What makes your private move with us easy to plan
At Swiss Umzüge, private moves are at the heart of what we offer. Whether you are moving within Switzerland or planning an international move, we make the process as simple and smooth as possible.
- An initial consultation instead of a standard form: We look at your apartment on site or by video call and record the actual volume in cubic metres – rather than calculating with rough per-room flat rates.
- A team that knows the process: Electrical appliances are properly secured, delicate surfaces protected with blankets and bulky wardrobes dismantled on site if necessary.
- Pricing without additional charges: Written quote with all items listed – transport, packing materials, Furniture Lift or Move-Out Cleaning. If the scope stays the same, the price stays the same.
- For every living situation: From a studio in the same street to a detached house – for grand pianos, display cabinets or long distances, we plan in extra protection and time.
You can find practical tips on preparing in our Moving checklist. For moves abroad, the regulations of the Federal Office for Customs and Border Securityalso apply. For commercial moves, read more on our page about Corporate relocation.

I was very satisfied with the moving services and the cleaning work. The furniture was properly packed and handled with care. The subsequent cleaning was also carried out professionally, so the handover went through without any issues. What's more, all the staff were extremely friendly. I can only recommend the company.
