A moving company in Vlaardingen often has an easier time than in Rotterdam: the neighborhoods are more spacious and the car can usually be parked right in front of the porch. Via Moving.nl you can compare free quotes from movers who serve Vlaardingen and the Vlaardingen region, including their reviews.
In het kort
Loading, driving and unloading are the basic work of any moving service. Vlaardingen movers also dismantle cupboards and beds, pack fragile items and rent a moving lift when a staircase or gallery is too tight. The space in the city works to your advantage: in the Westwijk, Holy and Vlaardinger-Ambacht, a full-fledged box truck can drive right up to the porch, which saves lugging meters and therefore hours.
Include those extra services and your specific wishes immediately in your request; Booking afterwards costs more. With every move you will receive a tailor-made quote, in which the entire move will be taken care of. Also ask if the company does international moves if your new address is across the border.
If your rental contract expires before the keys are handed over, you can rent storage space from the moving company itself. Your belongings will then be placed in a container or warehouse and later transferred to the new home. Count on 60 to 165 euros per month and ask if loading and unloading is included.
Four things determine your price: the number of cubic meters of contents, how many stairs there are, how far the car is from the door and which extras you purchase. Vlaardingen rates are below the level of Rotterdam and The Hague, mainly because the car is more often parked in front of the door here and parking outside the center is free.
For a studio you usually pay 295 to 510 euros. A three-room house in the Westwijk or Babberspolder costs 590 to 1,025 euros, a single-family home in Holy or Vlaardinger-Ambacht costs 825 to 2,050 euros. A mover only mentions a hard number after he has answered your home, at the door or via video calling.
What is not mentioned in a quote will cost you the most afterwards. Moving boxes, packing materials, the facade lift and waiting money in case of delays are the four items that require the most attention. Therefore, compare not only the costs of a move but also the associated services, and have everything written out including VAT.
Paid parking applies in the center, in part of the Vettenoordsepolder and in the western part of Oostwijk. This runs from Monday to Saturday, from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. You can park for free elsewhere, although the pressure in the VOP is high because center visitors are diverting there.
The rule for large vehicles also applies to the moving van. A vehicle longer than six meters or higher than 2.40 meters may only be parked in designated places within the built-up area, such as the De Vergulde Hand business park, Groot Vettenoord and the Koningin Wilhelminahaven. This restriction does not apply as long as the vehicle is there for the work for which it is needed, so it can be parked at your door during loading and unloading. For exceptions, apply for an exemption from the municipality of Vlaardingen.
The Westwijk was built from 1954 onwards in about ten years for around 20,000 inhabitants. Of the almost 5,900 homes, only about 18 percent are single-family homes. The rest consists of low-rise flats, usually three or four floors with a porch and without a lift.
Those stairs are straight and wide enough for cupboards, but a three-seater sofa or double mattress often gets stuck on the landing. In the Vettenoordsepolder and around the old center there are pre-war workers' houses with narrower stairs and smaller rooms. Babberspolder-Oost has been largely renovated, with new construction that does have a lift.
From the third or fourth floor in a porch apartment, movers almost always choose the elevator along the facade. A facade lift costs 135 to 340 euros per day and shortens the job by hours, because your furniture no longer has to go around the bend of the landing. Send photos of your stairwell and facade so that the team knows in advance what they are taking with them.
Many moves do not remain within the municipality. Rotterdam is fifteen minutes away via the A20; the Westland, Maassluis and Hoek van Holland are on the same line to the west. Moving in the Vlaardingen region gives you a lot of choice, because a moving company in Vlaardingen drives those routes every day. If your new address is in the center of Rotterdam, please inquire about the zero-emission zone that applies within the ring road.
Request three and place them on the table. How many people are coming, how many hours are reserved and what falls within that says more than the sum at the bottom. If one of the three dives far below the other, a line is missing.
Never agree on a price over the phone alone. Film your entire home, including the storage room and the balcony, or invite the mover for a recording. Without that recording, you are still counting on feelings, and those types of estimates grow on moving day. After such a recording you know whether your move is in good hands with a reliable moving company in Vlaardingen.
Do that last round thoroughly. If you see a damaged frame or a dented cupboard, capture it on camera before the car drives down the street. Also report it during the move if a piece is handled too roughly; If you wait until next week, the burden of proof is on you.
Movers are most likely to fill up around the first and last working days of the month, because rental contracts expire on that date. The summer months are the busiest period. If you want to request a quote in July or August, do so three to five weeks in advance; during the rest of the year, two to three weeks is usually also possible.
If your date has not yet been determined, please add it. Companies with a gap on Tuesday or Wednesday in the middle of the month charge less for this. For a single-family home in Holy, this quickly amounts to hundreds of euros.
Most questions are about the rate, the place for the car and the facade lift. They are listed one by one below the price table.
If you are moving, describe the move and both addresses on Moving.nl. Movers serving Vlaardingen and the Vlaardingen area respond to this, including their rating and the number of customers who gave that rating. According to the Consumers' Association, four quotes differ by an average of 400 euros between the lowest and the highest, so hiring a moving company starts with comparing. You pay nothing for that comparison and don't have to choose anyone.

A moving company that knows Vlaardingen knows that in the Westwijk it can drive a full box truck up to the porch and that a fourth floor there requires a facade lift. It also knows the rules for large vehicles and knows where the car can be parked afterwards. A company with a warehouse at De Vergulde Hand will be in your street within ten minutes, so your call-out costs remain low and in the event of damage, someone will come quickly.
A studio costs 295 to 510 euros, a two-room apartment 415 to 780 euros and a three-room house 590 to 1,025 euros. A single-family home is between 825 and 2,050 euros. What is stated at the bottom of the quotation follows from the number of cubic meters, how many floors the team has to climb, the lugging distance to the porch and extras such as facade lift, packing or storage.
Yes, during loading and unloading. The rule that large vehicles may only be parked in designated areas does not apply as long as the vehicle is needed for work. If he remains standing afterwards, he has to go to De Vergulde Hand or Groot Vettenoord. For exceptions, request an exemption.
In the center, part of the Vettenoordsepolder and the western part of Oostwijk, from Monday to Saturday between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm. You can park for free elsewhere in the city. The pressure in the VOP is high, because center visitors there move to the free places.
Usually yes, from the third or fourth layer onwards. The stairs in the post-war porch flats are straight and reasonably wide, but a three-seater sofa or double mattress often gets stuck on the landing. A facade lift costs 135 to 340 euros per day. Share images of your stairwell and facade in advance, and the team will come prepared.
Almost all of them. Rotterdam is fifteen minutes away via the A20; Maassluis, Hoek van Holland and Westland lie westward on the same route. If you go to the city center of Rotterdam, ask if the vehicle can enter the zero-emission zone, because separate requirements apply.
