Perfekt Moving · No-parking zone

The truckparks rightat your door.

In Berlin, parking is often the biggest problem on moving day. The district's road traffic authority takes around four weeks on average to issue the permit, and the signs must be up three full days before the move. We apply, put up the signs, document everything and take them down again – from €89 per address.

  • Application at the district office – around 4 weeks ahead
  • Signs up 3 full days before, with a record
  • Authority fee and signs included

Perfekt Moving

What you need to know

The permit is issued by the road traffic authority (Straßenverkehrsbehörde) of the district office (Bezirksamt) where the zone will be. Moving from Kreuzberg to Pankow means two applications to two district offices. An informal application is enough; according to Berlin's official service portal, processing takes about four weeks on average. There's no Berlin-wide minimum deadline – some districts are quicker, but don't count on it.

The district office only issues the order, not the signs. They have to be put up by a company authorised to do so – with us, that's included. The signs must be up at least three full days before the move.

Deadlines

Counting back from moving day

This is how we plan every no-parking zone – separately for each address.

  1. 1Around four weeks before: application to the district's road traffic authority. We do it – for two districts we file two applications.
  2. 2Once the order is issued: the time window and length of the zone are fixed, and we plan the signs accordingly.
  3. 3At least three full days before the move: signs go up and we record when.
  4. 4Moving day: the truck stands right outside your door, not three streets away.
  5. 5Straight afterwards: we take the signs down again.

Parked cars

What happens to cars already parked in the zone

Often a car is already parked there before the signs go up. Germany's Federal Administrative Court ruled that the owners of such cars only have to pay the towing costs if the signs were put up at least three full days in advance – so towing at the owner's expense is possible from the fourth day at the earliest (judgment of 24 May 2018, 3 C 25.16). In that case, 72 hours wasn't enough.

That's why we put the signs up in good time and note in the setup record when they went up. So the deadline can be proven on moving day.

“Toller Service, wir hatten einen großen Massivholz-Schrank der entsorgt werden sollte. Die beiden Monteure haben den recht großen und schweren Schrank sehr professionell durch das enge Treppenhaus gezirkelt. Um Schaden und Dreck zu vermeiden, wurde auf teilweise zerschlagen des Schranks verzichtet, um die Wohnung zu schonen. Dafür wurde in Kauf genommen, den schweren Weg durchs Treppenhaus zu nehmen. Sehr nette, vorsichtige Mitarbeiter haben das zu einem fairen Preis geregelt, volle 5 Sterne von uns!”

“Ich bin rundum zufrieden mit dem Umzugsunternehmen! Das Team war sehr freundlich, zuverlässig und professionell. Der Umzug verlief schnell, reibungslos und sorgfältig. Alles wurde sicher transportiert. Klare Weiterempfehlung – jederzeit gerne wieder!”

“Nach einer guten Beratung, Bereitstellung der Umzug-Kartons hat er Umzug perfekt geklappt. Pünktlich waren die MA da, es wurde alles ordentlich gesichert und zügig verladen. Die sehr schweren Teile wurden anstandslos verfrachtet. Die Zustellung am neuen Wohnort erfolge ebenfalls perfekt.”

Der gesamte Umzug verlief reibungslos, schnell und pünktlich. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich, zuverlässig und haben hervorragende Arbeit geleistet. Wir waren rundum zufrieden und können Perfekt Umzüge uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Sollte es noch einmal dazu kommen, dass wir ein Umzugsunternehmen benötigen, werden wir uns sehr gerne wieder an Perfekt Umzüge wenden. Vielen Dank für den tollen Service!”

FAQ

No-parking zone – FAQs

Can't find your question? Call us or send a WhatsApp – we reply quickly, in English.

How far in advance do I need to apply for the zone?
Allow around four weeks. That's the average processing time at the district office according to Berlin's official service portal; there's no fixed Berlin-wide minimum. So ideally book us about four weeks before your move.
When do the signs have to be up?
At least three full days before the move. Only then do owners of cars that were already parked there have to pay the towing costs (Federal Administrative Court, 3 C 25.16). 72 hours isn't enough.
How much does a no-parking zone cost in Berlin?
The authority charges at least €21, depending on scope and duration. On top come the signs, setup and removal, because the district office only issues the order. With us, everything together costs from €89 per address.
Who is responsible?
The road traffic authority of the district office where the zone will be. If your old and new flats are in different districts, you need two applications.
Can I apply for the zone myself?
In principle yes – an informal application is enough. Private individuals can't apply online. In Pankow and Treptow-Köpenick, the districts only accept applications from qualified sign companies. And you'll need a company to put up the signs anyway.
My move is less than four weeks away – what now?
Ask us anyway. Some districts process faster. If it doesn't work out, we plan with a furniture lift, an early start or loading zones – just like for an express move.
What's included in the fixed price?
Everything in the quote: team, vehicle, travel, carrying, transport, insurance and any extras we agreed, such as assembly or a no-parking zone. Nothing gets added on moving day.
