At Moving, we want to give you a helping hand with your move. Below, you will find all the information you need, from the price of a moving company to useful moving services such as furniture storage and moving lifts. We believe that your move will be a lot more relaxing if you know exactly what to expect.
Why hire a moving company?
Of course you can pack the boxes yourself, disassemble cabinet and load all the furniture into a van, but there are risks involved. You might damage fragile items while lifting them, or your back suddenly goes into a painful cramp. With a moving company, you save yourself that stress. As a moving company, we specialize in removals and arrange everything from A to Z. You will receive help from professional movers who know exactly how to handle your move properly.
A moving service is always nice
In addition, experienced movers ensure that your moving day runs smoothly. We have extensive experience with furniture of all shapes and sizes. This way, you can be sure that your valuable antique table will not be damaged on the stairs. We organize moving materials, arrange the moving van and provide a customized quote, so that you get insight into the costs. This way, you can move cheaply, because you only pay for the help you need.
Moving with professional movers
Example: Suppose you have the key to your new home or business premises, but there is still a week between the key transfer and your moving day. In that case, you can also arrange storage space or furniture storage with many moving companies. That way, you are not tied to anything. Handy, right? Moving companies are happy to help you move your belongings and at Moving we know how nice it is if you know a thing or two in advance about possible moving costs.
Fast and systematic relocations
The moving company will help you with the planning
Moving often comes down to thinking ahead. Make a list of everything you need to arrange. You don't want to find out that you've run out of moving boxes while the movers are on your doorstep. Discuss with us how many extra movers you can hire, how many pieces of furniture you have and whether a moving elevator (or ladder lift) is needed. Also make sure that you can reserve a moving van well in advance. Sometimes a 20 m³ moving van is enough, but for larger moves you may need a 50 m³ moving van.
Case study: a smooth move in one day
| Situation | Old apartment on the 3rd floor |
|---|---|
| New house | Single-family home in another city |
| Moving help | 3 professional movers + 1 extra mover |
| Moving material | Moving boxes, ladder lift, temporary furniture storage |
| Result | A smooth move in one day, thanks to good planning |
In this case study, you will see how a narrow staircase and two narrow doors are no problem if you approach the move smartly. We provided enough movers and a sturdy ladder lift. The Moving team helped to move all the furniture, including fragile heirlooms, in the right direction. Everything went smoothly that day and the owner was able to enjoy his new home right away.
Compare and find the cheapest moving company
You may be wondering how to find the cheapest moving company. Everyone wants a reliable company that handles all furniture with care. It is worth checking whether the moving company is a member of the Belgian Chamber of Movers (BKV). This way you are assured of good quality, because the prices of a moving company can sometimes vary considerably. The moving company differs per region, and the cost of a moving company also differs per situation.
Hiring movers with the help of Moving
We are happy to help you when you are moving. You can request a quote from us without obligation and possibly from other moving companies. This way you can compare rates to find the best offer. It often saves on costs if you hire movers smart planning, for example outside peak hours or in a quieter period. So look especially at reviews, service and price when looking for a moving company.
Save on your move!
Tip: Some employers offer a relocation allowance if you have to relocate for work. Ask about this, because it can budget significantly expand. We are happy to work with you to arrange this move, whether you stay in Belgium or move abroad.
The price structure of your move
You may be wondering what the average cost of hiring a moving company is. There are several factors:
Number of movers needed
More movers means faster work, but also higher labor costs. You often pay an average of €35 to 40 euros per hour per mover. The movers of the moving company know exactly how to work and will therefore not just work overtime. In this way, they ensure that the move can be carried out faster.
Hire an additional mover
That will save you a lot of lifting. Make sure that the price matches what you really need. Cheap removals are no longer impossible with Moving. Use our removal service now and request free and completely non-binding quotes.
Moving lifts and moving equipment
A ladder lift or other moving services cost extra. However, if you live on the fourth floor, you can use that lift to get fragile items safely downstairs. A quick move with low costs is very nice, right?
Rent a moving van
You can take a 20 m³ moving van or a 50 m³ moving van. Bigger vans are more expensive, but sometimes save time, because you make fewer trips.
Distance
A longer distance means higher transportation costs. That's why it's smart to choose a moving company that is close to where you live.
Example of rates in a table
| Element | Price indication |
|---|---|
| Basic rate (1 mover) | €35 – €45 per hour |
| Extra mover | €35 – €40 per hour |
| 20 m³ moving van | €70 – €100 per day |
| 50 m³ moving van | €100 – €150 per day |
| Moving lift (ladder lift) | Average between €70 – €120 per day |
| Storage space or furniture storage | €10 – €20 per m³ per month |
Please note that this is only a rough estimate. Moving is always custom work and the prices of a moving company vary due to seasonal influences and busyness. It is therefore wise to request a custom quote.

Additional tips and considerations
Moving materials and moving boxes
A moving company offers various moving services. Think of a packing and unpacking service. Do you want to help yourself? Then you can start packing yourself in advance. Use sturdy moving boxes and label them per room. That way you can quickly continue working when you arrive at your new home.
Extensive experience with installation service
Not everyone enjoys assembling furniture. Some movers will do this for you, so all you have to do is decide where the cabinet should go.
Furniture storage and other moving services
If you temporarily have no space, you can use furniture storage or storage space. This offers flexibility if the moving date and the delivery of your new home do not perfectly match.
Move with compensation
Ask your employer if you can receive a relocation allowance. It often saves money when you move to another region for work.
Is the price of a moving company worth it?
Your move doesn’t have to be a mess or a stress. Considering hiring extra movers can save you time and backache. At Moving, we believe that moving should be affordable for everyone, and with the right rates and moving services, that’s possible.
