What affects the price

The quote must describe the work actually required. Comparing only the final price is not enough if one proposal includes packing or assembly and another does not.

  • Furniture volume and number of packages.
  • Distance, floor levels, lifts and the route from the vehicle to the home.
  • Packing, dismantling, reassembly and furniture adaptation.
  • Dates, any storage and special handling requirements.

Parking and permits: a cost to clarify

Any occupation of public space depends on the work. Municipal charges and application management must be distinguished in the quote: there is no single amount applicable to every loading and unloading operation.

  • Check requirements at both addresses.
  • Clarify who submits applications and arranges the required signage.
  • Check any vehicle access restrictions and building rules.
05

Insurance and comparing offers

Ask what insurance covers the belongings and the work. Read the documents for cover limits, excesses, exclusions and declared value; do not assume the cover is unlimited.

  • Compare written proposals based on the same inventory.
  • Check inclusions, exclusions and any additional costs.
  • Check how changes and damage reports are handled.

Helpful answers

Before you move,
let’s make things clear.

What is the indicative cost of moving a one-bedroom flat in Milan?

The starting indication is €1,200, subject to confirmation based on volume, access and services. It is not a fixed price for every one-bedroom flat.

Is the furniture lift always included in the price?

This must be checked in the quote. The €400–600 indication is a guide and depends on the specific use of the vehicle with an operator.

Why is floor area not enough?

Transport is based on the actual volume of furniture and boxes. Access, distance, packing and assembly also affect the work.

How much does furniture storage cost?

The indicative starting price is around €200 per month, subject to the quantity of belongings, duration and service terms.

Do permits cost the same for everyone?

No. The charges applicable to the specific public space occupation must be distinguished from permit administration services, with each item shown in the quote.
