2. Moving costs Berlin in detail – hourly rates and price table

Removal companies in Berlin usually charge by the hour. The hourly rate for a 2-person team is typically between 60 € and 90 € per hour, depending on the provider and the scope of services. On top of this come travel costs, lorry hire and, if applicable, additional services.

3. The most important cost factors when moving in Berlin

Moving costs in Berlin are made up of various factors. Depending on the circumstances, the costs can vary considerably:

Flat size & amount of furniture

The more furniture and boxes that have to be transported, the more helpers and time are needed. A fully furnished 3-room flat costs considerably more than a partly furnished flat of the same size.

Floor & lift

Without a lift, every floor increases the time required and therefore the costs. If an external furniture lift has to be hired, additional costs of approx. 150–400 € apply.

Distance & route

Within Berlin, travel costs are usually included in the basic price. For moves to the Berlin commuter belt or elsewhere in Germany, mileage charges are added.

Time of year & booking date

Experience shows that moves at the end of the month, in the summer months (May–September) or around public holidays are more expensive. If you book early and choose flexible dates, you can often save 15–25 %.

Well organised and professionally packed – this is how a move with Lion Umzüge works

At Lion Umzüge you always receive a transparent fixed-price quote – no nasty surprises after the move. We survey your move in advance (in person or by video) and draw up a binding quote.

10. Money-saving tips: how to save when moving in Berlin

• Book early: If you book 4–8 weeks in advance, you often get better terms.
• Choose flexible dates: Moves during the week (Tue–Thu) and outside the peak season (October–April) are cheaper.
• Pack yourself: If you pack the boxes yourself, you save the cost of the packing service.
• Declutter before the move: Less furniture = lower costs. Sell or give away what you no longer need.
• Compare several quotes: Get at least 2–3 quotes and compare services and prices.
• Claim tax relief: Under certain conditions, moving costs can be deducted for tax purposes.

11. How to recognise a fair moving quote

A price on its own says little as long as it is not clear what is provided for it. Make sure, therefore, that the quote lists the number of moving helpers, the vehicle size, the estimated working time and the travel separately. Additional services such as packing, furniture assembly or a no-parking zone should appear as separate items. This way you can see at a glance which of them you really need and where you can lend a hand yourself.

Also ask how extra work is charged, for example if more boxes turn up on moving day than planned. With a fixed price, this point is settled in advance; with hourly billing, it is worth checking the minimum booking. You will find an overview of all our services on the home page of Lion Umzüge, your moving company in Berlin. For a specific quote, all we need is a short list of your furniture and details of the floor, lift and preferred date.
