How do international moving quotes work?

Moving your household goods across borders involves complex logistics, customs clearance (if moving from outside the EU), and careful handling. The cost of your move depends primarily on the volume of your belongings and the distance.

  • Get multiple quotes: Prices between moving companies can vary by up to 40% for the exact same route. Always request at least 3 quotes to compare.
  • Check certifications: Ensure your mover is FIDI or IAM certified. This guarantees they meet strict quality and financial standards.
  • Customs (Non-EU): If you are moving from outside the European Union, you can usually import your household goods tax-free to the Netherlands. Your moving company will help you file the required exemption form.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book my mover?

It's highly recommended to start requesting quotes at least 2 to 3 months before your planned move date. During peak season (summer), international movers are fully booked months in advance.

Do moving companies pack my boxes for me?

Most professional international movers offer a full packing service. This is often required for insurance purposes, as the moving company cannot insure items packed by the owner against damage.

Can I just ship a few boxes?

Yes. If you don't have furniture, you don't need a traditional moving company. You can use courier platforms like Eurosender or SendMyBag to affordably ship individual suitcases or boxes door-to-door.
