What Factors Influence Moving Costs?
The costs for a move depend on several factors and cannot be answered with a flat rate. The main determining factors are the size of the apartment, the distance between the two addresses, the number of floors (with or without elevator), and the required number of movers. Additional services such as furniture assembly, packing materials, or the use of a furniture lift also affect the total price. The better the move is planned in advance, the more accurately the effort and thus the price can be calculated. A free quote gives you security and clarity about the expected costs.
Hourly-Based Move or Flat Rates? Advantages and Disadvantages
With Moving Transport Zurich, you have the choice between an hourly-based billing system or an attractive flat rate. The hourly rate is particularly suitable when the exact effort is difficult to estimate – for example, with complex living situations, unclear parking situations, or spontaneous additional requests. In this case, you only pay for the work actually performed.
If you prefer to play it safe, we recommend our fixed-price service. This offers full planning security: The costs are defined in advance – no surprises on moving day. To help you choose the right option for your move, here’s an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of both variants:
Advantages and Disadvantages Compared
| Hourly-Based Move | Flat Rate | |
|---|---|---|
| Advantages | • Flexible for changes • Ideal for smaller volumes • Only effective working time is charged | • Fixed costs in advance • No risk with delays • Ideal for larger moves |
| Disadvantages | • Final price difficult to calculate • Unexpected additional costs possible | • Usually higher base price • Changes in process sometimes subject to surcharge |

How to Save on Your Move
Moving doesn’t have to be expensive – with the right planning, you can save real money. Those who obtain quotes early and plan the move during the week often benefit from more favorable conditions. Do-it-yourself work also pays off: If you pack boxes yourself or help with carrying, it reduces the time required and thus the price. Additionally, it’s worth disposing of furniture you no longer need in advance – less volume means less effort. Also take advantage of combination offers or special promotions that we regularly offer.
