Moving within Hungary
If you’ve decided to move to a quiet, rural town, we’re here to help.
For most people, moving into a new home comes with a lot of work and stress. With Moving Service Kft., moving becomes a simple and stress-free process from the planning stage to moving into your new apartment or house.

Additional information for moving within Hungary
Moving from Budapest to the countryside:
The hourly rate is applied to the total time between the start of the work, arrival and unloading, and then getting back to the administrative boundary of Budapest. The km charge is applied for the distance between the departure address – arrival address – and then back to administrative boundary of Budapest. After loading, the truck will start driving towards the destination and when leaving the Budapest sign, the odometer mileage will be recorded and the km driven after that will be added to the distance between the departure and the arrival address in the calculation. The same goes for the travel time. If there is more than one countryside arrival address, the km distance from the last arrival address will be used for the calculation by the Google Route Planner.
Moving from the countryside to Budapest:
There is a 1-hour initial charge for up to the administrative boundary of Budapest. The working time is counted from the time we leave the Budapest sign until the end of the last working hour. The km charge is also calculated based on the distance between the Budapest sign to the departure address, and then between the departure and arrival address.
Moving within two countryside locations:
There is a 1-hour initial charge for up to the administrative boundary of Budapest. The km charge and the working time are calculated from the time we leave the Budapest sign until we return to the administrative boundary of Budapest after the job.
Please note:
For work on public holidays, non-working days or at night (between 10 pm and 6 am), a 50% surcharge is applied to the loaders/packers. For moving within Budapest, the largest truck we use is 3.5 tons. The main reasons are access restrictions and difficult traffic and parking.
The initial charge applied in addition to the actual working time: the rate charged for 1 working hour and a km charge for 10 km.
The minimum charge payable for moves: the initial charge plus the fee for 2 working hours.
Movers only provided with no need for a truck:
If no truck is needed, we can provide a loading / packing / assembly staff at HUF 5,990 plus VAT / person / hour. The minimum fee charged: the initial charge plus the rate charged for 4 working hours. The initial charge applied within Budapest is the fee charged for 1 working hour.
Junk removal:
We can deliver your unwanted items to the Pusztazámor mine or to the ASA Gyáli garbage dump. Computer equipment and documents can be delivered to the premises of REISWOLF Budapest Adat- és Dokumentumkezelő Kft. on Illatos út.
The fee for the disposal of waste is calculated on the basis of the current prices of the service provider, which in all cases are payable in addition to our hourly rates and the km charge.
Excess weight charge:
Excess weight charge is levied for moving objects with a weight between 100 kg and 250 kg, varying depending on the weight and the floor to which it needs to be carried. The excess weight charge ranges from HUF 40,000 to HUF 80,000. The excess weight charge is payable in addition to our hourly rates. For over 250 kg weight items we will give you an individual price quote based on an initial survey.

In contrast, plastic bags are slipping, get stuck in the stair railing, get torn out… they are unsuitable for moving. But if you only have plastic bags, please choose stronger ones.

You don’t need to disassemble everything! Only furniture that cannot be carried through the door, in the staircase or cannot be moved in one piece due to its structure.

But of course you can also disassemble the furniture yourself in advance.
