Moving company Den Helder - choosing local saves on call-out costs

Professional movers in Den Helder and all types of removals

The work starts with loading and ends with dropping off at your new address. The services included differ per company, so ask what exactly is included in the price when requesting a quote. Moving companies in Den Helder offer their work for both private individuals and companies.

• Private move: your entire household contents from the old home to the new location.
• Business relocation: office or business premises, and for some companies international relocations.
• Furniture transport: loose items such as a piano or safe, for which additional equipment is required.
• Assembly and disassembly: cabinets and beds are dismantled and reassembled at the new address.
• Packing and unpacking service: a moving service that supplies moving boxes and packs your vulnerable items.
• Temporary storage: extra services that are requested more often in Den Helder than elsewhere.

Most moving companies work for the entire Noordkop: Den Helder, Julianadorp, Anna Paulowna, Schagen and Texel. Ask which work area a company specifies, because that determines whether you pay call-out fees. Also ask about the volume of your belongings in cubic meters and whether that fits in one trip.

Save on call-out costs with a moving company from Noordkop

Den Helder is approximately 85 kilometers from Amsterdam by road. A mover from the Randstad has already been on the road for two to three hours before he touches the first box, and those hours are simply included on your invoice. Count on 75 to 250 euros extra, depending on the company.

With a rate based on hours, the difference increases further, because the return journey also counts for many companies. Moving companies located in Den Helder drive ten minutes and start immediately. If the job runs late or there is damage, a company from the Noordkop will return the same week.

How much does a moving company cost in Den Helder?

The price of a moving company depends on the number of cubic meters, the floors, the distance to the car and the services you require. Helderse rates are among the lowest in North Holland and are approximately 20 percent below the Amsterdam level. A cheap moving service in Den Helder can therefore mainly be found locally.

A studio here is between 275 and 475 euros, a three-room house between 550 and 950 euros. A single-family home in De Schooten or Julianadorp costs 800 to 1,900 euros. As long as no one has viewed your home, these remain guideline amounts, because only a recording confirms the price for your move.

What drives moving costs

• The location of the company. Outside the Noordkop you pay 75 to 250 euros in call-out costs.
• A porch or gallery flat without a lift. Each floor above the first counts towards the hours.
• Temporary storage between two dates. Count on 55 to 150 euros per month.
• The distance when moving to the Randstad or further, where kilometers are quoted separately.
• Moving Saturday. Those who can come Monday to Friday will be left with 15 to 25 percent of the bill.

Moving in Den Helder with the navy: storage and long distances

Den Helder is home to the Royal Navy. De Nieuwe Haven is the largest naval port in the Netherlands and the navy employs thousands of people there. A large proportion of the city's moves stem from this, with placements changing from one month to the next.

These moves have their own profile: large distances, a shifting date and sometimes a period in which your belongings cannot go anywhere. Therefore, ask about storage in the same quotation, including loading and unloading at the storage location, and record in writing what relocation costs.

Parking for the moving van in Den Helder

Parking is free in most of Den Helder, which makes moving easy compared to the Randstad. The city has five blue zones: the center, the Van Galenbuurt southeast, the Sluisdijkbuurt, Het Nieuwe Diep and the Weststraat with the Keizersgracht.

You can park in these zones from Monday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM for a maximum of three hours with a parking disc. If your move takes longer, you will need an exemption. An annual exemption for residents costs 46.10 euros, applies per license plate and there is a maximum of two per address.

If you live in a blue zone, arrange in advance how the car can be parked there all day. The parking service is provided by an external party, so ask your moving company to arrange that contact. You can park for free outside the zones.

A move in Den Helder: the housing stock per district

Den Helder was hit hard during the war and was subsequently rebuilt at a rapid pace, partly to house naval personnel. As a result, the housing stock largely consists of post-war construction: standard sizes, predictable stairs and usually enough space for the car.

• Nieuw Den Helder: post-war district with many porch and gallery flats, partly renovated between 2002 and 2010.
• City within the Line: the older part around the center, with narrower streets and the blue zone.
• De Schooten: spacious 1960s and 1970s single-family homes with parking space in front of the door.
• Julianadorp: greatly expanded from the 1970s, predominantly ground-level homes with a driveway.
• Huisduinen: small village on the edge of the dunes with narrow access roads and limited turning space.

If you live in a gallery flat, ask the landlord or the owners' association whether the elevator can be used and whether you need to cover it. If the lift does not work or your heavy furniture does not fit, a moving lift will be added for 135 to 325 euros per day.

This is how you choose the right moving company in Den Helder

If you are looking for a moving company in the area, have three companies do the calculations and compare their proposals. Look at the manpower, the planned hours, the mileage allowance and the approach to the move. If one goes far below, the post for driving time is almost always missing.

Questions about moving companies that you ask in advance

• Where are the vehicles stored and are the call-out costs included in the price?
• Up to what amount does the transport insurance cover and does that cover remain valid during the move?
• What happens if moving day runs late or your date moves up a week?
• Read reviews from previous customers and pay attention to the handling of a damage claim.
• Is the company affiliated with a trade organization and does it work with a permanent team?
