Moving costs in Switzerland – calculate the price of your move

Average moving costs: real data

Every year we pass on more than 12,000 moving requests to Swiss moving companies. The tables below show the average prices actually paid, taken from our matching data. Use them as a benchmark when comparing quotes — the exact price depends on your situation.

What determines the price of a move?

The main factor is the volume to be moved — apartment size and the number of rooms are a good approximation. Added to that are the distance between your old and new home, the access (floor, elevator, parking) and the services included: furniture disassembly and reassembly, packing material, storage. Always compare at least 3 quotes covering the same scope of work.

Moving costs by number of rooms

Moving costs by living area

For large or modern apartments, the living area is often more meaningful than the number of rooms.

Moving costs by distance (3–3.5-room apartment)

The table shows average moving costs by distance for a 3–3.5-room apartment. Up to around 100 km the values differ only slightly; beyond that, the gap widens. Also compare the scope of services and transport conditions in your quote.

Combine your move with end-of-tenancy cleaning

Many moving companies offer the move and the end-of-tenancy cleaning from a single source — convenient, because you deal with one contact. You can find the cleaning prices on our end-of-tenancy cleaning costs page. For everything else around your move, see our moving checklist.
