Moving company Leiden
Moving in Leiden needs good preparation. The van has to be able to park somewhere and your stairs have to allow it. That is why we ask for a photo of the stairwell in advance and check where the van can park. If an exemption is needed, we arrange it with you.

What we look out for in Leiden
Town centre and canals
Narrow streets, and the van can't always park at the door. If an exemption is needed, we arrange it with you in advance.
Upstairs flats with a winding staircase
Send us a photo of the staircase in advance. We will tell you whether an item fits through or whether the furniture lift is needed.
Student and starter homes
Small volumes. Usually two movers and one van are done in a morning.
What our customers say
What a great bunch. Clear and very friendly communication about everything: arrival time, expectations, estimated working time and so on. No surprises afterwards and very happy. We had a good laugh, and they took care of us and our belongings.
Verhuisbedrijf Nieuw Begin. What stars, polite and amazingly fast. So helpful, nothing was too much trouble and they had a solution for everything. They really did everything from start to finish. I could not have done it without them.
A tidy and professional team of movers. They work incredibly hard and hardly give themselves time for a break. They handle your belongings carefully during the move. And compliments too for the good organisation and clear communication.
Services often needed in Leiden
Pianos and heavy items
Because of the narrow, winding stairs, a piano in Leiden often goes in through the window.
House removals
From a studio to a family home. We agree in advance where the van will park.
Urgent removals
A studio or starter home can often still be fitted into the schedule the same week.
How your move works
After the first call you know who is coming, on which day and roughly what it will cost.
You get in touch
Through the form, by phone or on WhatsApp. We call you back and go through what needs to be done together.
Phone call
We call you and go through the move together: what needs to come along, the stairs, the cupboards and the attic. A few photos via WhatsApp help too.
A quote, generously estimated
We estimate the hours on the generous side. If you finish sooner, the invoice shows that too.
We load, drive, unload and reassemble
The same crew loads and unloads. We reassemble wardrobes and beds at the new address.
What you arrange with the municipality of Leiden
If the van needs an exemption, we arrange it with you in advance. The municipality's fees are not included in our price.
The van at your door
If you need barriers or a parking ban, you apply for a traffic exemption with DigiD. Do this at least eight weeks in advance; it costs € 32.45 plus the traffic measures. In the low traffic town centre you may load and unload without an exemption, Monday to Saturday from 04:30 to 11:00.
Bulky waste and the recycling centre
The recycling centre is at J.C. de Rijpstraat 11. By car you can only go by appointment. Having bulky waste collected is free, up to 2 m³.
Registering your move
You can do this from four weeks before until five days after the move at the latest, online with DigiD. Register your move with the municipality

The cost guide shows, per type of home, how many movers and hours we usually allow, and how much time stairs without a lift take. We also move in Alphen aan den Rijn, The Hague, Gouda, Zoetermeer and Woerden.
Frequently asked questions about moving in Leiden
Can the van park outside the door in the town centre?
Not always, because the streets are narrow. If the van is parked further away, we walk further with every item. We factor that extra walking into the estimate in advance, so there are no surprises on the day.
My staircase is narrow and winding. Will my sofa fit through?
Send us a photo of the stairs via WhatsApp in advance, or describe them in the phone call. Then we will tell you whether the sofa fits. If it does not, it goes through the window with the furniture lift. We charge the lift by the hour, with a minimum of one hour. So you know well before moving day.
What does a studio or student room in Leiden cost?
We move a studio or room of about 12 m³ with two movers and the small van, usually in three to four hours. With the calculator on this page you can see it for your own situation.
How soon can you move me in Leiden?
Often the same week. Call or WhatsApp 085 333 2351 and you will hear straight away what fits in the schedule. An urgent move in Leiden costs the same hourly rate.
Do you also move businesses in Leiden?
Yes. For an office in Leiden we come to look first, including at the loading spot in the street. Within 48 hours after that you have one fixed price, with a schedule per department.
Do I need a permit for the removal van in Leiden?
Only if barriers or a parking ban are needed. You apply for that exemption at least eight weeks in advance, for € 32.45. In the low traffic town centre, loading and unloading is allowed until 11:00 without an exemption. We check with you in advance what your street needs.
