Moving costs depend on distance, home size, and services needed. A local move (same city) for a 2-bedroom apartment costs $400–$1,500 in the US, PLN 800–2,500 in Poland, €500–€1,500 in the Netherlands, and €300–€900 in Spain. Long-distance moves cost significantly more — $2,000–$8,000+ in the US for a 3-bedroom home moving 1,000+ miles; Spanish inter-provincial moves run €600–€2,500. The time of year and day of week also affect pricing.

What affects the cost?

  • Distance — local moves are charged hourly; long-distance is by weight and distance
  • Volume/weight of belongings — more stuff means a bigger truck and more labor hours
  • Stairs and access — walk-ups, narrow hallways, and long carry distances add to the cost
  • Time of year — summer (May–September) is peak moving season with 20–30% higher prices
  • Day of week — weekday moves are often cheaper than weekends
  • Additional services — packing, disassembly/reassembly, storage, and specialty items cost extra
  • Insurance/valuation — basic coverage is included, but full-value protection costs 1–3% of item value

Moving costs in the United States

Local US movers charge $80–$200 per hour for a 2-person crew plus truck. Most local moves take 3–8 hours. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and mileage, typically $0.50–$0.80 per pound per 1,000 miles. For interstate moves, verify the moving company has a USDOT number and check reviews on FMCSA's database.

Always get a binding or not-to-exceed estimate for long-distance moves. Avoid movers who ask for large deposits upfront or give estimates without seeing your belongings. The cheapest quote is often a red flag.

Moving costs in Poland

Polish movers charge PLN 80–200 per hour for a 2-person crew with a van. A local apartment move (2–3 rooms) typically costs PLN 800–2,500. Inter-city moves within Poland cost PLN 2,000–6,000+ depending on distance and volume. Many Polish moving companies offer both transport and packing services (pakowanie).

Check for OCP transport insurance. For international moves from/to Poland (common within the EU), expect PLN 5,000–15,000+ depending on destination and volume.

Moving costs in the Netherlands

Dutch movers (verhuizers) charge €35–€60 per hour per mover, with most crews being 2–3 people. A local move for a 2-bedroom apartment costs €500–€1,500. The erkend verhuizer (recognized mover) quality mark from the Organisatie van Erkende Verhuizers guarantees certain service standards and liability coverage.

Many Dutch moves involve steep, narrow staircases (trappenhuis) — if furniture won't fit, a verhuislift (moving hoist/crane through the window) adds €150–€400. This is a common and normal part of moving in the Netherlands, especially in Amsterdam and other historic cities.

Moving costs in Spain

Spanish moving companies (empresas de mudanzas / portes) charge €25–€45 per hour per mozo, IVA at 21% included, with crews typically 2–3 mozos plus driver. A local mudanza for a piso of 2 dormitorios runs €300–€900 all-in for 4-8 hours of work; a piso de 3 dormitorios, €500–€1.500. Mudanzas inter-provinciales (e.g. Madrid to Alicante, Barcelona to Valencia) cost €600–€2.500 depending on volume and distance. Special items: piano vertical €120–€250 extra, piano de cola €300–€600, caja fuerte over 200kg €150–€400.

Two Spain-specific cost drivers worth knowing about: elevador exterior (the external elevator/hoist platform that lifts furniture through balcony openings) is required for ~40% of moves in apartments above the 2nd floor where the staircase or interior elevator can't fit a sofa/wardrobe — adds €120–€280 per use, valid for ~3 hours. Permiso municipal for blocking a parking space (vado / reserva de aparcamiento) at the origen + destino addresses is required by most ayuntamientos in centros históricos — €30–€80 per address, must be requested 7-10 days ahead. Verify the empresa has FENADISMER membership or equivalent insurance — basic coverage is mandatory by law but full-value protection (cobertura ampliada) at 0.6-1.2% of declared value is worth it for anything fragile. For mudanzas internacionales EU-wide, expect €1.500–€5.000 for a piso depending on destination.
