Find clear answers about quotations, pricing, packing, access, timing, insurance and preparing for your moving day.

Quotes and pricing

Information about estimates, pricing and what can affect the final cost.

How is the price of my move calculated?

The price depends on several factors, including the distance between locations, the number of rooms, the amount of furniture, the number of workers required, access conditions, floors, elevators, packing services and any heavy or special items.

Is the online estimate the final price?

The online calculator provides an initial estimate based on the information you enter. Movento may confirm or adjust the final price after reviewing the complete details of the move, especially when there are difficult access conditions, heavy objects or additional services.

Are there any hidden charges?

No. Any expected additional costs should be explained before the move is confirmed. It is important to provide accurate information about stairs, elevators, parking, walking distance, heavy items and the quantity of belongings so that the quote is as accurate as possible.

Can I request a custom quote for an unusual move?

Yes. For large homes, multiple pickup locations, special furniture, business relocations or moves that do not fit the standard calculator, you can provide additional details and request a personalised quotation.

Booking and timing

What to expect when arranging your moving date and preparing your schedule.

How early should I book my move?

Booking as early as possible is recommended, especially for weekends, public holidays and the end of the month. For a normal home move, one to three weeks of notice is helpful, although shorter-notice requests may still be possible depending on availability.

How long will my move take?

The duration depends on the number of belongings, travel distance, building access, parking, floors, elevators and the number of workers. A small local move may take only a few hours, while a larger move may require a full day or longer.

Can I change my moving date after booking?

Yes, subject to availability. Contact Movento as soon as possible when you need to change the date or time. Giving early notice makes it easier to find another suitable appointment.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Contact Movento as soon as possible if you need to cancel. The applicable cancellation conditions may depend on how close the cancellation is to the booked moving date and whether workers, vehicles or additional services have already been reserved.

Packing and preparation

Guidance for preparing your belongings before the moving team arrives.

Do you provide packing services?

Yes. Packing assistance can be included depending on the requirements of the move. This may include packing household items, protecting furniture and preparing fragile belongings for transport.

Can Movento provide boxes and packing materials?

Packing materials may be provided or included as an additional service. Mention the number of boxes and the type of belongings you need to pack when requesting your quotation.

Do I need to empty drawers and wardrobes?

Small and light items should normally be removed and packed separately. Heavy, fragile or valuable items should not remain inside furniture during transport. Movento can advise you based on the type of furniture involved.

How should I prepare fragile items?

Wrap fragile items individually using protective paper, bubble wrap or suitable packing material. Place them in strong boxes, fill empty spaces and clearly label the boxes as fragile. Valuable or highly personal items should be transported separately whenever possible.

Access and moving day

Important details about parking, elevators, stairs and building access.

What access information should I provide?

Tell Movento about the floor number, elevator availability, staircase width, entrance size, parking restrictions and the distance between the vehicle and the property. These details help determine the correct number of workers, equipment and time required.

What if there is no elevator?

Movento can still carry out moves in buildings without elevators. However, stairs and higher floors may increase the time, physical work and cost. The correct floor information should be included in your request.

Who is responsible for arranging parking?

The customer should provide accurate parking information and, where required, arrange permission or space for the moving vehicle. Movento can discuss the access requirements with you before the moving date.

Can you move large or heavy items?

Yes, depending on the item, property access and equipment required. Pianos, safes, large wardrobes, appliances and other heavy objects must be declared before the move so that Movento can assess the job safely.

Transport and protection

How belongings are handled, protected and transported.

How is my furniture protected during transport?

Furniture can be protected using blankets, wrapping material, straps and other suitable equipment. The exact protection depends on the furniture type, transport distance and services included in the quotation.

Are my belongings insured?

Insurance and liability conditions should be confirmed as part of the final booking. Movento will provide the applicable information before the service is confirmed. Customers should declare particularly valuable, fragile or unusual items in advance.

Can you transport appliances?

Yes. Appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines and ovens can be transported when they are properly disconnected and prepared. Customers should follow the manufacturer's preparation instructions before the moving team arrives.

Do you offer temporary storage?

Storage availability may depend on the location, duration and amount of space required. Include the required storage period and the approximate quantity of belongings when contacting Movento.
