How much does a nationwide move in Germany cost?
Flat-rate pricing rarely works for a professional residential move. The exact cost depends on the distance, the size of your home (the volume of your belongings), and any add-on services you select.
Key cost factors include:
- Total volume of your belongings
- Distance between your old and new address
- Floor level and building accessibility
- Availability of an elevator vs. stairs
- Your preferred moving date
- Packing and furniture assembly services
- Specialty or fragile items
- Additional services like storage or disposal
That’s why we recommend using our digital moving cost calculator. It guides you step-by-step through these factors and provides an instant, reliable estimate no – waiting required.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about moving in Germany
How are the fees for a moving company in Germany calculated?
The total cost for a professional moving company depends on several factors. The main drivers are the distance between locations, the total volume of your belongings (in cubic meters), and how accessible your apartments are (e.g., floor level, stairwells, or if there is an elevator). Optional add-ons like professional packing or furniture assembly also factor into the price.
To get a fair and accurate estimate, we recommend using our free online moving cost calculator.
Why should I hire a professional moving service instead of a DIY move?
People often underestimate what it takes to manage a residential move on their own. You have to rent trucks, round up helpers, secure street parking permits, and personally assume the risk of any transit damage.
An experienced moving company like DACHSER & KOLB completely takes that weight off your shoulders. With our streamlined workflows, trained crews, and proper equipment, we guarantee a safe, stress-free, and perfectly timed relocation.
How does the inquiry process work through the moving cost calculator?
Our calculator gets you to the finish line in three quick steps:
- Enter your starting and destination addresses for your move within Germany.
- Estimate the size of your home or the volume of your belongings.
- Leave your contact information.
Immediately after submitting, you will receive an initial price estimate tailored to your specific details. Following that, your dedicated account manager will connect with you to fine-tune the quote.
When should I start planning my move in Germany?
To ensure everything goes smoothly, we recommend contacting a moving company about 4 to 6 weeks before your desired date. Open slots fill up fast, especially during the busy summer months or around the turn of the month. The sooner you enter your details into our moving cost calculator, the easier it is for us to lock in your preferred date.
Who are DACHSER & KOLB’s moving services designed for?
Our online cost calculator is primarily optimized for residential moves within Germany (such as moving into a new house or relocating to a different city). However, as an experienced logistics provider, we also handle corporate relocations, office moves, and the transport of sensitive, specialized equipment.
If you are planning a commercial move or need full-service furniture installation, simply enter your basic details into the calculator. A dedicated account manager will then reach out to discuss your specific requirements.
What sets DACHSER & KOLB apart from other moving companies in Germany?
What sets us apart is the unique combination of a personal, flexible moving partner backed by the operational security of a major logistics network through our connection to DACHSER SE.
We provide structured planning where every service – from professional packing to secure furniture assembly – compares seamlessly. We leave nothing to chance: your household goods are handled exclusively by trained professionals, and you maintain full control with a dedicated point of contact from your initial calculator estimate all the way to move-in day.
Are my furniture and boxes insured during the move?
Yes, your belongings are legally insured when you hire a professional moving company. DACHSER & KOLB treats your items with the utmost care. In the rare event that something is damaged during transit despite our highly trained staff, our comprehensive liability and cargo insurance has you fully covered financially.
