Do you have to move quickly? Find a moving company that carries out emergency moves. Sometimes arranged within 24 to 48 hours.
An emergency move is a move that must take place at short notice, usually within 24 to 72 hours. Relationship problems or divorce are a common cause. Another scenario is an acute problem with the home, such as water damage, fire or a declaration that it is uninhabitable.
Urgent business relocations also occur: a lease that ends unexpectedly or a business premises that is demolished.
In all these cases, the sooner you contact a moving company, the more likely they are to be available. Call directly instead of email.
Urgent move - quick move arranged (per move)
Most professional moving companies can organize an emergency move within 24 to 48 hours, provided capacity is available. This is easier outside the high season than in the summer months.
Some moving companies specialize in urgent moves and keep capacity available every day. These companies are slightly more expensive, but guarantee short-term availability.
In the case of an emergency move, the intake is faster. Instead of an extensive quotation procedure, you provide a description by telephone and an estimate is made.
An emergency move costs more than a planned move. Moving companies charge an emergency surcharge of 20 to 50 percent on top of the normal price.
The basic rates are the same as for a regular move. With an emergency surcharge you can quickly reach 800 to 1,400 euros for an apartment. In high season this can amount to 1,800 euros or more.
Despite the higher price, the costs are justifiable if circumstances make the move necessary. Even in emergencies, request two or three quotes by telephone.
