How much does a move in Berlin cost? 2026 prices
Typical removal prices in Berlin by flat size, what really drives the cost, and how to save money without cutting corners in the wrong places.
The honest answer: the building matters more than the distance. A move from Wedding to Pankow can cost more than one to Potsdam – if the new flat is on the fifth floor with no lift.
Typical prices by flat size
| Flat | Within Berlin | Berlin ↔ Brandenburg |
|---|---|---|
| 1 room | €450–690 | €690–990 |
| 2 rooms | €750–1,050 | €1,050–1,500 |
| 3 rooms | €1,050–1,500 | €1,500–2,100 |
| 4 rooms | €1,500–2,100 | €2,100–2,900 |
What actually drives the price
- Floor and lift: every floor without a lift costs time and effort.
- Carrying distance: rear buildings (Hinterhaus), passageways, long corridors.
- Parking: without a no-parking zone (Halteverbotszone), things often have to be carried a long way.
- Extra services: packing, kitchen assembly, disposal.
- Date: the end of the month and Saturdays are in high demand.
How to save sensibly
- Declutter first – every box you don't move saves money.
- Pack yourself, but let professionals do the carrying.
- Choose a weekday or a mid-month date.
- Combine your move and clearance instead of hiring two companies.
