A move can be done by yourself, but you can also choose to hire professional movers. When you hire a moving company, this will save you a lot of time and energy, which will ensure a smooth move. Many Dutch people do not know that you can also move cheaply with professional moving companies, which is why this option is unfortunately often skipped. This is a shame, which is why Moova is happy to help you with cheap moving.
Why should you move with a moving company?
During a move, not only do you have to move your belongings, but you often have to do a lot more work. Now that you are moving, it is therefore wise to look for a moving company so that multiple movers can help you with your move. They have professional knowledge and, due to their experience, know exactly how to pack and move (large) furniture and other objects.
Certified moving companies
Many of the national moving companies in the Netherlands are affiliated with the trade association of recognized movers. This allows them to offer you certain guarantees, but they do have to pay the necessary costs to the organization. They also have higher personnel costs and all these extra moving costs are of course passed on to the customer, which is why they often have higher rates.
These moving companies all have the same conditions and because of this they can give you a guarantee certificate when booking. This way you can always be sure that the move will go ahead. Your belongings are also very well insured and you will not have to deal with a deductible in case of damage to your belongings.
An unrecognized moving company
An unrecognized moving company can keep their rates low because they have no extra costs. They are often regional moving companies that would like to help you with your move. However, it is true that these moving companies all have different conditions and it is therefore extra important to read them carefully. Also get good information about the insurances and always ask if there is a deductible.
(Non)recognized movers. What do you choose now?
The service at all companies is actually the same. Whether it is a recognized moving company or not. They always work with professional movers and usually these moving companies are also well insured. Always make sure that you are well prepared so that you will not encounter any surprises later. Do you have a larger budget and do you like the guarantees of a recognized moving company? Then you can of course just opt for that!
Rent a moving lift
During a move, you often need more than just a few movers. For example, a moving lift can sometimes be necessary so that the move can proceed safely. Do you want to rent a moving lift? Then you can always ask the moving company for the necessary information.
A temporary storage
