Which moving company offers which service?

Not every company covers every type of move. A relocation service ranges from changing flats to special transport. Choose the service that suits your project – then you will receive offers from providers who bring equipment and experience.

Private moveFlat, house or shared room – the standard case for households in Switzerland.Business moveOffice, shop or workshop with IT planning and operational outages that are as short as possible.International moveCross-border relocations with customs, documents and a long deadline chain.Piano transportPiano, grand pianos and heavy individual pieces with special equipment and experienced team.Small transportIndividual furniture or small loads that do not require a complete removal truck.StorageTemporary storage if the pull-out and pull-in do not overlap in time.

Additional services around the relocation

On request, most moving companies take care of more than just transport. You can specify these additional services in the same request and receive suitable offers for them:

Moving helpersCarrying aid by the hour – or the entire relocation team.Furniture liftLarge furniture over balcony or window – without narrow stairwell.Packing serviceProfessionals pack kitchen, glass and electronics – in whole or in part.Furniture assemblyDismantle and assemble cupboards, beds and large pieces of furniture professionally.Senior moveAssisted move including decluttering, packing, setting up and clearing out.

What a moving company costs – in brief

The price is based on the volume, distance, access, date and scope of the additional services. A relocation within the same city is significantly less than a relocation across several cantons, and a missing lift noticeably extends the operating time. Guide prices by number of rooms, all cost factors and a calculator can be found on Calculate relocation costs in Switzerland.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about choosing a moving company

Answers on the selection, examination and reservation of moving companies in Switzerland.

How do I find a suitable moving company in Switzerland?

▼

Describe your move once in the form. You will then receive up to 5 quotes from verified moving companies that are available for your region and can compare performance, insurance and price directly. In German-speaking Switzerland, the same providers are often called moving companies - the same comparison is meant.

How do I recognize a reputable moving company?

▼

At four points: a written, itemized quote, understandable transport and business liability insurance, a clear price basis with provisions for additional time and several current reviews. Dumping prices, cash-only payments and pressure to sign immediately are warning signs.

Should I choose a regional or national moving company?

▼

Regional companies know access, parking rules and building access on site, which reduces additional demands. When moving across several cantons or abroad, providers with appropriate fleet and customs experience have an advantage. You can see both side by side via the comparison.

How early should I book a moving company?

▼

Four to eight weeks before the move. Around the end of the month and in the summer months, good teams are fully booked much earlier - those who are flexible have more choice when it comes to dates and teams.

Is the request via Online-Offerten.ch free?

▼

Yes, the request is free and non-binding. You do not pay a brokerage fee and decide for yourself whether and which quote you accept.

Does a moving company need a visit before the offer?

▼

For small flats with easy access, the information provided in the form is sufficient. From medium flats, in case of difficult access or in case of valuable individual pieces, an on-site or video visit makes sense so that the offer becomes binding.

Does a moving company also take care of the clearance and move-out cleaning?

▼

Many providers combine transport with clearance, disposal and move-out cleaning. Because in Switzerland the return of the rental deposit depends on the handover of the flat, it is worth making a combined request - details can be found on our moving and cleaning page.
