Quote reading guide Europe
A quote for a european removal consists of several elements, such as packing, disassembling, loading, transport, storage, unloading and insurance. All of these will be addressed below.
Packing and disassembling
Packing and disassembling cost a lot of time and consequently also
a lot of money. Despite the cost you will spare yourself a lot of work,
time and possible damage. We recommend that you leave the packing of fragile
and valuable goods to professional movers. Especially in case of an removal
whereby transport in a container on a ship is more prone to movement than
in a removal van. This also holds good for the disassembling of large items
of furniture. By allowing your mover to do this the risk of damage is minimised.
It is of course cheaper to do it yourself (see
movingtips). The cost of packing and disassembling are based on an hourly
rate.
Loading
The loading of your household goods into the removal van or crates
takes a lot of time. In some circumstances a removal-lift is needed. The
cost of loading is made up by the number of hours required, the accessibility
of your house, the number of floors in your house, special circumstances
and of course the number of cubic meters involved.
Transport
The transport to the storage facility of your mover takes place by removal van. Of
course you will be obliged to pay more for a removal to the other side of the continent
than to a neighbouring country. By combining moves a specialised international mover can
offer you lower prices. For a European move the number of cubic meters, the distance and
the possibilities of combining moves are the most important factors in the amount you will
eventually be requested to pay.
Storage
It is possible to make use of temporary storage at the facilities of the
international mover. This can save you a lot of time and money. For storage
you pay storage fee, handling fee and probably insurance. Cost for storage is
based on the number of cubic meters and length of period of storage. Handling
is based on number of cubic meters. Insurance fee is based on the value you
specify to your mover.
Unloading
The unloading is most often done by a local mover in country of destination.
The international mover will use his contacts, to make sure you get the best quality
mover. During unloading the distance from airfield or harbour is constitutes part of
the cost. Also important is the way in which your place of residence can be reached.
(driveway, narrow streets, elevator, etc.)
Insurance
Your household goods are always covered by the movers' own third party insurance. For this
no premium is charged. We advise you to upgrade this insurance to cover all-risks. The premium
involved consists of a fixed amount and a percentage of the value of the goods to be moved.
