From District 1 to Oerlikon, from period apartments without a lift to new builds: we handle moves in the city and throughout the canton of Zurich – with no-parking zone organisation, furniture assembly and a quote within 24 hours.
Wohnung, Haus oder Büro in Zürich – sorgfältig verpackt, Möbel montiert.
Umzugsreinigung für eine reibungslose Wohnungsübergabe in Zürich.
Wohnungsräumung, Keller und Estrich in Zürich – fachgerecht entsorgt.
Möbel aus Zürich sauber und sicher eingelagert – kurz- oder langfristig.
Tram lines, blue zones, old buildings without lifts and hillside locations: a city move in Zurich needs more planning, which is why we break it down into ten steps.
For a narrow stairwell or difficult access we come round; where access is easy, a video is often enough. Within 24 hours you have our quote for your Zurich move.
For the removal van, we apply for the appropriate day permit or special permit from the city's Dienstabteilung Verkehr (traffic department); the city bills the fee for this directly to you.
We bring free packing material for your city flat about two to three weeks in advance, matched to the number of rooms and the amount of household goods.
We take tram tracks, one-way streets and rush hours into account when planning the route, so that the van is at the approved stopping point on time.
Without a lift, steps, banisters and flat doors are padded; in a new build the lift car is protected too, and floor protection covers all walkways.
If a wardrobe will not go round the bends in an old-town or hillside house, we use the furniture lift if needed and bring it out via a window or balcony.
We relocate workstations, laboratories and server rooms as an IT and laboratory move at times when your business is closed; files follow in an orderly archive move.
At the destination, our carpenters reassemble beds, wardrobes and shelves, whether the new address is in Oerlikon, Wiedikon or outside the city.
The Mobiler Recyclinghof (mobile recycling centre) accepts individual items, metal or electrical appliances when it stops in your neighbourhood; we drive whole loads of furniture away for proper disposal.
At the end, you check the rooms with us; we pack up protective blankets and film, and rearrange the last pieces of furniture as you wish.
In Zurich, the distance between the front door and the removal van often determines how long a move takes: narrow streets, blue parking zones, tram lines and older buildings without a lift. That is why we clarify access, floors and parking during the survey and, on request, arrange the no-parking zone with the responsible municipality.
Our headquarters are at Hertistrasse 29 in Wallisellen, right on the city boundary. From here we can quickly reach all city districts and the municipalities around Zurich.
Anyone moving to a municipality in the canton of Zurich must register within 14 days – in the city of Zurich online via eUmzug, provided your previous municipality participates. You must also report your new address for your vehicle registration and driving licence to the road traffic office within 14 days. You do not need to inform the radio and TV fee agency (Serafe) yourself; it takes the data from the residents' registration office.
For 2026, the total tax rate excluding church tax in Zurich is 119 %. Zurich has its own parliament, the Gemeinderat (city council).
Legislature: Gemeinderat (municipal council)
Day and special permits are issued by the Bewilligungsstelle der Dienstabteilung Verkehr at Mühlegasse 18. We apply there for the permit for your removal van free of charge, whether in the blue zone or in Kreis 1; the city bills the fee to you.
Responsible authority in Zurich: city police. Lead time according to the city: at least 7 working days (blue zone) or 3 working days (white zone) in advance. Fee according to the city: approx. CHF 120.– to 170.– for 1–2 parking spaces, max. 1 day. Applications can be made online.
We take whole loads of furniture with us during the move, for CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. Small quantities of bulky items, metal or electrical appliances can also go, without a car, to the Mobiler Recyclinghof of Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich in your neighbourhood.
With our moving service, you don't need to: we take it away directly during the move – CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. View disposal
Our base in Wallisellen is right on the city boundary, around 6 km from Zurich as the crow flies, so the journey hardly affects an invoice based on working time. What counts far more is the distance between the front door and the removal van: narrow streets, tram lines, the Blaue Zone (blue zone with time-limited parking) and old buildings without a lift, for example in the Niederdorf in Kreis 1 (district 1). The calculator above shows the guide price with a 20% new-customer discount, and a cost ceiling is available on request.
| Apartment Size | Example price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 560.–Zürich → Zollikon, approx. 5 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 2 – 2.5 rooms | from CHF 880.–Zürich → Kilchberg, approx. 6 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 3 – 3.5 rooms | from CHF 1'020.–Zürich → Wallisellen, approx. 6 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 4 – 4.5 rooms | from CHF 1'530.–Zürich → Wettswil am Albis, approx. 6 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 5 – 5.5 rooms | from CHF 1'840.–Zürich → Dübendorf, approx. 6 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 6 – 6.5 rooms | from CHF 2'050.–Zürich → Uitikon, approx. 7 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
All prices include insurance and exclude 8.1% VAT. Guide values are based on average effort; the exact amount is determined during the free on-site survey and invoiced according to actual working time, including travel to and from the site.

More than 5,000 people per square kilometre live in Switzerland's largest city. Where so many people live close together, we fix the stopping point, parking permit and carrying route bindingly before every move.
In the well-preserved medieval old town on both sides of the Limmat, we clarify during the survey how close the van can get, how long the carrying route will be and whether a furniture lift can take the strain off the stairwell.
On the slopes of the Zürichberg to the east and the Uetliberg to the west, we check the gradient, turning options and distance to the front door before the vehicle size is decided. For steep access, a furniture lift is added if needed.
On streets and squares in the blue zone, parking is time-limited on weekdays. We therefore clarify before the appointment whether a day permit is sufficient for the removal van or a reserved stopping point is needed.
In Zurich, parking cards, day permits and special permits are issued by the Bewilligungsstelle der Dienstabteilung Verkehr (permits office of the traffic department) at Mühlegasse 18. We apply there for the right permit for your moving day, and the city bills the fee directly to you.
You can drop off bulky items, metal and electrical appliances without a car at the Mobiler Recyclinghof run by Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich (the city's waste and recycling service) right in your neighbourhood. We take care of whole loads of furniture and dispose of them properly for CHF 65.– per m³.
Major banks such as UBS and Zürcher Kantonalbank, insurers such as Swiss Re, as well as ETH and the University of Zurich are based here. For laboratories and server rooms, there is our IT and laboratory relocation service; for offices and files, the business and archive move outside working hours.

We handle moves in all municipalities around Zurich. You will find local information on the respective pages:
Also in the neighbouring cantons:
Each town has its own page with a local profile, the municipality’s registration deadlines, guide prices and neighbouring municipalities.
At Swiss Umzüge, we work in accordance with the General Moving Conditions of the ASTAG Furniture Transport Group – the industry association of the Swiss commercial vehicle sector. These conditions clearly set out the rights and obligations of both parties, from the quote to the reporting of damage.
Questions about your quote, your contract or our ASTAG standards? Our customer service is always there for you. Get in touch or 044 589 67 77.
The canton of Zurich borders Germany. We also move you there and to other European countries – with an inventory list for customs and end-of-tenancy cleaning in Switzerland.
Someone from our cleaning team stands beside you at the inspection. If the property management finds limescale, dust or stains, it is fixed on the spot, with no additional invoice. That way, the tenancy of your old Zurich flat ends with a single handover appointment.
We do, for both addresses, with the Bewilligungsstelle der Dienstabteilung Verkehr. Each address receives its own permit, and the city bills the fees directly to you. If the destination is outside the city, for example in Dübendorf or Zollikon, we submit the second application to the municipality there.
From CHF 250.–; in an old building without a lift, the floor is what counts most. Our porters bring the padded instrument down step by step; if a bend is too tight, we switch to the furniture lift. We set the price after looking at the stairwell.
Directly in the room written on the box. So label your boxes with the destination room, such as kitchen or children's room, and hang a simple plan on the door of the new flat. We position furniture according to your instructions so that nothing has to be carried twice.
At the swap point of the Mobiler Recyclinghof run by Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich, when it stops in your neighbourhood. Everyday items in good condition can be dropped off there free of charge and taken by others. Furniture and larger quantities left over we take away on moving day for proper disposal.
For small jobs such as a room in a shared flat, a studio or a few pieces of furniture from Wipkingen to Oerlikon. After the minimum of three hours, we charge in 15-minute increments, not per hour or part thereof. Short city moves thus stay affordable.
The city's personal waste calendar shows this; you create it for your street and house number and can import it into your digital calendar. The Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich app also sends you reminder notifications. Plan your decluttering so that one stop falls before moving day, and we will take care of the rest.
Everything, if you like: kitchen, bathroom, wardrobes, books and decorations. We bring the materials, protect fragile items individually and label every box with the room in the new Zurich flat. You only decide what comes along and what stays behind.
We first plan with you which furniture will fit into the often smaller retirement flat, and set it up there so that familiar pieces find their place again. Our team handles packing, carrying and assembly; anything left over we take away for disposal on request.
