Costs are calculated in detail for each step and there are no undeclared charges whichever company will make the transfer.
Every small breakdown in the transport process is made according to your personal preference and there is total flexibility in the size of the movers and the carrier.
Our goal is to facilitate the transportation process and manage it professionally, saving time, effort and the burden of the subject, through a large list of our contracting partners from transport and cleaning companies.
What are the transportation costs with a specialized company?
There is no general answer to this question, as the amount of transportation costs depends on many different factors:
- Distance between old and new apartment
- Volume of transport
- Old/new apartment (with or without an elevator)
- Time required for unwinding and installation (such as wooden cabinets)
- Special services (e.g. installation of electrical appliances)
- Cleaning services
Prices may vary according to the required date, available companies and pre-booking.
The cost of moving a medium-sized apartment is usually between AED 500 and AED 2,000.
In order to obtain an actual and realistic estimate of transportation costs, please specify the dates and plan the transfer process by filling in the special request to provide us with the most information through the site, we will send it to our partners and get the best offer and communicate with you to complete the process in the best and fastest way.
What additional costs should you calculate?
Whether you are transporting individually or through the carrier, you should be alert to several costs you will face during the transfer.
Insurance Amount
In the United Arab Emirates, an insurance amount must be deposited for the landlord, from which any damage to the property will be deducted within the period agreed upon after the expiration of the contract. So you should have a reserve amount for this point.
Commission
Commission fees are usually one month of annual rental value. It is paid once no matter how long the contract lasts.
Refurbishment/cleaning costs:
Before receiving the property you must ensure the quality of certain items in the property such as electrical connections, plumbing and conditioning.
In the event of any need to renew any of the preceding clauses, this shall be included in the contract and its cost shall be determined by any party to the contract. Cleaning costs should also be considered before transportation.
Registration of address
Moving within the UAE involves registering with the Resident Registration Office. Currently, many administrative procedures can be completed online. The Resident Registration Office will contact you if there is any additional fee to change your place of residence.
Buy New Furniture
Relocation to a new place is often accompanied by the purchase of some pieces of furniture, especially in the case of moving to a smaller place as some pieces of furniture are likely not to fit into the new dwelling because of their dimensions. This point should therefore be included in the transport budget.
Transfer day costs
Even with the best planning methods sometimes show other unaccounted expenses, so we recommend adding an additional margin of 0.2 of the final calculation.
Calculate online transportation costs using Youmove
There is no need to make traditional comparisons, compare the items and details of each company separately and engage in inaccurate estimation of the transport currency, with Youmove all you have to provide us with information and we will on your behalf get the best offer from our partners as soon as possible.
“The price is fixed” and there are no hidden charges and the price is not changed during the transfer process, and you do not have to worry about the time because the cost of the hourly transport is not determined.
Using Youmove’s transfer calculator, you’ll save yourself the bother of many offers, because you can calculate transportation costs in 6 simple steps:
Step 1: Road Information – Select Start and Destination
The previous address and the new address must be submitted on the application form’s homepage.
The distance between the two addresses is used to calculate expenses; the farther apart the addresses, the higher the costs will be.
Step 2: Building Information – Apartment Space and Floor Number
More details about your former and new residences, as well as the anticipated number of transportation boxes that will be moved, are required in the second phase. The height of the floor where the dwelling is located is crucial when determining expenditures, and if an elevator is available for use during transportation, the final estimate is affected.
For instance, flats on the bottom floor are obviously less expensive when compared to apartments on higher floors without elevators.
Regardless of the dimensions of the apartment, whether it is a studio or has multiple rooms, the size of the movers is a significant financial consideration throughout the moving process.
Step 3: Mobile List – What should I choose and use?
Accurate data must be provided in order to assess the transfer’s cost in a correct way. The approximate size of the transfers will be determined with the help of the residence’s information, and information should be attached if the transfer involves unusual, delicate, or breakable items, such as musical instruments—the “piano,” for instance—or large screens and electronic devices that require special handling and instructions.
If the standard box size is chosen and has predefined dimensions, estimating the quantity of boxes will also be very helpful in determining the cost.
You can enter the total number of pieces of furniture in each room in the following step to determine transfer costs:
