The price of a move in Switzerland varies greatly depending on volume, distance and the services you want. Here is a realistic overview of the cost factors and your options for saving.
The main cost factors
The price depends primarily on the volume to be transported, the distance between the old and new flat, the floor and whether there is a lift, as well as additional services such as packing, furniture assembly or final cleaning.
Indicative prices by flat size
As a rough guide: moving a studio or 2-room flat starts in a moderate price range, while a 4.5-room flat costs considerably more. The exact price always results from an on-site or video survey.
Fixed price instead of hourly rate
A reputable company offers a fixed price after assessing the volume. You know from the outset what your move will cost. With an hourly rate, there is a risk that the work is deliberately prolonged.
How to save
Sort before moving – less volume means lower costs. Pack yourself to save the packing service. Choose a weekday date outside peak season. And combine moving and cleaning with the same provider, which is often more economical.
