Obtaining a relocation quote online in Switzerland

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.

  1. Enter moving data, access and desired services once.
  2. Your request will be forwarded to the selected partner companies. Which companies send an offer depends on their availability and interest.
  3. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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

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.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a moving quote?
A moving quote is a written calculation from a moving company for your order: price, services, team, vehicle and conditions. You compare multiple moving quotes by sending the same request to different companies and placing the received quotes next to each other - not by comparing company profiles without a quote.
How does the comparison work on Online-Offerten.ch?
You record your move once in the form. Your request will be forwarded to the selected partner companies. Which companies then send a quote depends on their availability and interest - free of charge and non-binding, up to a maximum of 5 price suggestions. As soon as partner companies respond, you can compare the quotes received and select the right company.
Is the request really free?
Yes. For you as a private or business customer, the service is 100% free of charge and non-binding. There is no referral fee for you and no automatic booking. You decide for yourself whether and which offer you accept.
How much does moving in Switzerland approximately cost?
Only the written offer provides a binding price. Guidelines for number of rooms, distance and hourly rate belong on the page Moving costs in Switzerland. The aim here is to request a moving quote and compare the offers received.
Which is better: hourly rate or fixed price?
This is stated in the offer – not in a price table. Hourly rates are suitable for small, well-prepared moves with clear effort. From about 3 rooms or in case of difficult access, a fixed price after viewing offers more planning security. Always compare which services are included in the price.
How many quotes should I get?
We recommend at least three, ideally up to five, written quotes with the same information. This way you can identify outliers upwards and downwards and compare not only the final price, but also insurance, team and additional services.
What happens after my request?
Your request will be forwarded to the selected partner companies. Which companies then send a quote depends on their availability and interest. As soon as partner companies respond, you can compare the quotes received and choose yourself - without automatic booking.
How long does it take to receive quotes?
As soon as partner companies respond, you can compare the offers received. There is no fixed response time: which companies send an offer depends on their availability and interest. In cities such as Zurich, Bern or Basel, the selection is usually larger than in rural regions.
What should a good quote contain?
Total price with breakdown, services included, insurance, team and vehicle details, time slot as well as payment and cancellation conditions. You should clarify any unclear positions in writing before accepting.
Can I also inquire about international moves?
Yes. Many partner companies prepare cost estimates for moves to other European countries and beyond. Plan international transport earlier and pay attention to customs, transport duration and insurance coverage.
Are the moving companies insured?
Active partner companies provide proof of insurance. This is not a guarantee for the specific move: coverage, exclusions and liability must be comprehensible in every offer.
Can I request moving and cleaning together?
Yes. Many customers combine the move with move cleaning. You can coordinate transport and flat handover via the same platform - still free of charge and non-binding.
Are there online services that compare moving quotes from different providers?
Yes. That's exactly why comparison portals exist: you record your move once online and the portal forwards the request to selected moving companies. Which of these send a quote depends on availability and interest. Online-Offerten.ch works according to this principle and does not carry out any moves itself - this means the brokerage remains neutral. There are no costs for you and no obligation to accept.
How do I quickly get several moving quotes in Zurich?
The quickest way is to make a single online request instead of individual phone calls: specify the number of rooms, floors, elevator, addresses and desired date once. Your request will be forwarded to selected partner companies in the region; which sends a quote depends on their availability and interest. It is important to give all companies the same information - otherwise you will be comparing different assumptions instead of real price differences.
How much does it cost to request a moving quote online?
Nothing. The quote request is free and non-binding for private and business customers. You only pay the moving company that you ultimately choose yourself - and only at the price that is stated in their written quote.
