Arnhem to Den Haag Moving Service - Man with Van

MoverMate moves people from Arnhem to Den Haag for €49 per hour, van and driver included, with transport costs calculated separately on the actual distance. A studio on this route usually runs 3 to 3.5 hours , so around €147 to €171.50 plus transport. MoverMate is based in Den Haag, NIWO-licensed, and has completed more than 800 moves. Booking runs on WhatsApp in English.

The drive is roughly 120 kilometres — west on the A12 the whole way, past Utrecht and into the Randstad. About an hour and a half outside peak.

What makes this route unlike the others we run is what happens at the two ends rather than in between. Arnhem is the only city in our network with real hills. It sits against the Veluwezoom, and the housing reflects it — streets on gradients, split-level houses, basements, garages cut into slopes. Den Haag is flat, at sea level, and largely without any of that. People moving west routinely discover that the loading problem at home was one they had stopped noticing, and that the flat they are moving into has nowhere to put the things the old house absorbed.

The rate is €49 per hour for the van and driver, with a 1.5-hour minimum of €73.50. Transport is calculated separately on the actual distance and quoted before you confirm.

One room. 2.5 to 3 hours — around €122.50 to €147, excluding transport.

Studio. 3 to 3.5 hours — around €147 to €171.50, excluding transport.

One-bedroom flat. 3.5 to 4 hours — around €171.50 to €196, excluding transport.

There is no intercity surcharge; the hourly rate is the same as it is inside Arnhem. No callout fee, no deposit.

Two things move these figures more than the property size does. A sloped or split-level Arnhem address adds loading time. A Den Haag address in Statenkwartier, the Archipelbuurt or Zeeheldenkwartier adds unloading time, because those streets are narrow with limited kerb space. Send both postcodes and floors on WhatsApp and we will give you a number rather than a range.

Space and outdoor access, mostly, and it is worth saying plainly because it decides what is worth bringing.

Arnhem gives you more square metres for the money than Den Haag does, and usually a garden with them. The same budget in Den Haag generally buys an apartment, often without private outdoor space, and with storage limited to a cupboard and a berging.

What that means in practice: garden furniture is frequently the first thing to go, because a Den Haag balcony takes two chairs rather than a table for six. Large furniture needs measuring against the new doorframes and stairwell before it goes in the van, not after. And the basement contents from the section above generally have no equivalent destination at all.

Against that, Den Haag gives you the coast. Scheveningen and Kijkduin are a tram ride away, which is the trade a lot of people on this route are consciously making — less space, more sea.

People moving into government, policy and international organisations. The clearest pattern. Den Haag holds the ministries, the courts, the OPCW, Europol and a large NGO sector, and they recruit nationally. This route carries a steady flow of people taking a first or second role in that world, usually with a fixed start date.

HAN and ArtEZ graduates. HAN University of Applied Sciences and ArtEZ produce graduates who follow the jobs west — the ArtEZ cohort in particular toward Den Haag's design, cultural and creative sector.

People relocating within an employer. Organisations with offices in both Gelderland and the Randstad move people west more often than east.

Couples where one job moved. Typically a full flat's worth, and the group most likely to be at the limit of one van load.

People heading for the coast. Arnhem is about as far from the sea as the Netherlands gets. A real and frequently stated motivation on this specific route.

For the moving side of a first job, see the apartment moving service.

Yes, at the same €49 hourly rate with no surcharge in either direction. Eastbound is a real part of this route — people leaving the Randstad for more space, families buying rather than renting, and a steady number who want a garden and a forest within cycling distance.

Send a WhatsApp message to +31 6 48 85 21 48 with six things: your Arnhem address including the floor, whether the street is on a slope and whether the house is split-level, your Den Haag address with the floor and whether there is a lift, a rough list of what is coming including the basement and shed, your preferred date, and any fixed key handover time.

That looks like a lot, but it is two minutes of typing and it is the difference between an estimate that holds and one that does not. A walk-through video works just as well if you would rather film it than write it.

We reply with availability, a time estimate and the transport cost, usually within the hour during the day. Nothing is confirmed until you agree, there is no deposit, and cancelling is free.

Two to three weeks is comfortable. A long route books the van for the whole day, so there are fewer slots in any given week, and they go first around the end of the month and through late August.

Arnhem to Den Haag is around 120 km on the A12, roughly an hour and a half of driving. MoverMate charges €49 per hour for a van and driver with a 1.5-hour minimum of €73.50, plus transport, and no intercity surcharge. A room runs about €122.50 to €147, a studio €147 to €171.50, a one-bedroom €171.50 to €196, all excluding transport. Tell us if your Arnhem street is on a slope or the house is split-level — it affects loading time more than anything else on this route. Include the basement, shed and garage in your list; they are often a third of the volume and a Den Haag flat has nowhere to put them. There is only one trip, so decide what is coming before the van arrives. Loading and unloading happen at street level. MoverMate is based in Den Haag, is NIWO-licensed, has completed over 800 moves, works in English, and books on WhatsApp at +31 6 48 85 21 48.
