What we handle
Full-service household moves, office and business relocations, furniture assembly/disassembly, packing service, kitchen installation, and — if your street requires it — arranging a temporary no-parking zone (Halteverbotszone) for the moving truck. All of this can be combined into a single fixed-price quote.
How to get a quote
Our online quote form is currently in German, but you're welcome to fill it out with the help of a translator, or simply contact us directly by phone or WhatsApp and describe your move in English — we'll prepare the written quote for you either way. You can also get an instant, no-obligation cost estimate using our online moving cost calculator (also in German, but self-explanatory: enter distance, number of rooms, and floors).
Relocation agencies
We work with relocation agencies supporting international employees moving to the Frankfurt/Rhein-Main and Taunus area, acting as a reliable local execution partner for the physical move. If you're a relocation consultant looking for a moving partner in this region, please get in touch.
Areas we cover
Wetzlar, Gießen, Marburg, and the wider Mittelhessen region, plus the Frankfurt-adjacent Taunus towns: Eschborn, Bad Homburg, Oberursel, Kronberg im Taunus, Königstein im Taunus, Friedrichsdorf, Steinbach, Schmitten, and Usingen. Not listed? Just ask — we regularly serve locations beyond this list.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to sign anything in German?
The written quote and any contract documents are in German, as required for German business transactions, but we're happy to walk you through the key terms by phone before you sign anything.
Can you move me directly from the airport-side storage or a temporary apartment?
Yes. Many relocating employees start in temporary housing before moving into a permanent home — we're used to two-address moves and short-notice bookings.
Do you provide packing materials, or do I need to buy my own?
Packing materials (boxes, wrapping paper) are included as a flat item in every quote. If you'd like us to pack for you as well, that's available as an add-on.
How far in advance should I book?
For a standard move, a week or two of notice is usually enough. For long-distance or larger office relocations, we recommend contacting us as early as possible once your move-in date is confirmed.
