What the price is made up of
On top of that comes the call-out charge. It depends on your region and is listed as a separate line on the quote. For items over 80 kilos, a furniture lift or a weekend move, the surcharge is on the quote in advance.

| Furniture lift | By the hour, at least one hour |
| Kilometres between both addresses | Per kilometre, depending on the van |
| Call-out charge | Depending on your region |
| Moving at the weekend | Surcharge per mover |
Moves as we often do them
We do these moves often, with the crew and the time they usually take. What it costs for your home, you can see with the calculator at the top of the page.
Studio or room
2 movers, 20 m³ van
Flat, 3 rooms, second floor without a lift
4 movers, 40 m³ van
Family home, 4 rooms
4 movers, 60 m³ van
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.
What makes your move more or less expensive
The hourly rate is fixed. What determines the bill is how long it takes. These are the things that make the biggest difference.
Takes more time
-
Stairs without a lift
Every flight of stairs takes time, especially with wardrobes and a washing machine. The price calculator takes that into account.
-
A long walk to the van
If the van can't park at the door, the crew walks back and forth every time.
-
Items over 80 kilos
Think of a piano, a safe or an American fridge. For those we charge a surcharge per mover, on the quote in advance.
-
A furniture lift
Sometimes the lift is quicker than the stairs. We charge it by the hour, with a minimum of one hour.
-
A longer distance
We charge travel time in hours and the kilometres per kilometre, depending on the van.
Saves time
-
Boxes closed and labelled
If everything is packed and ready with a room number, the crew can start straight away.
-
A clear path to the door
Hallway empty, bikes out of the way and a space for the van. Every minute the crew doesn't have to search saves money.
-
Packing yourself
Then you only pay for the materials you use, at list price.
-
Getting rid of what isn't coming
Whatever goes to the charity shop doesn't need to go in the van.
You pay nothing extra for this
- Dismantling and reassembly of wardrobes, beds and tables
- Blankets, dollies, straps and tools: standard in every van
- The quote itself: no obligation, you only decide when everything is right
- A piano from ground floor to ground floor
- A second opinion on a quote from another company
If you pack yourself
We supply boxes and materials. What you use is on the invoice.
When you get a fixed price
You only get a fixed price after a site survey. We visit you and see for ourselves how many things there are, what the stairs are like and where the van can park.
Without a site visit you get a quote based on hours. We prepare it after a phone call of about ten minutes, and your photos help.
The quote shows the number of movers, the van, the estimated number of hours, the kilometres and the call-out charge. We estimate the hours generously. The invoice shows the hours we actually worked, at the same rates.
Questions about the bill
How do you charge for the movers?
Per mover per hour. On top of that come the van and the kilometres. How many movers and which van you need is on the quote.
When is a furniture lift needed?
When the stairs are too narrow or too steep, or when the lift is quicker than the stairs. We charge the lift by the hour, with a minimum of one hour. Whether it is needed, we discuss in advance in the phone call, and a photo of the stairs helps.
Do I pay a call-out charge?
Yes. The amount depends on your region. We also charge the kilometres between the two addresses, depending on the van. Both are listed as separate lines on the quote.
What if it takes longer than the quote?
Then we charge the extra time at the same hourly rate. That rarely happens, because we estimate the hours generously. If there is more to move than agreed, we discuss it with you before we start.
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.
