How to keep a small move affordable
- ✓ Pack everything before the movers arrive. In a small move, packing makes up a large share of the working time, so boxes that are ready noticeably lower the price.
- ✓ Take beds and shelves apart in advance and keep the screws in a bag.
- ✓ Choose a weekday in the middle of the month if you can. The turn of the month and the autumn student moves are the busiest times.
- ✓ Give the exact amount of belongings: how many boxes and which large pieces of furniture. A quote for a small move can be very accurate when the details are right.
- ✓ You can also help with carrying if the transport company allows it. Ask whether it lowers the price.
Student moving checklist
- ✓ Register your change of address. In Posti's online service you can notify both Posti and the Digital and Population Data Services Agency at the same time.
- ✓ Move or cancel your electricity contract and internet connection from your moving day.
- ✓ Give your new address to your school or university and to Kela if you receive student financial aid or housing allowance.
- ✓ Agree on handing over the keys and the final clean with your landlord.
- ✓ Update your home insurance to the new address.
Frequently asked questions
How much does moving a studio cost?
Using our price calculator formula, a local move from a studio of about 30 m² costs around 340–530 € and from a room in a shared flat 290–450 €. Packing in advance and a short carrying distance keep the price low.
Is it worth hiring movers for a small move?
If you don't have much and can find help carrying, renting a van may be enough. Movers are worth it when there's heavy furniture or floors without a lift, or when you don't want to spend your own time carrying. Comparing quotes shows you how big the price difference really is.
How long does a small move take?
A local move from a studio that is already packed typically takes a few hours. Floors without a lift and a long carrying distance make it take longer.
Can I get quotes even if I don't have much to move?
Yes. A quote request is free and there's no minimum amount. If you only have a few pieces of furniture, choose a delivery request.
