Building types and access in Amstelveen
Amstelveen is a town of gallery flats and family houses, and the two move very differently. In Groenelaan and Middenhoven the lift sets the pace of the whole day, and in many complexes it has to be reserved with the building manager weeks in advance. We measure the lift car during the survey and make that booking for you.
In Westwijk and Bovenkerk there is a driveway and the access is easy, but there are more belongings and usually a fixed completion date to work towards. Around Kronenburg and Uilenstede the volumes are smaller but the timing is tighter, because contracts start and end on fixed dates.
How long does a move in Amstelveen take?
A move in Amstelveen usually takes 5 to 7 hours and is finished in one day. A gallery flat with a working lift is quicker than a family house with stairs at both addresses, and the volume of your belongings does the rest.
Because you pay for the hours actually worked, the duration is the price. That is why your advisor checks the lift, the stairwell and the parking during the free survey and gives you an estimate of the expected duration with your quote.
What does a move in Amstelveen cost?
A move in Amstelveen with Holland Movers usually costs between 1,000 and 2,000 euros. A studio can be less, a family house with packing more. The amount depends on the volume of your belongings, the floor you live on, whether there is a lift and the services you add.
Below are five examples of moves we carry out in and around Amstelveen, with the home, the team and the amount.
| Example move | Home and access | Team and duration | Indication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio near Uilenstede to a one-bedroom flat in Elsrijk | 40 m², fourth floor, shared lift | 2 movers, 3.5 hours | €700 |
| Two-bedroom flat in Groenelaan to a family flat in Middenhoven | 75 m², gallery flat, lift reserved at both addresses | 3 movers, 5 hours | €1,050 |
| Family house in Westwijk to a family house in Bovenkerk | 115 m², driveway at both addresses | 3 movers, 6.5 hours | €1,350 |
| Family house in Amstelveen to Amsterdam Zuid, full service with packing | 125 m², packed the day before | 4 movers, 2 days | €2,650 |
| Detached house in Amstelveen to the United Kingdom | 150 m², international, in our own vehicles | 4 movers, 3 days | €4,100 |
Recognise your own situation in one of these? Then that indication is close. Your advisor confirms the exact amount during the free survey.
Amstelveen moving costs by type of home
These are the indications we work with. The duration determines the amount, so the floor you live on and the presence of a lift 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.
A free survey and one advisor throughout
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.
If you are being relocated by an employer, we can send the quote and the invoice straight to them and keep you out of the paperwork.
Cover up to 2.5 million euros, with no excess
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. 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 Amstelveen
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.
This is the option most international families choose, because it removes the part of the move you cannot do while you are still working. Our handyman service takes down a fitted wardrobe or remounts your TV on the day itself.
Temporary storage during your Amstelveen move
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.
That gap is common here, because a rental contract often ends before the new home is available. More about moving and storage.
Senior relocation in Amstelveen
Moving to a smaller flat 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 Amstelveen
When a wardrobe or a sofa will not fit into the lift or down the stairs, we move it through the window with our own moving lift. In the gallery flats around Groenelaan that is a regular part of the day rather than an exception.
Your advisor measures the lift car 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 Amstelveen
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.
Arranging your Amstelveen move step by step
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 Amstelveen: offices and international head offices
We move offices, shops and hotels, usually outside opening hours so your business keeps running. Amstelveen has a concentration of international head offices, which usually means working around building management rules and a fixed window in the evening or over a weekend.
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 international families in Amstelveen 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. You can read a selection of those reviews higher up this page.
International moving from and to Amstelveen
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 Amstelveen also unloads.
An international move from Amstelveen 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 from here are moving to Germany and moving to Belgium.
Moving within Amstelveen
A large share of our work here is people moving from one part of Amstelveen to another: a studio near Uilenstede to a flat in Elsrijk, a gallery flat in Groenelaan to a family house in Westwijk.
Within the town the distance is never the problem. The lift, the gallery and the reserved parking are. A move within Amstelveen usually takes five to seven hours and is finished in one day.
Moving to Amstelveen as an expat
Amstelveen has one of the largest international communities in the Netherlands, built around the international schools and the proximity to Schiphol and the Zuidas. We move families arriving from abroad, and just as often families moving on to a permanent home once they know they are staying.
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.
If you are moving to the Netherlands for the first time and will stay longer than four months, 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 for your new address. If you are moving in with someone, you also need a signed consent form from the main occupant with a copy of their ID.
Already living in the Netherlands and moving again?
Many internationals arrive in a temporary flat and move to a permanent home within a year or two. 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 Amstelveen 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 Amstelveen are to moving company Amsterdam, moving company Utrecht, moving company The Hague, moving company Haarlem and moving company Almere.

Neighbourhoods and building types in Amstelveen
Kronenburg, Uilenstede and the international schools
Around Kronenburg you find a concentration of internationals and student housing. Moves here are often smaller in volume but tighter in timing, because contracts start and end on fixed dates.
Groenelaan and Middenhoven
Gallery flats where the lift sets the pace of the whole day. Our advisor measures the lift car during the survey and arranges the lift reservation with the building manager, which in many Amstelveen complexes has to be booked weeks in advance.
Westwijk and Bovenkerk
Family houses with a driveway and wider streets. Access is easy, but there are more belongings and usually a fixed completion date to work towards.
Moving service Amstelveen
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 Amstelveen 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 Amstelveen.
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.
