Get a relocation quote and compare quotes
With a moving quote, a company calculates your move in writing: scope, pricing and conditions - based on your information. Get moving quotes can be done online in just a few minutes and without a telephone call: you describe the move once. Your request will be forwarded to the selected partner companies. Which companies then send an offer depends on their availability and interest. As soon as partner companies respond, you can compare the offers received - a maximum of 5. Free applies to the inquiry and comparison of the offers - not to the move itself. This page shows which information makes a moving offer binding and how you can recognize a complete offer.

What is a moving quote?
A moving quote is not a list price or a company rating. It is the quote that a moving company creates in response to your request: what is transported, how it is billed and what conditions apply to exactly this move.
Moving quotes (plural) are several such quotes for the same order. Online-Offerten.ch is the portal for inquiries: you send the data once, selected partner companies receive it, individual companies decide whether to send a quote. You compare the quotes received and make your own choice. The company you commissioned will carry out the move - not the platform. Detailed guide prices can be found on Moving costs in Switzerland; Criteria for choosing a company can be found under Compare moving companies.
Request moving quotes in 3 steps
On Online-Offerten.ch you do not compare anonymous list prices, but rather concrete offers for your move. One request is enough - selected partner companies receive it and you compare the offers that actually arrive.
- Enter moving data, access and desired services once.
- Your request will be forwarded to the selected partner companies. Which companies send an offer depends on their availability and interest.
- As soon as partner companies respond, compare prices, insurance and scope of services - and coordinate directly with the chosen company.
What details a reliable moving quote needs
The quality of an offer depends almost entirely on the information you provide. The more precisely you describe the size of the flat, floor, elevator, access, moving date and desired additional services, the more binding the companies will be in their calculations - and the less likely they will be to make an additional request on the day of the move.
- Object: Number of rooms, area, floor and elevator at old and new address.
- Access: Access for trucks, no parking, distance from front door to vehicle.
- Volume: Amount of furniture, basement, attic, garage as well as heavy individual items.
- Date: Desired date and flexibility - end of month and Saturdays are more expensive.
- Additional services: Packing service, furniture assembly, furniture lift, storage, move-out cleaning.
You only need a price range afterwards to classify the offers received. Guide prices based on number of rooms and distance, the cost factors in detail and a calculator can be found on the page Calculate moving costs in Switzerland. This page sticks to the process: inquire, read offers, compare.
Hourly rate or fixed price – this is how you read the quote correctly
Many misunderstandings arise not with the move itself, but with the pricing model. That's why we first check with every comparison: Is the billing based on time or a flat rate - and what exactly is included?
Hourly rates depend on team size, vehicle, access and scope of services. Current guidelines can be found under Moving costs in Switzerland. For the specific move, the written quote counts - not the orientation range.
Stundensatz
Useful for small moves when boxes are fully packed and access is easy. Risk: Delays (elevator, parking lot, straggler boxes) increase the final total.
Fixpreis
Recommended from medium flats or in case of unclear access conditions. After viewing, you pay the agreed amount – provided that the scope and conditions do not change.

What a written moving quote should contain
A low final price alone says little. In a structured comparison, the positions that later avoid additional demands or disputes count.
- Total price with a clear breakdown (personnel, vehicle, material, surcharges)
- Services: transport, assembly/disassembly, packing service, disposal, cleaning
- Insurance and liability limits recorded in writing
- Team size, time window and vehicle type
- Payment modalities, deposit and cancellation conditions
- Information on floor, elevator and any furniture lift

Compare several moving quotes fairly
As soon as the offers are available, compare at the offer level – not the company profile. These five points make the comparison resilient:
- 1
Same order in every quote
The number of rooms, floor, lift, distance and additional services must be the same in all offers. Otherwise you will be comparing different orders, not different prices.
- 2
Pricing model clearly stated
Is there a fixed price, an hourly rate or a cost ceiling? Without this information, the quote cannot be classified - and additional demands are more difficult to recognize.
- 3
Scope of services before the final price
Packing service, assembly, furniture lift, material and directions belong to the breakdown. Only when the scope is the same does the final price say something.
- 4
Insurance in the quote itself
The coverage and exclusions must be included in the quote in writing. The proof of insurance provided by the partner company does not replace this information in the quote.
- 5
Clarify unclear positions before making the commitment
Have the waiting time, floor surcharge, stop ban or Saturday surcharge confirmed in writing. Open points otherwise make an interim score out of a comparison.
Warning signals in the offer
Only cash payment, no written contract, missing insurance information or a price far below all other quotes - in these cases inquire about positions or choose a different quote. How you can classify the company behind the quote can be found under Compare moving companies.
Which type of move you should request
Not every offer is comparable to every other one. Clearly describe the type of move – so you get suitable instead of generic offers.
Private move
Flat or house: volume, floor and packing costs determine the price. For most households, this is the standard route via our quotation comparison.
Business move / office move
This includes downtime, IT and employee coordination. SMEs often plan 2–3 months in advance, larger companies much longer. Despite the surcharge, weekly referendums may be cheaper than a workday stoppage.
Long-distance and international moves
For longer distances within Switzerland or for international trains, vehicle planning, insurance and the appointment chain change. For international moves, inquire early and clarify customs/documentation issues with the company.

Make quotes comparable
For a comparison to be meaningful, all quotes must cover the same service. These three steps are enough:
1. Give all companies the same details
Identically describe the number of rooms, floor, lift, distance and additional services. This is the only way to show real price differences – not different assumptions.
2. Align the scope first, then calculate
An offer with a packing service is not more expensive, but different. Delete or supplement positions until all offers cover the same scope.
3. Clarify unclear positions before making the commitment
Have the travel flat rate, material costs, waiting time and floor surcharge confirmed in writing – otherwise you will be comparing intermediate results instead of final prices.
You can find concrete measures that you can use to reduce costs yourself - deadlines, personal contributions, volume and additional services - under move cheaply in Switzerland.
What happens after the request
The process on the platform is short and stays with the quote - not the entire moving year.
1. Request
You enter the object, access, appointment and desired services once in the form.
2. Selected partner companies receive the request
Your request will be forwarded to the selected partner companies. Which companies then send a quote depends on their availability and interest.
3. Compare quotes received
As soon as partner companies respond, you can compare the offers received. Up to 5 quotes at most – no guarantee that any requested company will respond.
4. Compare and choose for yourself
You put price, performance and conditions next to each other and commission the company directly. There is no automatic booking.
The schedule up to moving day – packing, no stopping, handover of the flat – can be found under Moving Checklists.

Moving and cleaning from a request logic
In Switzerland, professional move-out cleaning often decides whether the rental deposit is returned. That's why many households inquire about moving and cleaning at the same time - via the same platform, with separate, comparable offers. More about this on the page Moving and cleaning offers.
- A contact route for transport and flat handover
- Cleaning offers with a handover guarantee can be checked separately
- Less coordination effort on moving day

Get a moving quote for your city
A quote will be more precise if the company knows the local conditions: No parking and access in the city of Zurich work differently than in Bern, Basel or Aargau. That's why it's worth starting the inquiry regionally - the providers then calculate realistic travel and carrying distance assumptions instead of flat rates.

A reliable moving quote comes from clear information and a written quote - not from estimates over the phone. Several moving quotes with the same scope make the pricing, services and conditions visible. You can read about fixed prices and hourly rates in the quote; Detailed guide prices belong on the costs page. Those who inquire early and standardize information compare complete quotes instead of incomplete interim results.
