What does a move at Oomen Movers cost?

Moving is an exciting new chapter, but it can also come with its share of stress and costs. Many people wonder: exactly how much does a move cost? At Oomen Verhuizers, we help you get a clear picture so you’re well prepared and won’t face any surprises.

What factors determine the cost of a moving company?

The cost of a move is determined by a number of key factors:

• Number of movers: the more staff required, the higher the costs.
• Equipment needed: for example, moving lifts, boxes, protective materials, or special vehicles.
• Duration of the move: We charge by the hour; you only pay for the work we actually perform.
• Distance: Moving within the same city is cheaper than moving a longer distance within the Netherlands or even abroad as part of an international move.
• Volume of belongings: the more furniture and boxes there are, the longer the move will take and the more supplies will be needed.
• Moving date: Peak periods, such as the summer months or weekends, are often more expensive.

In addition, preparation plays a major role. The better everything is packed and ready, the more efficiently we can work and the more cost-effective the move will be. Of course, you can also choose to let us handle everything for you, so that we take all the work off your hands.

How do you calculate moving company costs?

The cost of a moving company can vary greatly from one company to another. This is because each moving company sets its own rates and takes various factors into account. When calculating costs, moving companies typically consider the number of movers, the equipment needed, the duration of the move, the distance, the volume of your belongings, and the moving date.

In addition, it varies by company whether additional services, such as packing, unpacking, furniture assembly, or temporary storage, are offered as standard or charged as extra fees. For example, a move that includes packing is convenient and saves a lot of time and stress, but of course comes with additional costs. The larger the move and the more items that need to be packed, the higher these costs typically are. The way rates are determined also varies: some companies charge by the hour, while others offer fixed-price packages.
