Sofia is one of the shortest runs into the EU we make — about 330 km down the E80 motorway through Niš. Most of this traffic is students, people working in the technology sector, and families relocating for work.

What to plan for
- Motorway the whole way to Sofia. The E80 runs through Niš to the Gradina–Kalotina crossing; from Niš the drive is barely two hours.
- Same-day delivery. For Sofia the move is comfortably done in a day, which keeps the cost close to a domestic long-distance move.
- The Black Sea coast is further. Varna and Burgas are eight to nine hours away, so those are overnight jobs.
- Student and single-room loads. Common on this route, and much cheaper on groupage than in a dedicated van.
How the move works
- A free survey and a fixed quote — over the phone, by Viber or WhatsApp, or from photographs of your belongings
- Packing, dismantling and loading on the agreed date
- Transport and customs — our team handles the paperwork at the border
- Delivery, reassembly and unpacking at the new address
Bulgaria – Serbia moving costs in 2026
The price depends on the volume of your belongings (m³), the distance to the city, the floor and whether there is a lift, and on extras such as packing, storage or dismantling. The table below shows indicative prices for a full van of up to 12 m³, which suits a flat of 40–60 m²:
| From | To | Distance | Time | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Belgrade | Sofia | 330 km | ~4.5h | from €400 |
| Niš | Sofia | 170 km | ~2h | from €300 |
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 rather than by distance. For an exact quote call +381 66 50-40-30-9 or send photographs of your belongings over Viber or WhatsApp. Full price list: moving prices.
Paperwork and customs
Bulgaria is in the EU and in the Schengen area; Serbia is in neither, so a customs procedure applies in both directions. For a change of residence you will need an inventory of your belongings, proof of residence registration or de-registration, and your passport.
Moving into the EU falls under the rules on the transfer of normal residence: personal belongings may enter free of duty and VAT where the conditions are met, typically that you have owned and used them for at least six months. Relief from duty is not the same as the absence of a procedure — we prepare the inventory and handle the border.
Packing and protecting your furniture
We use proper packing materials and give fragile items — glass, pictures, musical instruments — extra protection with cardboard corners and furniture blankets.
Groupage transport
For smaller consignments — a few boxes, a handful of furniture items, parcels — you share the van with other customers and pay only for the space you use. See how groupage transport works and when the next departures are.
