Moving in Maastricht: what we take into account
The centre on both sides of the Maas is medieval and largely car-free, with loading windows and bollards. In the Jekerkwartier and around the Vrijthof the houses are tall and narrow with staircases to match, and the streets take a box truck at best. We plan the loading around the window your street has.
Across the river in Wyck and Ceramique the picture changes: newer apartment buildings with lifts and a loading bay, and wider streets. In Sint Pieter and on the slopes the houses are larger, with a driveway but also a gradient that a moving lift has to be set up for carefully.
How long does a move in Maastricht take?
A move in Maastricht usually takes 6 to 8 hours and is finished in one day. A flat in Ceramique with a lift is done in five hours; a narrow house in the Jekerkwartier takes a full day.
Because you pay for the hours actually worked, the duration is the price. That is why your advisor checks the stairs, the lift and the parking during the free survey and gives you an estimate of the expected duration with your quote.
What does a move in Maastricht cost?
A move in Maastricht with Holland Movers usually costs between 1,000 and 2,000 euros. A studio can be less, a family house with packing more. The distance to Maastricht does not appear on your quote, so what remains is the access: the staircase, the lift and the loading window.
Below are five examples of moves we carry out in and around Maastricht, with the home, the team and the amount. They give you a better feel for the price than a calculator does.
| Example move | Home and access | Team and duration | Indication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio in the Jekerkwartier to a one-bedroom flat in Wyck | 40 m², third floor, narrow stairs, loading window | 2 movers, 4.5 hours | €780 |
| Two-bedroom flat in Ceramique to a flat in Randwyck | 75 m², lift and loading bay at both addresses | 3 movers, 5 hours | €1,050 |
| Narrow house near the Vrijthof to a family house in Sint Pieter | 105 m², three floors, moving lift | 4 movers, 8 hours | €1,750 |
| Family house in Maastricht to Amsterdam, full service with packing | 125 m², packed the day before | 4 movers, 2 days | €2,700 |
| Detached house in Maastricht to Belgium | 150 m², international, in our own vehicles | 4 movers, 2 days | €3,400 |
Recognise your own situation in one of these? Then that indication is close. Your advisor confirms the exact amount during the free survey.
Maastricht moving costs by type of home
These are the indications we work with. The duration determines the amount, so the floor you live on, the presence of a lift and the volume of your belongings weigh heavier than the number of kilometres.
| Type of home | Duration | Indication |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bedroom flat | 3 to 4 hours | €600 to €850 |
| Two-bedroom flat | 4 to 6 hours | €850 to €1,200 |
| Three-bedroom flat with lift | 6 to 8 hours | €1,200 to €1,700 |
| Family house | 7 to 9 hours | €1,500 to €2,000 |
| Detached house | from 8 hours | from €2,000 |
You pay no call-out charges and no weekend surcharge. Your advisor confirms the exact amount during the free survey, so nothing is added afterwards.
The free survey for your move in Maastricht
Every move starts with a free survey, at your home or online, with the advisor who stays your contact from the first call to the last box. Together you go through the rooms, the access and the date, and you receive a transparent, itemised quote with no hidden costs.
Because Maastricht is a distance from our depot, we do the survey online as often as at your home. That costs you nothing and gives us the same picture of the access.
Insured up to 2.5 million euros for your move in Maastricht
Your belongings are insured up to 2.5 million euros with no excess during the move. That cover applies as standard, you do not arrange or pay for it separately, and it is unique in the Dutch moving industry.
The people carrying your furniture are our own trained movers, not day labour hired for the occasion. They work with furniture blankets, edge protection and floor covering, and they are used to fragile items: artwork, a piano, a full display cabinet.
Full service moving in Maastricht
With full service you do not lift anything at all. We deliver the packing materials, pack every room and label the boxes per room, take apart what needs taking apart, transport it, rebuild it at your new address and unpack the boxes again. Your beds are made up and your kitchen is usable the same evening.
You can also choose parts of it. Many clients in Maastricht have us pack the kitchen and the fragile items and do the rest themselves. Our handyman service takes down a fitted wardrobe or remounts your TV on the day itself.
Temporary storage during your move in Maastricht
If the dates of your old and new home do not line up, we store your belongings in our own secure storage. Your inventory stays in the same crates and blankets it was loaded in, and the same team brings it to your new address when you are ready.
Useful for an international move, when the belongings leave before the new home abroad is ready. More about moving and storage.
Senior relocation in Maastricht
Moving to a smaller home or a care residence asks for a different pace. We work in the order that keeps the day calm: the bedroom and the bathroom first, so there is a made bed and a working bathroom before anything else is unpacked.
We hang the pictures back in the same arrangement, reconnect the television and take away what is not coming along. Family often lives elsewhere, so we keep one contact person informed throughout the day. See our senior relocation.
Moving with a moving lift in Maastricht
When a wardrobe or a sofa will not go down the stairs, we move it through the window with our own moving lift. You generally need one from the second floor upwards, or when large furniture cannot be manoeuvred safely through the stairwell.
In the Jekerkwartier and around the Vrijthof the stairwells are too narrow for anything larger than a chair. Your advisor measures the stairwell and the window frame during the survey and decides then whether the moving lift is needed, so it is planned in advance and included in the quote.
Packing service and moving boxes in Maastricht
You can rent boxes and packing materials from us, or have us pack everything. A two-person household needs around 30 to 40 boxes; a family house 60 or more. We deliver them before the move and collect them afterwards, so you are not left with a hallway full of cardboard.
Glassware, artwork and electronics go into materials made for them rather than into newspaper. More about our packing service.
How to request your move in Maastricht
There are two routes, and they are separate. Request a moving quote and you receive an indication the same day. Or book a free moving survey, at your home or online, and we go through everything with you first.
After that it is four steps: the survey, your itemised quote, the confirmation of the date, and the move itself. You keep the same advisor throughout, and changes to the date, the volume or the equipment are possible at any stage.
- A quote the same day.
- No call-out charges and no return charges.
- Insured up to 2.5 million euros with no excess.
- A personal moving advisor from start to finish.
- Very flexible in changing your moving day.
- No weekend surcharge.
Business moves in Maastricht
We move offices, laboratories, shops and hotels, usually outside opening hours so your business keeps running. In Maastricht that often means a shop or a practice in the car-free centre, where we can only load within the window.
You get one project contact, a floor plan per workstation and labelled crates, so your people can start working again the next morning. More on business relocation.
Why clients in Maastricht choose Holland Movers
Because we are flexible where it counts and fixed where it matters. The moving date, the volume of your belongings and the equipment can change at any stage of the relocation. The insurance cover, the absence of call-out charges and the team you were promised do not.
Holland Movers is rated 4.6 out of 5 based on more than 650 Google reviews, and has been moving households since 1973. You can read a selection of those reviews higher up this page.
International moving from and to Maastricht
As international movers we carry out around 400 moves a year, almost all of them within Europe and all of them in our own vehicles. Your belongings are never transferred into a container or handed to a foreign partner along the way: the team that loads in Maastricht also unloads.
An international move from Maastricht starts at around 3,000 euros and is quoted as a fixed price, because the route and the volume are known in advance. Common destinations are moving to Germany, moving to Belgium and moving to France.
Moving within Maastricht
A large share of our work here is people moving from one part of Maastricht to another. Within the town the distance is never the problem: the stairs, the door widths and where the truck can stand are.
A flat in Wyck to a house in Sint Pieter, or a narrow house in the centre to newer housing in Ceramique. We plan a local move around exactly those points, which is why the survey looks at the access before it looks at anything else.
Moving to Maastricht as an expat
Maastricht University is one of the most international in the Netherlands, and the city sits within half an hour of both Belgium and Germany. That shows in our work here: a large share of the moves are staff and students arriving from abroad, and cross-border moves to Liege, Aachen and Hasselt.
Register with the municipality
You must register your new address with the municipality. You can do so from four weeks before your moving date and no later than five days after. Register later and the municipality uses the date of your notification as your official moving date, which can affect your benefits, your local taxes and your parking permit. Municipalities may also impose a fine of up to 325 euros.
Moving to the Netherlands for the first time and staying longer than four months? Then you register in the Personal Records Database and receive your citizen service number, the BSN. Staying for less than four months? Then you can request a BSN through the Non-residents Records Database instead. Bring a valid passport and a rental or purchase contract. If you are moving in with someone, you also need a signed consent form from the main occupant.
Already living in the Netherlands and moving again?
If you move to a different municipality, you only register with the new one: it automatically deregisters you from the old one. You never have to deregister yourself, unless you are leaving the country. We handle these moves in the same way as any other, with no call-out charges and no return charges wherever in the Netherlands you go. Full details are on our page about change of address.
Moving from Maastricht to another city?
Then the distance is included in the calculation, but you still pay no call-out charges and no return charges. The routes we drive most from Maastricht are to moving company Eindhoven, moving company Tilburg, moving company Nijmegen, moving company Utrecht and moving company Amsterdam.

Neighbourhoods and access in Maastricht
Maastricht has three kinds of address, split by the river and by the age of the building.
The medieval centre and the Jekerkwartier
Tall, narrow houses with steep staircases, in car-free streets with loading windows and bollards. The moving lift is standard here, and the loading window decides when we can work at all.
Wyck, Ceramique and Randwyck
Newer apartment buildings with lifts and, in most blocks, a loading bay. The shortest days, provided the lift is reserved in advance.
Sint Pieter and the slopes
Larger houses with a driveway. Easy access, more volume, and a gradient that we take into account when the moving lift has to be set up.
Moving service Maastricht
Private relocation
Every move is different, so we plan yours around your home rather than around a standard package. From a studio to a family house, our team goes through the rooms, the access and the date with you in advance, and the same crew carries out the move from the first box to the last screw.
International moving
We carry out around 400 international moves a year, almost all of them within Europe. Your belongings travel in our own vehicles and are never transferred into a container or handed to a foreign partner along the way, so the team that loads in Maastricht is the team that unloads at your new address.
Handyman service
A fitted wardrobe that has to come apart, a window frame that has to come out, a television that needs remounting. Our handyman does that on the moving day itself, so you are not waiting for a second appointment with someone else.
Moving lift
When a wardrobe or a sofa will not fit down the stairs, we move it through the window with our own moving lift. Your advisor measures the stairwell and the window frame during the survey and decides then whether the lift is needed, so it is planned rather than improvised.
Emergency relocation
A move at short notice because of a sale that went through quickly, a job that starts sooner than expected or a landlord who needs the keys. We keep capacity free for urgent work and can often start within a few days in Maastricht.
Business relocation
Offices, laboratories, shops and hotels, usually outside opening hours so your business keeps running. You get one project contact, a floor plan per workstation and labelled crates, so your people can start working again the next morning.
Storage
If the dates of your old and new address do not line up, we store your belongings in our own secure storage. Your inventory stays in the same crates and blankets it was loaded in, and the same team brings it over when you are ready.
Packing service
We pack every room for you, label the boxes per room and unpack them again at your new address. Glassware, artwork and electronics go into materials made for them rather than into newspaper. You can also have us pack only the kitchen and the fragile items.
Senior relocation
Moving to a smaller home or a care residence asks for a different pace. We start with the bedroom and the bathroom, so there is a made bed and a working bathroom before anything else is unpacked, and we hang the pictures back in the same arrangement.
House clearance
Clearing a home completely, after a move or after a death, with reuse and proper disposal of what is left behind. We hand the property over broom clean and provide the documentation the landlord or the estate agent asks for.
