Consequently, to provide you with a more precise and personalized response, we offer the services of our online rate simulator.

Moving: why hire a professional?
The vast majority of the many individuals who move each year prefer to manage on their own, with the aim, in particular, of saving money. However, calling on a moving professional is not such an expensive operation in view of its many advantages. Indeed, moving alone is possible, but you have to mobilize arms among your relatives, take care of packing your belongings then unpacking them on the spot, dismantling then reassembling the furniture, loading then unloading everything, renting a transport vehicle, to carry out all the necessary administrative procedures, etc. Moving alone therefore costs a little less, but it takes a lot of time and generates a lot of stress.
Calling on a professional is the solution that seems to us the most suitable. For what ? Quite simply for the many advantages it has.
- A stress-free move: entrusting your move to a professional is a good way to move without stress. Indeed, this saves valuable time and discharges a whole range of obligations in this area.
- A tailor-made move: moving professionals offer tailor-made formulas that allow their customers to benefit from support adapted to their needs.
- A more or less complete service: each professional offers a range of different services which are divided into several formulas. From the economic formula, the most basic, to the most high-end and complete, it is possible to choose its service according to its needs and its budget.
- Competent professionals: Moving professionals are experts with rich experience and professional equipment. They are competent to quickly organize a move in optimal conditions.
- Suitable equipment: moving professionals provide and use quality professional equipment adapted to the needs of their customers. A good way to move more serenely.
- Quality advice: in addition to their action, the moving pros provide very useful advice to their customers. A real plus for moving in complete peace of mind!
How to calculate the cost of a move?
A move is a costly operation whose price can be assessed taking into account multiple factors. It is on these criteria in particular that the simulator is based to establish a tariff average.
- The volume to be moved: the volume to be moved is one of the main criteria which help to define the price of the intervention. Indeed, it is this volume that will determine the time to be devoted to the service, the personnel to be solicited, the type of vehicle to be used, the equipment to be mobilized, etc. On average, to get an idea of the volume to be moved, it is considered that the surface area of the accommodation should be divided by 2.5. For example, for a dwelling of 80 m², it takes about 32 m3 volume to move.
- The distance to go: the greater the distance between the old and the new accommodation, the higher the price of the move will be. For what ? Because long-distance travel mobilizes staff over a longer period of time and leads to additional transport costs (fuel, tolls, etc.).
- The chosen formula: as we have said, professional movers offer several categories of formulas to their customers. Broadly speaking, there are three categories:
- the economic formulabasic, which includes only the loading, transport and unloading of belongings;
- the standard formulaintermediary, which includes other services such as the assembly and disassembly of furniture in particular;
- the comfort formula, top of the range, is the most complete. The professional is in charge of the whole operation or almost, including, very often, the administrative procedures related to it.
- Possible constraints: some moves are accompanied by constraints, such as complex access, the impossibility of nearby parking, the transport of imposing, very heavy or precious furniture, works of art, etc.
- The date of the intervention: the majority of moves are concentrated in the summer period, between June and September, and during weekends. These periods are therefore the most expensive. To reduce costs, moving out of season and during the week is the best solution.
- The options: if you have to take out some additional options such as furniture storage, specific insurance for valuables or other, an additional cost will be expected.
