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.

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.

The move went perfectly. The team was upbeat, friendly and very careful. They also worked extremely efficiently, so they were even faster than originally planned. On top of that, the price was very good. I can warmly recommend Swiss Umzüge.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about student moves
What Does a Student Move Cost?
A room or studio from CHF 550.– including insurance, excluding VAT. Billing is based on actual working time, minimum duration 3 hours.
Can I help with the carrying myself?
Yes. If you pack your boxes yourself and have them ready, the working time is shorter – and so is the price.
Do I have to register as a weekly resident?
That depends on whether you are moving the centre of your life or moving in as a weekly resident. The residents' registration office of your new municipality can advise you; ch.ch provides an overview.
Do I get moving boxes?
Yes, our loan boxes are free of charge.
Do I have to inform Serafe?
No. The radio and TV licence fee office takes the address data directly from the residents' registration office.
