Moving company Hilversum

Oomen Verhuizers & Opslag is a moving company serving all of Hilversum, moving homes out of villas in Trompenberg, 1930s houses in Zuid and gallery flats in Kerkelanden. What your move needs depends on the neighbourhood: a moving lift for a tight staircase, say, or a van that has to enter the pedestrianised centre within the loading hours. We work that out during the survey, at home or by video.

✓Centre behind bollards: we load within the set loading hours; on request we apply for an access exemption for you

Moving in and around Hilversum

Private, business or with storage: how we move you in Hilversum

A move in Hilversum might stay within town, from the Bloemenkwartier to Trompenberg, or take you to a neighbouring village such as Bussum, Laren or Huizen. You decide how much you hand over: just transport, or packing, dismantling and reassembly too, followed by our handyman for lights and curtain rails. Moving on to Amsterdam, Utrecht or abroad is no problem either.

What we check beforehand

Four things that complicate a move in Hilversum

In Hilversum the hard part is rarely the distance. It's a centre closed off by bollards, staircases from the 1930s and neighbourhoods where the van can't pull up at the front door. During the survey we walk the route from van to living room.

Let us look at your address

Bollards around the shops

The central shopping area is closed off with bollards. Without an exemption you can only load and unload there on Mondays from 6am to 1pm and Tuesday to Friday from 6am to 11am. If that doesn't work, we can apply for an access exemption on request.

Tight stairs in Zuid

The Bloemenkwartier and Schrijverskwartier are full of 1930s houses. If the staircase is steep or has a tight turn, the wardrobe or sofa leaves through the window on our electric moving lift instead.

High-rise in Kerkelanden

At the entrance to Kerkelanden there are gallery flats of up to fourteen storeys. We protect the lift car and allow time for the walk along the gallery, so the schedule matches reality. Booking the lift through the building manager is something we can do for you on request, as an extra service.

Home zones in the Meent

The Hilversumse Meent is a winding 1970s estate with no straight streets, and the van can't always park at your door. We check in advance where it can stand and match the number of movers to the walking distance.

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).

They go into a container at your home, sealed in front of you, and then stay in one of our automated, climate-controlled facilities with more than 1,000 containers and 4K AI camera surveillance.

Our people

Moving is a trade, not a side job

If the stairs in your 1930s house in Hilversum's Bloemenkwartier or Schrijverskwartier have a tight turn, our movers cover the floor and banister and the wardrobe goes out through the window on the moving lift. In the Meent the van can't always stop outside your door, so there the walking route decides how many movers they bring.

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 with the same person, who knows your situation and your agreements.

Everyone VCA-certified and with 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.

Different in every district

From Trompenberg to Kerkelanden: what we look for in Hilversum

What moving day needs varies from one Hilversum district to the next. Below is a short guide to the kind of homes in each part of town and what that means for the van, the stairs and the equipment we bring.

€ 125,000insured in transit, with no excess13thfloor: the reach of our own moving lift

Centrum

Flats above shops and older buildings around the central shopping area. The van may only stand at the door within the loading hours, so we start early and check beforehand whether everything fits down the stairs or needs the lift.

Centrum · Havenstraatbuurt · Langgewenstbuurt · Sint Vitusbuurt

Noordwest

Villas on leafy lanes, with a garden path or drive between the road and the front door. We protect that route and the floors inside, and a grand piano travels with our piano transport, separately from the rest of your belongings.

Boomberg · Trompenberg-Noord · Trompenberg-Zuid · Villaparken · Mediapark

Zuid

1930s houses with bay windows and housing blocks by the town architect Dudok. A wide sofa or wardrobe won't always get past the stairs and door frames. We cover floors and banisters, and the big pieces go out via the lift and window.

Bloemenkwartier Noord · Bloemenkwartier Zuid · Schrijverskwartier · Staatsliedenkwartier · Zeeheldenkwartier

Zuidwest

Kerkelanden has gallery flats and family houses grouped around courtyards. For the flats, the lift and parking spot are agreed with the building manager, which we can do for you on request; for the courtyards we build the walk from van to door into the schedule.

Practical matters

What needs applying for and arranging in Hilversum

Part of the work happens before moving day. How much depends on your Hilversum address. After the survey you receive a work order that sets out what we arrange and anything you may still need to do yourself.

Exemption for the van

You don't need a permit in Hilversum just to load and unload. If the van has to stand where parking is prohibited, an exemption is needed. On request we apply to the municipality in good time and put out the signs.

Lift and building manager

In a block of flats you book the building's lift and agree with the owners' association or manager where the van may park; on request we arrange that for you, as an extra service. If there's no suitable lift, we bring our own moving lift, which reaches the 13th floor.

Grand piano or piano

Pianos and grand pianos travel with our specialist piano transport equipment. The instrument is secured in the van and goes straight to its spot at the new address. Mention it at the survey so it's on the work order.

Between sale and keys

If you hand over your old home before you get the keys to the new one, your belongings go into storage for a while and we deliver on the day you have the keys. Your account manager keeps track of both dates.

Frequently asked questions about moving in Hilversum

Call 088 321 99 00 if your question isn't listed here, and we'll look straight away at what your Hilversum address needs.

Ask your question in the request

How much does a move in Hilversum cost?+

The cost of a move in Hilversum depends mainly on how much you're taking, how accessible both addresses are and how much help you want. We charge a transparent hourly rate, stated in the quote in advance. A moving lift for tight stairs or an access exemption for the centre is included in that quote. After the survey you get a no-obligation quote.

Can a removal van enter the centre of Hilversum?+

Yes, but only at set times, because the central shopping area of Hilversum is closed off with bollards. Without an exemption you can load and unload there on Mondays from 6am to 1pm and Tuesday to Friday from 6am to 11am. If your move doesn't fit those hours, you apply to the municipality for an access exemption; on request we do that for you, as an extra service.

Do you need a permit for a removal van in Hilversum?+

You don't need a parking permit or exemption in Hilversum to load and unload a removal van. An exemption is only needed if the van has to stand where parking is prohibited. During the survey we check the situation at both addresses. If anything needs applying for, we can handle it on request and put out the signs, as an extra service.

Is there a low or zero-emission zone in Hilversum?+

No, Hilversum has neither a low-emission zone nor a zero-emission zone; in April 2025 the council found insufficient support for one. It makes no difference to your move with us. Our 27 electric vehicles may enter every low and zero-emission zone without an exemption, including Amsterdam and Utrecht, which do have a zone.

Can you move a grand piano out of a villa in Hilversum?+

Yes, piano and grand piano transport is one of our services, including from villas in Trompenberg, Boomberg or the Villaparken. A grand piano needs different equipment from a wardrobe, so mention it at the survey. We then look at the route through the house, the doors and the garden path, and put the transport on the work order.

How far ahead should I book a move in Hilversum?+

Our schedule runs eight weeks ahead, so booking about two months out lets you fix a date. At short notice there is often still room, so do call. If your Hilversum address needs an exemption or access exemption, an early date helps us apply to the municipality in good time.
