Moving between Hungary and Serbia — KOMBI-KOMBI international movers

Hungary is the cheapest international move we make. Budapest is 380 km from Belgrade — four hours, crossing at Horgoš–Röszke or Kelebija–Tompa — and Szeged is barely two hours away. A good part of this traffic is students moving to and from the universities in Budapest.

Why move with KOMBI-KOMBI

  • 13+ years on the Hungary – Serbia route
  • A fixed price written into the contract (CMR), with cover against breakage, theft and road accidents
  • Door to door — packing, dismantling, transport, reassembly and customs paperwork

Cities we move from and to

The Serbian minority in Hungary lives mainly in Budapest, Szentendre, Pomaz, Szeged and Pécs, and we serve the whole country.

What to plan for

  • Short enough for a single day. Szeged is two hours away and Budapest four, so loading and delivery normally happen on the same day and you pay for one day of work rather than two.
  • Motorway the whole way. The E75 runs from Belgrade to the Horgoš–Röszke crossing and on to Budapest, which makes timings predictable.
  • Student moves. A bed, a desk, a wardrobe and a dozen boxes is the most common load on this route, and groupage costs a fraction of a dedicated van.
  • Budapest parking. In the inner districts stopping in front of the building has to be arranged in advance; we sort that out before the vehicle arrives.

How the move works

  1. A free survey and a fixed quote — over the phone, by Viber or WhatsApp, or from photographs of your belongings
  2. Packing, dismantling and loading on the agreed date
  3. Transport and customs — our team handles the paperwork at the border
  4. Delivery, reassembly and unpacking at the new address

Hungary – 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:

FromToDistanceTimeFrom
BelgradeBudapest380 km~4hfrom €460
BelgradeSzeged180 km~2hfrom €220
Novi SadBudapest300 km~4hfrom €620

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.

Paperwork and customs

Hungary 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 (the lakcímkártya or the de-registration document) and your passport. The quickest crossing is Horgoš–Röszke on the E75, with Kelebija–Tompa as the alternative.

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.
