Furniture Transport and Small Moves in Budapest

How much does furniture transport in Budapest cost?

For transporting a few pieces of furniture, the 20 m³ truck + 2 movers package is suitable: HUF 18,000 base fee + HUF 18,000/hour, with a minimum of 2 hours of work; call-out is free in Budapest. In some cases we work with a fixed amount. The full price list can be found on the moving prices page.

All prices shown are net amounts and do not include VAT at the applicable rate.

Small moves: one item, one room, one studio flat

We don't only move whole flats. A small move can be a studio or rented flat with a few pieces of furniture, a dismantled bed and a few boxes, a single heavy or bulky item (fridge, washing machine, sofa, wardrobe), or new furniture brought home from the shop. Our smallest package is the right fit for these: a 20 m³ truck with 2 movers.

The minimum charge is the base fee plus 2 hours of labour, i.e. HUF 54,000, which is typically enough to move one or two pieces of furniture or a studio flat within Budapest. For a simple task that is easy to assess, we can also give a fixed price.

Van rental or a mover? One person can't carry a fridge or a wardrobe down from the third floor. With us, the package includes two experienced movers, protective film and blankets for the furniture, secure strapping in the truck, full liability insurance and, if needed, dismantling and reassembly of the furniture.

We also take on small jobs like these:

• Moving a studio, rented flat or student flat with a few boxes and pieces of furniture.
• Moving furniture within a building, rearranging, carrying furniture between floors.
• Single pieces of furniture to the countryside, if the destination is on our route.

For small jobs we can also do the survey by video call and send you a written quote. We also work in the evening, at weekends and on public holidays, at no extra charge.

Do you also transport a single piece of furniture?

Yes. We transport even a single armchair, sofa, fridge or wardrobe, within Budapest and to the rest of Hungary, not just complete household or office moves. Home delivery from the shop and assembly of newly purchased furniture are also part of our service.

What happens if the furniture does not fit through the door?

In that case we work with an external furniture hoist, with which the furniture can be lowered or lifted through the window; if necessary, we disassemble the furniture professionally and reassemble it at the new location.

Removal of used furniture: after a sale or when disposing of it

With used furniture, two completely different tasks tend to come up, and we handle both.

• Delivering sold furniture to the buyer: if you sold a wardrobe, sofa or dining set through a classified ad, we deliver it to the address and carry it up. This is regular furniture transport, charged at the hourly rate.
• Taking away furniture you no longer need: if nobody needs the furniture any more, that is not furniture transport but junk removal. In that case we take it to an official waste processing centre. If you would like to give still usable furniture to a charity and have arranged the handover with them in advance, we are happy to deliver it there. Prices: junk removal prices.

Both can be done in one trip: we carry the new furniture up and take the old away at the same time. Please mention this at the survey, because we choose the size of the truck accordingly.

Furniture transport prices: a single item, one room, a whole apartment

Furniture transport uses the same hourly rate system as moving. The minimum charge is the base fee plus 2 hours of labour; after that, the actual working time counts until unloading is complete. There is no call-out or mileage fee within Budapest.

The table shows the 2-hour minimum (base fee + 2 hours), not the final total: depending on the floor, lift and parking distance, it may take more hours. Pianos and safes are not included in the base fee. Full price list: moving prices.

What fits in a 20 m³ and a 40 m³ truck?

A 20 m³ truck holds the furnishings of a studio or a smaller one- or two-room apartment, i.e. a wardrobe, bed, sofa, dining set, fridge, washing machine and a few dozen boxes. A 40 m³ truck carries the furniture of a large apartment or a family house in a single trip, including the cellar and garden furniture.

If you are not sure about the quantity, don't guess: we assess it at the free on-site survey or by video call, and we recommend the truck size and crew size. A truck that is too small means two trips, which means more working hours.

Furniture transport in Budapest, the agglomeration and the rest of Hungary

We deliver in all 23 districts of Budapest with no call-out fee. We also serve the agglomeration from our base in Érd (moving in Érd); there, the base fee is quoted once we know the exact addresses. We also transport furniture to and from the countryside: the hourly rate stays the same, and the base fee depends on the distance and road tolls; details on the countryside moving page.

We can also give a quote for one or two pieces of furniture going abroad, under the terms of our international moving service, at a fixed price.

How do we transport furniture so it does not get damaged?

We protect furniture with blankets and foil and secure it in the cargo area; wardrobes and chests of drawers stand on their base, not on their side. Fridges are transported upright, and washing machine drums are secured.

The crew always brings tools; you do not need to provide anything for disassembly and reassembly. We attach the screws of disassembled furniture to the piece in a bag and reassemble it in the same order we took it apart.

If damage does occur during transport, in the case of major damage we record it in a report on site; the foreman investigates it on the spot, and if it is clear that we caused it, in the case of minor damage we aim to settle it there and then. We work with full liability insurance.
