Cities we move from and to

What to plan for

  • Two days of driving. At around 1,900 km through Germany, the transport takes two days with the driver's rest periods built in. Loading and delivery dates are agreed in advance.
  • Canal houses and narrow stairs. In Amsterdam and the older parts of Dutch cities, staircases are famously steep and narrow. Where furniture will not go up or down them, an external furniture lift through the window is the usual solution, and we arrange it in advance.
  • Stopping in front of the building. City centres often require a permit to park a van on the street. We tell you what is needed for your address before the move.
  • Bicycles and small loads. A lot of what moves on this route is a single room's worth of belongings, which is cheaper on groupage than in a dedicated van.

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

the Netherlands – 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
BelgradeAmsterdam1,900 km~19hfrom €2,280
BelgradeRotterdam1,950 km~19hfrom €2,340

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

The Netherlands 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 registration with the municipality or of 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.

Specialist services

  • VIP moves for clients who need discretion and a tighter schedule
  • Specialist loads — pianos, safes, works of art
  • A full door-to-door service, with everything handled for you
  • Storage in our climate-controlled warehouse in Belgrade
  • Office and business relocations

All of these are described on the services page.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a move between the Netherlands and Serbia take?

Eighteen to twenty hours of driving, so the transport is a two-day job. With packing and loading, the whole move usually runs three to four days.

What does a move from Amsterdam to Belgrade cost?

A full van of up to 12 m³ starts at €2,280, Rotterdam at €2,340. Smaller loads are considerably cheaper on groupage.

My staircase is very narrow — what then?

Common in Dutch buildings. Where furniture will not fit, we use an external lift through the window, and we agree that before the move rather than on the day.

What documents do I need?

An inventory of your belongings, proof of residence and your passport. We prepare the inventory and clear the border for you.

Is my furniture insured in transit?

Yes. Every consignment is covered against breakage, theft and road accidents, and you get a CMR contract.
