Belgrade to Budapest is about 380 km — four hours, and a studio from €460. Along with Zagreb it is one of the two cheapest international routes we run, and one of the few done comfortably within a single working day.
What the move costs
The price depends on how much there is, how many days of packing are needed, the floor at each address, and any extras. Indicative starting prices:
| Home | Volume | From |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bedroom, up to 30 m² | up to 8 m³ | €460 |
| Two-bedroom, 30–50 m² | 10–15 m³ | €550 |
| Three-bedroom, 50–80 m² | 15–20 m³ | €690 |
| Four-bedroom or house, 80 m²+ | 20 m³+ | €1,000 |
These are starting prices, calculated per kilometre driven. A full service with movers, packing and reassembly runs at €1.5–1.9 per kilometre; groupage is charged by the space your load takes up. For an exact figure call +381 66 50-40-30-9.

The road and the border

About Budapest
Budapest moves are mostly work and study — the city has become a regular destination for people from Vojvodina in particular. Deliveries go across both Buda and Pest, with Szeged, Kecskemét and Győr on the same runs.
Practical notes
Which side of the river your address is on changes the job. Pest is flat, gridded and easy for a vehicle; Buda climbs, and the streets on the hill are narrow, winding and often one-way, with older blocks whose lifts will not take furniture. Add to that the courtyard buildings on the Pest side, where the carriage gate rather than the street is the narrowest point. Tell us the district and the floor and we will tell you what the vehicle can do.
