    Few belongings, little time

    Why a professional move makes sense for students too

    Renting a van, organising friends, getting the sofa through a narrow stairwell – and in the end there is no parking space. With few belongings we are quick: you only pay for the actual working time, and you can help by having everything ready.

    Ideal for the change of semester: book a WhatsApp video survey in 20–25 minutes, and the quote arrives within 24 hours.

    • From CHF 550.–: for a room or studio, including insurance.
    • Free loan boxes: sturdy and reusable.
    • Packing yourself saves money: shorter working time, lower price.
    • No Saturday surcharge: move when you have no lectures.

        Frequently asked questions

        Frequently asked questions about student moves

        Who arranges parking outside the shared flat for a student move?

        We do: we arrange the parking reservation so that the removal van stands close to the front door and nobody has to hunt for a space. The fee for the permit is invoiced to you directly by the responsible authority. When you enquire, tell us what the street outside looks like, for example a Blue Zone or a narrow residential street.

        How exactly is working time billed for a student move?

        In 15-minute increments, with a minimum of 3 hours. For a single room or studio, this means the better everything is prepared, the more likely it is to stay within the minimum. Packed boxes, dismantled small furniture and a clear path to the door save minutes that would otherwise appear on the invoice.

        Where can I store my furniture as a student during a semester abroad?

        In our furniture storage, which is dry, climate-controlled and alarm-protected. We collect your bed, desk and boxes from your room, keep everything for the length of the semester and then deliver it to your new address. That way you hand back the room on time without having to leave furniture with friends.

        When are the rental boxes for a student move delivered, and who collects them?

        We deliver boxes and packing materials around 2–3 weeks before the moving date, free of charge to your door. After you move in, we collect the empty boxes again, so you don't have to store or dispose of them. That leaves enough time alongside lectures and exams to pack without stress.

        What applies when handing back the studio after a student move?

        With our end-of-tenancy cleaning including a handover guarantee, our team is present at the handover. If the landlady still finds defects, we fix them immediately at no extra cost. This saves you a second cleaning day just before the semester starts, and the flat handover is done in a single appointment.

        Why is a cost ceiling better than open billing for students?

        Because you know in advance the maximum amount you will pay. After the free viewing, we can set a cost ceiling or a flat rate on request. If the move is finished faster, with a cost ceiling you only pay for the actual time; if it takes longer, it doesn't cost you more. That keeps your budget predictable.
