A stress-free private move
What really takes time in a private move – and how we take it off your hands
Carrying is rarely the problem. The time goes on all the little things around it: organising boxes, dismantling furniture, securing a parking space for the removal van, handing over the old apartment clean – and on top of that, informing the municipality, the post office, insurers and subscriptions of your new address.
With Swiss Umzüge you get one contact person and one quote. We plan moving day with you, bring protective material and, on request, take care of end-of-tenancy cleaning, disposal and interim storage. For the paperwork there is our customer portal.
- One appointment, one team: Packing, transport, furniture assembly and, on request, end-of-tenancy cleaning from a single source.
- Parking right outside: We arrange the temporary no-parking zone with the responsible municipality, provided we are asked in good time.
- Free boxes: We lend you sturdy, reusable moving boxes free of charge.
- Insured with no excess: Transport insurance up to CHF 100'000.– per van, business liability insurance up to CHF 5 million.
Private moving costs

For a private move, what matters most is the amount of furniture and boxes, the floors and the distance to the removal van. The calculator above asks exactly that and shows you a guide price in 2 minutes – with a 20% new-customer discount. The price becomes binding after the free on-site survey.
- Same price Mon–Sat: no Saturday surcharge.
- Cost ceiling or fixed price: on request after the on-site survey.
- Additional services: Disposal from CHF 65.– per m³, storage from CHF 15.– per m³ per month.

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.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about private moves
Who needs to be at the flat on the day of a home move?
You yourself or someone you trust who has a key. At the start, this person shows the team what is coming along and what stays, and answers questions about which room things go into at the new address. Also keep your phone handy in case something changes at short notice on moving day.
How early do the moving boxes arrive for a home move, and who collects them?
We deliver boxes and packing materials 2–3 weeks before the date, so you can pack at your own pace. After the move we collect the empty boxes from you again. That means you neither have to find cardboard boxes nor dispose of waste paper, and you can use the boxes right up to the end.
Where is the best place to start decluttering before moving house?
In the cellar, attic and storage rooms, because that is where most of the things you no longer need are kept. Then move on to wardrobes and bookshelves. Make three piles: keep, give away, dispose of. The less that comes along, the shorter your moving day.
When should I book my home removal?
As soon as your notice and move-in date are fixed. Dates around the end of the month are in particularly high demand, because that is when many tenancies change. If you book early, you can choose your date freely and have enough time for the viewing, packing and reserving the parking space.
What should go in the first-night box when moving house?
Everything you need on the first evening and the next morning: bed linen, towels, toiletries, medication, chargers, a few dishes, coffee and snacks. Pack this box last and take it with you yourself, so you do not have to search through lots of cartons.
Why should I photograph meter readings and the flat's condition when moving?
Because photos provide clarity for utility bills and at the flat handover. Record the electricity meter and, if applicable, the water meter on the day you move out, as well as any scratches or defects in the new flat when you move in. That way you can later prove beyond doubt what was already there before you moved in or out.
