We all move once or more in our time and there are few people who really enjoy it. Still, a lot has to be done during a relocation period and therefore as little stress as possible about the relocation is pleasant. How do you handle that in a handy way?
Yourself or the moving company?
Start by thinking about whether you are going to do it yourself or whether you are going to outsource it. The statistics show that 75% of the people who move every year arrange it themselves. That means in concrete numbers that more than a million people go to work themselves every year.
The moving company
Company
Preferably always arrange the moving company via Erkendeverhuizers.nl. You then have to deal with professionals with the right equipment. They are insured and affiliated with the disputes committee, in case something should go wrong and you cannot resolve it together. Arrange it in time!
Cost
The costs cannot be stated by default. This depends on what needs to be transported, the distance to be driven and what else they have to do. Prices can vary widely and it makes sense to request several quotes. Verhuisadvies.nl is a website where you can make calculations.
Move yourself
Something breaks on the way
Of course it is cheaper to arrange it yourself and with some help from friends and family you can go a long way. The friend or family member can of course drop something and in most cases that will not be covered by the insurance. Please contact your insurance company to see if it will come in or if you can insure separately.
Transport
If someone you know has or can arrange a van or truck, that’s fine, of course, but otherwise something has to be rented. Renting an estate container varies from 35 to 100 per day, via Huren.nl you can rent a van / company car if you have more to move.
Moving boxes are available at DIY stores and make sure you always have enough cloths / blankets to protect your belongings.
