How to choose

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Read reviews from verified moves, not just star averages — Look for specifics — volume, destination, damage handling — in reviews. A five-star average built from 12 vague reviews is weaker than a 4.4 average from 180 detailed ones.
• Confirm the deposit and payment schedule in writing — Luxembourg movers typically take a 20–30% deposit at booking, the balance on completion. Full prepayment before loading is not market practice.

Frequently asked questions

• How much does it cost to hire a moving company?

  Prices for moving services can vary, but you might expect to pay between 300 to 800 EUR for a local move, depending on the size of your home and the distance. It's always a good idea to get a few quotes to compare.

• Do you cover nearby areas like Schuttrange?

  Yes, we cover nearby communes including Schuttrange and Weiler-la-Tour. You can find moving services that can assist you in those areas as well.

• Is a weekday move cheaper?

  Usually yes. Mid-month Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are the cheapest slots in Luxembourg — some movers discount 10–15% versus a Saturday at month-end. Office moves almost always happen over the weekend to avoid downtime, so the weekend premium is baked in; residential moves are the ones where the day-of-week choice pays off.

• 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.

• Do I have to handle customs paperwork myself?

  For non-EU moves, a FIDI-accredited mover prepares the inventory, the transfer-of-residence declaration, and any import permits through a partner at destination. Your job is to supply identity documents, a residence certificate, and sometimes a signed power of attorney. For intra-EU moves, no customs paperwork is required for personal effects.

• What if something is damaged during the move?

  Note every damaged item on the delivery slip before the crew leaves — claims made after signature without reserves are much harder to recover. Send a written notice with photos to the mover within three working days. The cargo insurance then triggers: the mover repairs, replaces, or pays the per-m³ indemnity, depending on the policy terms.

• How much deposit is normal?

  Most Luxembourg movers request 20–30% at booking, with the balance due on completion. Some also accept split payments on delivery day for large cross-border jobs. A request for full prepayment before the truck is loaded is not market practice and should be treated as a warning sign.
