Belgrade to Timișoara is about 160 km — three hours including the border, with a studio from €300. It is the second shortest international route we run, and for northern Banat it is the natural city rather than a foreign one.
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 | €300 |
| Two-bedroom, 30–50 m² | 10–15 m³ | €360 |
| Three-bedroom, 50–80 m² | 15–20 m³ | €450 |
| Four-bedroom or house, 80 m²+ | 20 m³+ | €600 |
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
East through Pančevo and Vršac to the Vatin crossing, then half an hour across the plain. The driving is under two hours; the border is what turns it into three, and at weekends it can be longer.

About Timișoara
Timișoara is a university and IT city with a long-standing Serbian minority in the Banat, so this route runs steadily in both directions. Arad, Lugoj and the Banat villages are on the same runs.
Practical notes
At 160 km the road is trivial and the crossing is the whole question. Vatin is quieter than Horgoš but keeps shorter hours and can queue at weekends, so we book midweek mornings where the dates allow. Because the route is so short, a dedicated vehicle costs little more than a part load and gives a fixed time — on this one it is usually the better choice. Timișoara's centre has some restricted streets around the historic squares; elsewhere the vehicle reaches the door.
