Emergency moving: a special moving service
An emergency move requires a different approach than a regular move. You have less time to plan and are often already in talks with moving companies before you say goodbye to your old home. When you have to move urgently, it is important that you decide immediately which items you are taking with you and how you are going to pack them. You preferably choose a moving company that has extensive experience with emergency moves. We at Moving know exactly how a company can act quickly so that everything is in the moving van on time.
Moving your belongings can be arranged quickly
You will have to deal with surcharges for emergencies, but these costs often do not outweigh the peace of mind you get in return. The idea that you will soon be in your new home without any worries feels like a relief. We have already helped many people who had to move their belongings within a week. They were amazed at how smoothly it went.
A quick move in 1 day
Is it feasible for professional movers?
Absolutely. Many people think that moving quickly in one day is impossible, but you can easily organize it with the right movers. Removal companies have special methods to dismantle, pack and load your belongings into the moving van in record time. You only need to prepare your belongings in advance in moving boxes, preferably well labelled. They also have enough moving boxes and materials to carry out your emergency move properly. This applies to all types of removals.
One-Day Action Checklist
- Start early so you can start making progress straight away.
- Labeling with colors: Attach a label to each box for clarity when unloading.
- Use a moving elevator if your furniture is big or if you live in an apartment. An elevator saves hours of lugging and a lot of muscle pain.
- Gathering moving materials: moving blankets, hand trucks, packing materials and tension straps to prevent damage.
- Scheduling rest periods: Drink enough and take a break every now and then. Without breaks you will get stressed faster.
Successful moving – the basic steps
Step 1 – Preparation and moving quickly
Step one is planning. Make an overview of everything you need to arrange. Think of your important documents, such as a lease or deed of sale, and put them aside. Then you won't have to search when the mover rings the doorbell. With a clear checklist, everything will go smoothly during the move.
Also clear out things you no longer use. That old exercise bike or broken cupboard? Take them to the thrift store or give them to friends. They only take up space during the move and increase your moving costs. A moving company has experience with emergency moves and understands exactly what you need as a tenant. They will pack the boxes well to move the items neatly.
Step 2 – carrying out an emergency move

Step 3 – Aftercare after a move
After the emergency move, check that your valuables are undamaged. Also check that you have received all the boxes. Sometimes someone forgets a box at the old house or in the hallway. Let your new neighbors know that you have just moved. A friendly greeting does wonders for the atmosphere in your new neighborhood. This can be especially nice for people in the last phases of their lives.

Private individual moving urgently
As a private individual, you sometimes feel a lot of time pressure when you have to move urgently. Maybe you have a tight deadline or extra costs for a late delivery. We understand that feeling. That is why we act quickly and ensure that you are not faced with any surprises.
Moving costs
Sometimes you pay a moving fee if you cancel your lease yourself, but check whether you are entitled to a contribution from the landlord. This may save you on moving costs. You can also choose to involve friends or family, although you realize that this does not always take away the stress. A professional moving company can save you a lot of worries, especially if you want to act quickly.
Urgent business relocation
Corporate relocations are often more complicated. You need to transfer IT equipment safely and inform employees about the new location. We know that your business cannot be idle for long. Our team ensures a smooth relocation and takes your employees into account.
Move efficiently
Some offices need to be in the weekend moving because work continues during the week. In that case, Moving will deploy extra moving assistance and vans so that everything is done within one day. This approach costs less production time and reduces stress and worries for your team.
International moving urgently
An international emergency move requires even better planning. You have to deal with national borders and extra paperwork. As a moving company with experience in emergency moves and foreign jobs, we ensure that you get through customs quickly. We also know which documents you need, because every country has its own rules.
Good preparation is half the job
Make sure your passport and visa are in order. Put fragile items in sturdy moving boxes with extra protection. You don't want to damage unique souvenirs or valuable household items. We will arrange the transport, whether by truck or ship, and you can breathe easy.
Moving with storage
Sometimes you can't move into your new home right away, for example because the delivery is delayed. Then moving with storage is a good option. Moving stores your belongings in a secure warehouse. This way you can be sure that your belongings will remain safe until you have the key to your new home.
Storing household effects
Especially with sudden moves you see that people use this option. Their old contract expires, but the new home is not yet available. Temporary storage prevents a lot of hassle. You do not have to store your things in the living room of friends. Moreover, they are well protected because we work with sturdy boxes and guarded storage spaces.
