Your move might stay within the town, from Ridderveld to Kerk en Zanen, or bring you from Boskoop or Hazerswoude-Dorp to the centre. It starts with a survey at your home or by video call. A no-obligation quote with a transparent hourly rate follows, and what you hand over to us is up to you.

Storage

Storage between two homes

If you can't move into your new home yet, we load your belongings into a container at your home. It is sealed in front of you and kept in a climate-controlled hall until it's delivered to your new address.

Good to know

What we look out for in Alphen aan den Rijn

Alphen sits on both banks of the Oude Rijn, with a partly pedestrianised centre and districts from different decades. These points shape how we plan your moving day, and we run through them at the survey.

Let us assess your address

Bridges over the Oude Rijn

If you move to the other bank, the van crosses a movable bridge such as the Koningin Julianabrug or the Albert Schweitzerbrug. When it opens for a boat, we wait for a while, and we build that time into the plan.

Pedestrian zone in the centre

Part of the centre is a pedestrian zone. Loading is allowed at set times, and on Saturdays only early in the morning. If your move doesn't fit, an exemption has to be applied for at least seven days ahead; on request we do that for you.

Zero-emission zone from 2027

From 1 January 2027 there will be a zero-emission zone for vans and lorries in the centre and the area around it. Our 27 electric vehicles can still enter, so it makes no difference to your moving date.

Stairs in older family homes

Ridderveld and Zegersloot were built from the 1970s onwards. The stairs in these houses aren't always wide enough for a box-spring bed or corner sofa. It then goes in through the window on our electric moving lift.

Independently certified

Four certifications, externally audited every year

Every year Kiwa audits us on quality (ISO 9001), the environment (ISO 14001), safe working (VCA) and information security (ISO 27001).

Storage while you're between two Alphen addresses

We manage over 1,000 of our own containers in automated, climate-controlled halls with 4K AI camera surveillance. A mobile container at your own address is possible too.

Our people

Moving is a trade, not a side job

A box-spring bed or a corner sofa will not always go up the stairs of a family home in Ridderveld or Zegersloot. Our movers bring the moving lift there and take a piece like that in through the window. If the van has to cross the Oude Rijn and the bridge is open, they wait a while; that time is already in the plan.

An experienced foreman on your moving day

The foreman directs the movers and knows the survey and the work order, so you don't have to explain anything twice.

One dedicated account manager from start to finish

From the survey until after the last box, you speak to the same person, who knows your situation and your agreements.

Everyone VCA-certified and holding a VOG

Our movers work to the VCA standard for safe working and hold a VOG (Dutch certificate of conduct). After all, they come into your home and among your belongings.

Districts and villages

Moving in Alphen aan den Rijn's districts and villages

What moving day needs differs by district and village: loading hours in the centre, the stairs in a family home, or a slightly longer drive to one of the villages. Below you'll see what we look out for.

1 hourresponse time to your request, on business days€ 125,000insured, with no excess

Centre: Hoge and Lage Zijde

On both banks of the Oude Rijn, with a pedestrian zone and paid parking. We plan within the loading hours. A spot for the van and, for flats, arrangements with the owners' association or building manager are things we can take care of on request, as an extra service.

Hoge Zijde · Lage Zijde · Burgemeester Visserpark · De Schans · Berendrecht

Ridderveld and Zegersloot

North of the Oude Rijn, with family homes from the 1970s and 1980s. The van can usually park close to the door; inside, the stairs are the thing to watch, so we bring the moving lift.

Ridderbuurt · Horstenbuurt · Planetenbuurt · Steinenbuurt · Edelstenenbuurt

Kerk en Zanen

The district between the railway and the N11, built from the 1990s onwards. Wider streets and newer homes, but part of it has paid parking. On request we can apply for a space for the van there, as an extra service.

Molenwetering · Europaplein · Evenaar-Oost · De Oude Wereld · Zefierzijde

The villages around Alphen

If you move between the town and one of the municipality's villages, both addresses go into one work order. At the survey we check where the van can stand at each of them.

Practical matters

What needs arranging for your move in Alphen

Your account manager lists what needs arranging around moving day. We do most of it, and anything you need to do yourself, we tell you in good time. This often comes up in Alphen.

A space for the van

The centre and parts of Kerk en Zanen have paid parking. On request we apply for the exemption and put the signs out, as an extra service, so the van stands close to your door on the day.

Your own car in a paid parking area

If you move into a paid parking area before you're registered at the new address, the municipality issues a temporary moving parking permit for one number plate, valid for a month. You apply yourself; we point it out at the survey.

Packing with reusable materials

If you'd rather not fill the boxes yourself, we pack for you using reusable packing materials. If you prefer to do it yourself, we deliver the moving boxes to you beforehand.

Two dates that don't line up

If you hand over your old home before you get the keys to your new one, we collect your belongings on one day and deliver them on another. Meanwhile everything stays sealed in our storage.

Frequently asked questions about moving in Alphen aan den Rijn

If your question isn't listed, or you'd like to know what applies at your address, call 088 321 99 00.

Ask your question in the request

How much does a removal company in Alphen aan den Rijn cost?+

The price is driven by the time your move takes, which depends on your belongings, access to both addresses and what you do yourself. A flat in the pedestrian zone takes more time than a family home in Kerk en Zanen with the van outside. After the survey, a no-obligation quote shows the time we expect at a transparent hourly rate.

Do I need an exemption to move in Alphen's town centre?+

Only if your move falls outside the pedestrian zone's loading hours. On Saturdays that window is short, early morning only. A move is a valid reason for an exemption. You apply to the municipality for it at least seven days ahead, or we do that for you on request, as an extra service.

Do you take the bridges over the Oude Rijn into account?+

Yes. Moving to the other bank means crossing a movable bridge such as the Koningin Julianabrug or the Albert Schweitzerbrug. If it's open for a boat, the van waits for a while, and we allow for that in the plan.

Is there a zero-emission zone in Alphen aan den Rijn?+

Yes, from 1 January 2027 in the centre and the surrounding area, for vans and lorries. It makes no difference to your move: our 27 electric vehicles run on solar power we generate ourselves and can enter the zone without an exemption.

Do you also move people to Boskoop, Hazerswoude or Koudekerk?+

Yes, to every village in the municipality and also to Leiden, Woubrugge or Gouda. You keep one account manager and one work order for both addresses. At the survey we check where the van can stand at each and whether an exemption is needed.

How far ahead should I book movers in Alphen?+

Our schedule runs eight weeks ahead, so two months is comfortable. Short notice is often still possible, so just call. If you're moving in the centre and need an exemption, it helps if we know your date at least a few weeks in advance.

Are my belongings insured when I move in Alphen?+

Yes, up to € 125,000 with no excess, as long as our movers are transporting your belongings. Anything you load yourself isn't covered by this. At the survey we agree what we do and what you do, so that's clear beforehand.
