Moving companies in Luxembourg

Verify the autorisation d'établissement and road-transport licence

A Luxembourg mover needs an autorisation d'établissement from the Ministère de l'Économie plus a road-transport operator licence issued by the Ministère de la Mobilité for any vehicle over 3.5 t.

If the company cannot produce the licence number on request, do not sign — uninsured transport leaves you with no recourse after damage.

Insurance must cover declared volume, not just third-party liability

Ask for the policy reference and the per-m³ indemnity ceiling in writing. Basic carrier liability often caps below market replacement value for electronics and furniture.

A quote that only lists 'civil liability insurance' without a per-m³ indemnity line is a quote that will not pay out a dropped TV.

Require a written quote with a full inventory

A proper survey lists rooms, volume in m³, fragile items, and access constraints. Phone-only quotes drift by 20–40% on move day when the crew sees the actual load.

Any mover who refuses an on-site or video survey before a mid-size move is protecting themselves against giving you a firm price — walk away.

Check FEDEMAC, FIDI, or ISO credentials for cross-border jobs

FEDEMAC and FIDI-FAIM membership require audited process and financial checks. For international moves, treat these accreditations as baseline, not bonus.

How much does a local studio move cost?

A local studio or 1-bedroom move inside Luxembourg typically costs €350–€700 for a half-day crew of two movers with a small truck. The low end assumes ground-floor or lift access at both ends and no packing service; the high end factors in stairs, fragile items, or weekend scheduling. Ask for the quote to itemise labour, truck, and parking permits separately so you can compare like-for-like across movers.

How much for a 2-bedroom move in Luxembourg?

Budget €800–€1,600 for a local 2-bedroom move with a crew of two or three movers over 4–6 hours, covering 20–35 m³ of goods. Prices rise with stairs, narrow access streets, and same-day end-of-lease cleaning coordination. If you want packing included, add 30–50% on top of the base quote, and expect the mover to supply boxes and paper as part of that line.

What does a cross-border move to Belgium or France cost?

A 3-bedroom move to a destination within roughly 300 km — Arlon, Liège, Trier, Metz, or Thionville — usually falls between €1,500 and €3,500. The quote should spell out fuel, tolls, driver hours, and any overnight rest for the crew. If the mover proposes groupage (sharing a truck with another move), prices can drop 20–30% but the delivery date becomes a window, not a fixed day.

How much does full packing add?

Full packing and unpacking typically adds 30–50% on top of the base move. The line should include materials (boxes, paper, tape, blankets), labour for packing the day before, and unpacking at destination if you opted in. For fragile-heavy loads — glassware collection, art, designer lighting — ask for a per-item insurance rider separate from the volume cover.
