Moving in Amsterdam

We know Amsterdam, from the Centrum to IJburg

A move in Amsterdam often asks for more than lifting alone: a permit, reserved parking bays or a bollard that has to come out of the way. We take that paperwork off your hands. After all, we have been moving people here since 1927.

  1. Quays and bridgesthe city of Amsterdam applies a maximum vehicle weight on quays and bridges; our adviser checks beforehand whether the van can stand on your canal, and if not a smaller van comes instead
  2. Reserving parking baysif you want bays kept free outside the door, in Amsterdam that has to be applied for at least 6 working days in advance; we make that application for you, and if a car is parked there on the day itself, the council tows it away at no cost
  3. Living high up or in tight spacesthe stairs in a canal house or a walk-up flat are often too narrow for a sofa or a wardrobe; our moving lift reaches the 8th floor and lifts 400 kilos, through the window or the balcony as well
  4. Change of addressyou tell the council about your move from 4 weeks beforehand; we point it out to you in good time

On 24 December the men were at our door. What absolute stars. Polite, cheerful and blisteringly quick. Within a few hours the old house was empty and the new house was full. Highly recommended!!

Hugely impressed with the movers. Thanks to them we had a wonderfully smooth, stress-free move. Unbelievably hard workers. Many thanks!
Mirte van Loenenvia Google
Kind, hard-working, helpful and on time.
M.via Klantenvertellen
Dino, Maks and Storm are three genuinely cool guys. They arrived in the morning exactly at the agreed time. They handled everything quickly but very gently, taking real care of our boxes, monitors and appliances.
R.via Klantenvertellen
Everything went as agreed. Good communication beforehand and the move itself went well too. The movers bring extra packing material with them, also for fragile things such as a television and monitors.

How it works

Moved without worry in Amsterdam, in 4 steps.

Call, message or form

One message is enough. Send a few photos of your household contents on WhatsApp and you get a price indication in no time. Calling or filling in the form works just as well, of course.

Free home survey

Our relocation adviser calls round, estimates the number of cubic metres and discusses which work you want done. That takes about half an hour and costs nothing, with no obligation.

Quote within one working day

Moving day

The boxes arrive well in advance, so you can pack at your own pace. On the day itself our team is at your door. We lift, we drive and we put everything down where it belongs.

Experienced movers

Finishing up

Furniture is put back together and we simply collect the boxes later. If something does get damaged after all, we sort it out properly. Our good name means a lot to us.

Our story

At home in Amsterdam for generations.

Feitsma comes from Haarlem, but Amsterdam has been our second home for almost a hundred years. We have been moving families and businesses here since 1927, and there is hardly a street in Amsterdam where a Feitsma van has never stood. Many of our movers were born and raised there.

Our approach

From packing to assembly, we arrange it in Amsterdam.

An average family has about 120 boxes to pack. Leave that to us and it is usually done within one day. We pack, lift, drive and put your furniture back together in the new home, even when the stairs are narrow and the van has to stand on the canal side. Dismantling and assembly are part of the quote, often cheaper than you think.

Frequently asked questions

What customers usually ask us first

What does a move in Amsterdam cost?

That differs per Amsterdam address: how much you take with you, which floor you live on, whether the stairs are narrow and whether a permit or reserved parking bays are needed. That is why we do not work with a price list, but with a quote made to measure. Our adviser calls round at no cost and within one working day you have a detailed price. Curious about the range? You will find it at what a move costs, and the calculator works out your own situation.

Comparing several moving companies in Amsterdam? Then look closely at what is included in the price. With us, moving boxes, insurance and fixed rates are standard, so one moving day is not dearer than another.

Do I need a permit for my move in Amsterdam?

Often yes, but not always. It depends on the street, the parking bays and whether the road has to be closed off. A permit is expensive, so at the free survey our relocation adviser first judges whether it is really needed.

If it is, we apply for the permit or the parking bays for you at the city of Amsterdam. The same goes for a moving lift that has to stand on the road: we file that application for you as well and pass on the council fees.

Are my things insured during the move?

Yes. Your household contents and both your old and your new home are insured up to € 100,000. A scratch on the new floor falls under that too.

We are an Erkende Verhuizer and Kiwa certified to ISO 9001.

Do I get moving boxes from you?

Yes, and you pay nothing for them. Our sturdy moving boxes are inside your home well in advance, with packing paper for breakable things and stickers to label everything. An average family fills about 120.

Once everything is unpacked, we simply collect the boxes again.

Do you provide a complete moving service in Amsterdam, including packing?

Yes. Our moving service in Amsterdam is complete: we pack for you, lift, drive and put your furniture back together in the new home. Temporary storage in our own warehouse is possible too, for instance if your new home is not ready yet.

Dismantling and assembly are part of the quote, often cheaper than you think.

Which districts of Amsterdam do you come to?

All of Amsterdam: Centrum, Zuid, the Rivierenbuurt, Oost, Noord, West and IJburg. We also move you to or from Amsterdam, throughout our service area and internationally. Around the city that includes Amstelveen, Zaandam, Hoofddorp and Haarlem.

Not sure whether your address is included? Call 020 309 98 11 or send us a message, and you have a mover on the line straight away.
