Belgrade to Essen is about 1,580 km, with a studio from €1,900. Essen sits in the middle of the Ruhr, so a move here usually means one run covering several towns — the neighbours are twenty minutes apart and we deliver to all of them.
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 | €1,900 |
| Two-bedroom, 30–50 m² | 10–15 m³ | €2,260 |
| Three-bedroom, 50–80 m² | 15–20 m³ | €2,830 |
| Four-bedroom or house, 80 m²+ | 20 m³+ | €3,560 |
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
Hungary and Austria, then north-west on the A3 through Frankfurt and Cologne and into the Ruhr on the A40. The A40 through Essen is one of the busiest stretches of road in Germany and stands still twice a day, so the delivery hour is set around it rather than in spite of it.

About Essen
Deliveries go across Altendorf, Katernberg, Steele and Rüttenscheid, and on the same runs to Mülheim, Oberhausen, Gelsenkirchen, Bottrop and Duisburg — the Ruhr towns run into one another and a single trip normally covers several.
Practical notes
Because the towns here sit so close together, we often load or deliver at more than one address on the same trip — a flat in Essen and a garage in Oberhausen, or two families splitting a vehicle. That is worth saying when you ask for a price, because it changes the plan and usually the figure. Otherwise the practicalities are the Ruhr's usual: the green Umweltplakette for the low-emission zone, a Halteverbot for the space at the door, and old workers' housing where the stairwell decides whether a furniture lift is needed.
