Moving in Nijmegen: what we take into account
In Altrade and around the Valkhof the streets run up and down, and many houses have a flight of steps to the front door before you even start. That adds time, and it changes where the moving lift can safely stand. We look at the gradient during the survey, not on the day.
The rebuilt centre and Waalfront have newer apartment buildings with lifts and loading bays. Around the Radboud campus and in Lent, across the river, the housing is recent with wide streets and a driveway.
How long does a move in Nijmegen take?
A move in Nijmegen usually takes 5 to 8 hours and is finished in one day. A flat at Waalfront with a lift is done in five hours; a house in Altrade with steps and a slope takes considerably longer.
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 Nijmegen cost?
A move in Nijmegen with Holland Movers usually costs between 1,000 and 2,000 euros. A studio can be less, a family house with packing more. In Nijmegen the gradient and the steps to the door weigh on the duration, and therefore on the price.
Below are five examples of moves we carry out in and around Nijmegen, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Student room in the centre to a studio at Waalfront | 30 m², steps to the door, lift at the new address | 2 movers, 3.5 hours | €660 |
| Two-bedroom flat at Waalfront to a flat near the Radboud campus | 70 m², lift and loading bay at both addresses | 3 movers, 5 hours | €1,000 |
| House in Altrade to a family house in Lent | 105 m², slope and steps, moving lift | 4 movers, 7.5 hours | €1,600 |
| Family house in Nijmegen to Utrecht, full service with packing | 120 m², packed the day before | 4 movers, 2 days | €2,550 |
| Detached house in Lent to Germany | 145 m², international, in our own vehicles | 4 movers, 2 days | €3,300 |
Recognise your own situation in one of these? Then that indication is close. Your advisor confirms the exact amount during the free survey.
Nijmegen 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 Nijmegen
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.
In Nijmegen we specifically look at the approach to your door: the slope, the steps and where the truck can stand without blocking the street. That is where the hours go.
Insured up to 2.5 million euros for your move in Nijmegen
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 Nijmegen
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 Nijmegen 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 Nijmegen
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 when a university contract starts before the permanent home is free. More about moving and storage.
Senior relocation in Nijmegen
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 Nijmegen
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.
On a Nijmegen slope the lift needs a level, stable base, which is not available on every street. We check that in advance. 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 Nijmegen
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 Nijmegen
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 Nijmegen
We move offices, laboratories, shops and hotels, usually outside opening hours so your business keeps running. In Nijmegen that is often an office or a practice around the campus, where we work around access rules and lecture timetables.
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 Nijmegen 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 Nijmegen
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 Nijmegen also unloads.
An international move from Nijmegen 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 Nijmegen
A large share of our work here is people moving from one part of Nijmegen to another. Within the town the distance is never the problem: the stairs, the door widths and where the truck can stand are.
A student room in the centre to a flat at Waalfront, or a house in Altrade to newer housing in Lent. 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 Nijmegen as an expat
Radboud University and the medical centre bring a large international community to Nijmegen, and the German border is twenty minutes away. We move researchers and medical staff arriving for a few years, and a steady number of cross-border moves to the Kleve and Krefeld area.
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 Nijmegen 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 Nijmegen are to moving company Utrecht, moving company Tilburg, moving company Eindhoven, moving company Enschede and moving company Amsterdam.

Neighbourhoods and access in Nijmegen
Nijmegen has three kinds of address, and the hill is what separates them.
Altrade and the Valkhof area
Older houses on streets that climb, often with a flight of steps to the front door. The slope determines where the truck and the moving lift can stand, and it is the main reason a Nijmegen move takes longer than the same house elsewhere.
The rebuilt centre and Waalfront
Newer apartment buildings with lifts and loading bays. Level ground and the shortest days.
The Radboud campus and Lent
Recent housing with wide streets and a driveway. Easy access, more volume, and fixed contract dates around the university.
Moving service Nijmegen
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 Nijmegen 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 Nijmegen.
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.
What are the costs of moving to Nijmegen?
Moving costs vary depending on various factors such as the size of your current home, the number of boxes to be transported, the need for a moving lift, and the urgency of the move. At Holland Movers, we offer a no-obligation quote and a pre-move viewing to accurately estimate the cost of your move. We don’t charge any call-out fees.
How do I pay for the move to Nijmegen?
You can pay for your move by PIN after the end of each removal day. We will send you the invoice on Tuesday of the week following your move.
Where should I report my move in Nijmegen?
If you’re moving to Nijmegen from another place, including from abroad, you can report your move to the municipality of Nijmegen’s website. You should also inform your contacts, including your employer, bank, sports club, and healthcare providers, of your new address.
When will I receive my quote after requesting one?
We’ll send you a quote the same day if you request it before 5:00 PM.
Is there a fee for receiving a quote?
No, we don’t charge any fees for providing a quote.
How do I accept the quote?
You can accept the quote by email. A signature isn’t required.
When should I book my move to Nijmegen with you?
We recommend booking your move at least 6 to 8 weeks in advance to ensure availability.
Are my belongings insured during the move to Nijmegen?
At Holland Movers, we believe in transparent and affordable pricing, which is why we do not charge extra for weekend or holiday moves. You can choose a time that works best for you without incurring additional fees.
Are there any additional charges for moving on weekends?
