What that means for a typical move in Rijswijk
For a move within Rijswijk, or to a nearby town within 20 km, our calculator gives these indications:
- Room or studio: € 600 – € 710
- Apartment: € 600 – € 830
- Terraced or family house: € 3.120 – € 3.790
- Detached house or office: on request — the amount of work varies too much for a fair indication.
The range reflects roughly one hour more or less of work. Stairs, the walking distance to the van and the volume of your belongings decide where you end up. Try your own situation in the moving cost calculator.
Homes in Rijswijk: what affects the price
The municipality of Rijswijk has about 28,745 homes and 59,642 residents; 30% of those homes are single-family houses (source: CBS, Kerncijfers wijken en buurten (85984NED)). Apartments dominate in Rijswijk. For an upper floor a moving lift is often faster and safer than carrying everything down the stairs, and because it saves hours it can even lower the total.
Parking the moving van
Do you want the van on the street or in a parking bay? In many streets you need an exemption or permit from the municipality of Rijswijk. Check this early, as the municipality needs time to process it. A parking exemption is not part of our rates; if it applies, it is listed separately in the quote so you can see exactly what you pay for.
How to keep the cost down
- Declutter first. Everything you do not take along saves time, and time is what you pay for.
- Have boxes packed and labelled. Movers who can start carrying straight away finish sooner.
- Choose a weekday. Saturdays and Sundays carry a 25% surcharge.
- Report special items in advance. A piano, safe or artwork needs its own equipment; mentioning it upfront avoids surprises on the day.
What is fixed in your quote
- A quote is valid for 14 days. Once you accept it in writing, the agreed fixed price is binding; only extra work you ask for on the day itself can be charged separately.
- For moves above € 1.500 we may ask for a deposit of up to 30%. The invoice is due within 14 days.
- Cancelling up to 7 days before the moving day is free of charge.
- Transport is covered by an all-risk transport insurance. Report any damage within 24 hours of delivery.
