A good company takes a lot of work off your hands – a bad one can turn the move into a nightmare. These criteria help you find the right partner.

Fixed price instead of hourly rate

Reputable companies offer a fixed price after a survey. You know from the start what the move costs, with no nasty surprises. With an hourly rate, there's a risk the work is prolonged.

Free survey

A good provider visits your flat before the move – in person or by video. That's the only way to assess the volume realistically and calculate a fair price.

Caution: Unusually cheap offers are often a warning sign. Quality has its price. Check the insurance and whether there's a permanent team.

Insurance and own team

Make sure your belongings are insured. Also ask whether the company works with its own permanent staff or subcontractors. A permanent, trained team ensures consistent quality.

Reviews and experience

Customer reviews and years of experience indicate reliability. At UmzugsExpress, over 2000 successful moves and a rating of 4.9 out of 5 speak for themselves.
