobes, shelves and kitchens and reassemble them at the destination.
- Safe transport: With modern, clean moving vehicles and the right equipment, we transport your belongings reliably.
- Furniture lift if needed: For higher floors or narrow stairwells we use an external lift – gentle and time-saving.
- Final cleaning with handover guarantee: On request we clean your old flat so the handover goes smoothly and you get your deposit back.
What does a private move cost in Switzerland?
The honest answer is: it depends. The price of a move depends on several factors that we go through together during the survey. The main influencing variables are:
- The size of your flat or the amount of goods to be moved
- The distance between the old and new address
- The floor and whether a lift is available
- The accessibility – such as parking options for the moving vehicle
- The desired additional services such as packing or cleaning
The following guide values serve as rough orientation. The binding fixed price is always determined only after the free survey:
| Flat size | Move within city | With packing service |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 rooms | from CHF 490 | from CHF 790 |
| 3 rooms | from CHF 900 | from CHF 1,400 |
| 4 rooms | from CHF 1,300 | from CHF 1,950 |
| 5+ rooms / house | from CHF 1,800 | from CHF 2,700 |
These prices are non-binding reference points including vehicle, team and basic equipment. Unlike hourly-rate offers, with our fixed price you know where you stand from the start – with no nasty surprises on the final invoice.

Why UmzugsExpress for your private move?
There are many moving companies in Switzerland – the differences lie in the detail. What sets us apart is the combination of many years of experience, fair pricing and genuine commitment to every single move. Thanks to our two locations in Spreitenbach (Aargau) and Winterthur (Zurich), we're quickly with you and know the regional particulars – from parking regulations in the city of Zurich to access routes in rural municipalities.
Our customers particularly appreciate that we plan reliably and keep our word. When we promise an appointment, we're there. When we quote a price, it applies. And if something doesn't go to plan, we find a solution – without lengthy discussions. This understanding of service quality has earned us over 2,000 satisfied moves and an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars.
