A complete removal is expensive. It does not stop with the moving service. The removal service is only a small part of the total removal. However, as a professional moving company in Amsterdam we are specialised in that part of the removal process. But what does a removal company cost?
What movers cost is in our opinion nothing to be secretive about, although on the contrary, there is very little information on the internet about what a removal with a removal company really costs.
Read more below and get an answer to the question: What does it cost to move with a removal company? You will also find examples of different types of removals with corresponding price indications.

It’s not strange that call-out charges are made during a move. Often there will be at least two movers during the move and the costs of these movers have to be settled. At Student Moving Service, however, we have a rule that no moving costs are charged for moves within the city limits of Amsterdam. As a moving company in Amsterdam we take care of these costs.
When you request a quotation from a removal company, it is a good idea to ask whether the costs for driving to the destination can be provided. This way you can make a good comparison with the costs of other removal companies. Especially when you leave the region (for example when moving from Rotterdam to North Holland) it is good to take this into account because the call-out charges are a large part of the total removal costs.
Wherever in the Netherlands you are looking for a moving company: the experienced movers of Student Verhuis Service are at your service. For instance, we are at your service as a moving company Rotterdam and as a moving company The Hague.
The movers or porters themselves are the biggest cost item at most removals. Employees are often charged per hour by the moving companies. This is also the case with Student Moving Service. When requesting a moving quote an indication is made of the number of hours the movers will be needed. When you help moving yourself, those hours will be included as well. Of course, you do not have to pay for these hours. This way you keep the moving costs low and you can move cheaply.
At Student Moving Service we have one clear rate for a mover. This is a transparent hourly rate. This way you can see from the quotation what the final costs for the move will be. This also applies to the costs of the move. Because we can give you the most accurate indication possible, you will have a clear picture of the possible costs in advance. These may still vary if it turns out afterwards that the move has taken more or less time.

If you want to move cheaply, choose to move on a weekday. In the weekend we are forced to charge a surcharge, just like other moving companies. So moving company costs are lower when you move on a weekday.
By disassembling large pieces of furniture at the old address and assembling them at the new address yourself, you will save a lot of money compared to the removal company.
If you are moving house, you will need moving boxes. You can also save money by renting moving boxes instead of buying them. Student Moving Service offers solid moving boxes that you return to us after use. You can rent an average moving box for a fifth of the price!
By packing everything yourself, you not only save money because the moving costs are lower. Experience shows that it is nice to fill the boxes yourself and to mark them so that you know where everything is.
In the run-up to the move, you will probably already travel to your new home several times. By taking items with you during these visits, the movers of the moving company will not have to make an extra trip.
The removal costs charged by a recognised removal company are significantly higher than those charged by an unrecognised removal company. In many cases the difference is 30-50%! A recognized removal company generally has much higher costs due to:
So, there are advantages to moving with Recognised Movers, but the question is whether these advantages also outweigh the significantly lower price that other removal companies charge for the same work.
