A moving company in Hilversum works with larger items than average: villas with long driveways, pre-war homes around the center and many pianos, art and antiques. Via Moving.nl you can compare movers who know Hilversum and Het Gooi without obligation and read their reviews.
In het kort
A moving company in Hilversum will collect your belongings and put your furniture back in place in the new home. Private and business work are mixed here: in addition to homes, companies are also moving studios and offices around the Media Park. Such a company move requires evening work and equipment that is put into the car with care.
A complete move involves more than transport. Moving materials such as boxes, blankets and edge protectors, dismantling custom cabinets, storage and house clearance are included as additional services in the quote. International moves and corporate relocations also require their own paperwork. Ask which items are included in the amount.
The villa parks Trompenberg, Boomberg, Nimrodpark and Ministerpark date from the period 1875 to 1904 and have many monuments. Moving from such a house rarely involves 30 cubic meters. Long driveways with gravel or pavers are the practical problem, because a heavy vehicle sinks and damages the paving.
Many movers therefore leave the car on the street and commute with a smaller bus. Ask if the shuttle ride is included in the quote, because it costs an extra one to two hours. Overhanging branches in the green avenues also limit the clearance of moving vans.
In the neighborhoods around Bosdrift there are houses from the twenties and thirties, with stairs that are narrower than in new construction. A box spring or large cupboard cannot get through, so count on renting a moving lift or dismantling on site. For monumental buildings, determine in advance who is liable for damage to stained glass and stair railings.
Your moving costs depend on the volume in cubic meters, the number of floors, the accessibility of both addresses and the services you purchase. Hilversum rates are close to Amsterdam levels, because movers drive from the Randstad and the average household contents are larger.
Count on 350 to 600 euros for a studio and 720 to 1,250 euros for a three-room house. A single-family home in Kerkelanden costs 1,000 to 2,400 euros. For a villa, quotes range from 1,800 to 4,000 euros, and higher with safes, art or a grand piano.
According to the Consumers' Association, four quotes for the same move save an average of 400 euros. For large household goods, the difference is in the number of hours quoted, not in the hourly rate. The cheapest moving company often simply charges too few hours.
You do not need a parking permit in Hilversum to load and unload a moving van. Vehicles longer than six meters or higher than 2.4 meters may only be parked in designated areas within built-up areas, such as the unloading walls and the Nieuwe Havenweg, and for a maximum of three days in a row.
If the car needs to be parked elsewhere for longer, you can apply for a parking exemption. It costs 47.45 euros for one to seven days and 90.60 euros for a period of up to one month. A separate exemption applies to the core shopping area that you must arrange at least seven days in advance.
Hilversum has an above-average number of pianos and grand pianos, partly due to the city's music and broadcasting history. A piano weighs 200 to 350 kilos and a grand piano weighs more than that, so carrying it with four people is not a solution. Ask a mover with years of experience in piano transport, or outsource that part separately.
The same goes for art, antique clocks and wine cabinets. Record in writing which documents receive special treatment and up to what amount they are insured.
Always have someone physically visit you with large items of furniture. A video calling appointment is sufficient for an apartment, but not for a villa with an outbuilding. Compare different moving companies, because the hour estimates vary widely.
Gooise movers get booked up fastest in July and August and on the days when rental contracts expire. Therefore, set your moving date 5 to 8 weeks in advance. Moving.nl submits your request to movers in Hilversum and the surrounding area, from Bussum to Laren, and you will often receive a tailor-made quote without obligation within 24 hours.

Prices for moving companies in Hilversum (average)
Moving prices in Hilversum are close to Amsterdam levels, because movers drive from the Randstad and the average household contents are larger than elsewhere. Villas and detached houses are pulling up the top end of the market. The prices below are indicative amounts for a move within Hilversum or Het Gooi.
| Service | From | To | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1-room apartment | €350 | €600 | per move |
| 2-room apartment | €500 | €900 | per move |
| 3-room house | €720 | €1250 | per move |
| Single-family home Kerkelanden or Bosdrift | €1000 | €2400 | per move |
| Detached house or villa | €1800 | €4000 | per move |

A mover who knows Hilversum knows which avenues are too low for a high car and at which driveways it is better to park on the street and commute. This prevents damage to gravel, pavers and garden walls that you are responsible for. Local companies also work more often with monumental buildings and instruments, and drive quickly from Hilversum, Bussum or Laren.
A studio costs 350 to 600 euros, two rooms 500 to 900 euros and three rooms 720 to 1,250 euros. A single-family home in Kerkelanden costs 1,000 to 2,400 euros, a villa costs 1,800 to 4,000 euros. The volume and accessibility of the driveway make the difference.
Not for loading and unloading. If a large vehicle needs to remain parked for longer in a place that is not designated for that purpose, you can apply for a parking exemption of 47.45 euros for a week or 90.60 euros for a month. The core shopping area has its own exemption.
Have the instrument quoted separately, by your mover or by a specialized company. A piano weighs 200 to 350 kilos and a grand piano weighs more, so this requires your own material. Count on 200 to 750 euros and have it confirmed for what amount it is co-insured.
Not always. Long driveways with loose gravel hold back a heavy vehicle and overhanging branches limit the clearance. Many movers leave their car on the street and commute by bus. That extra ride costs one to two hours, so ask if that is included.
With a villa you will need 5 to 8 weeks, because a team of four fills up quickly. Three weeks is possible for an apartment near the station. July and August are the busiest, along with each change of month. A working day in the middle of the month gives the biggest discount.
