Moving costs tax

Moving company costs
How much your move will ultimately cost depends on several factors. Below we outline the most important questions removals companies should ask themselves when quoting. Price calculations can of course vary depending on the removals company.
- How big is your apartment or how many rooms does it have?
- What is the total quantity of goods removed?
- What about the location of the apartment? (floors, parking conditions, size of corridors).
- How far apart are the two apartments?
- When would you like to move? (day of the week and time of year).
- What services do you need? (Such as kitchen assembly, disassembling and reassembling furniture…).
- Is the workload at the company currently low or high?
You should also think about things like packaging materials. You will need approximately one large box per square metre. At Umzugsfirma Schwabe you can find cheap cardboard boxes, protective films and other packing materials. You can choose from both new and used items. You will receive a small compensation for each box delivered. Click here for complete offer and order form.

Calculate moving costs
If you want to know how much you will pay for your move, you can calculate your moving costs by using a moving calculator. Especially if you have a limited budget, it can be helpful if you can plan your budget in advance. You can use the following tools to calculate your removal costs from home.
Please note: A supposedly more expensive removal company is ultimately cheaper than a removal company that charges lower removal prices because all services are already included in the price. So always check what is included in the service offer and read the small print.

Saving tips for moving service costs
Do you have a limited budget and want to reduce your moving costs? Then we have some suggestions for you:
- Transfer costs largely depend on the volume of your luggage. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get rid of old things. Give away, sell, or dispose of everything you won’t need in your new home. This will also free up space for new things.
- Compare prices from different companies. Especially in Berlin, there is often a significant difference in the prices charged by freight forwarders. So take enough time to compare all the offers and get to know the companies. For example, make inquiries and request quotations.
- Handle packing and assembly work. Where possible, try to seek help from family, friends or acquaintances. In Berlin and other big cities there are also often many students offering moving help. Always ensure that your removals helpers are insured against damage that may occur during the move. This will avoid any unpleasant surprises. With a standard move, the removals company is still responsible for the loading and unloading, but with a low-budget move you do the work yourself.
Moving company prices & costs
So we’ve already explained how you can get the best price for your move. But of course we also want to present some concrete figures. Before doing so, we would like to briefly explain that there are some special features that you should be aware of when visiting Berlin. For example, in Berlin there are many (old) high-rise buildings without elevators. This means that you will probably need a moving lift. In most cases, you will also need to set up no-stopping zones so that you can unload goods comfortably without disrupting traffic.
Furthermore, companies coming from Berlin are best familiar with the conditions of the city. For example, they know which shortcuts they can use when there is a lot of traffic. So make sure that not only is the price right, but also that the company you choose has enough experience.
