Furniture Transport Service - Safe & Reliable Delivery

Need to transport furniture between two addresses in the Netherlands? MoverMate provides an affordable furniture transport service with a van + driver at €49 per hour, fuel calculated separately. Whether you are moving a sofa across town, delivering a bed frame to a new apartment, or transporting a desk between cities — we handle it quickly, carefully, and at a predictable cost.

This is not a full relocation service. It is focused, efficient transport for specific pieces of furniture. No packing crews, no hourly minimums beyond 1.5 hours, no complicated contracts. Just a van, a driver, and your furniture delivered from A to B.

Furniture transport is a distinct service from a full house move. You are not relocating an entire household — you are moving one or several specific items between addresses.

Common examples:

A sofa purchased from a private seller — you bought it online, it does not fit in your car, and you need it delivered to your apartment.

A bed frame for a new room — you are furnishing a student room or spare bedroom and need a bed transported from one address to another.

A desk or dining table — too large for a regular car, too heavy to carry alone, but not enough to justify hiring a traditional moving company.

A wardrobe, bookshelf, or chest of drawers — bulky items that need a van with enough height and floor space.

Furniture being moved between your own addresses — redecorating, downsizing, or redistributing furniture between a home and a storage unit, second home, or family member's address.

Office furniture — a desk, chair, and monitor setup being moved between home offices or workplaces.

In all of these cases, the job is the same: load the item into the van, drive it to the destination, unload it. That is exactly what MoverMate's van + driver service does.

1. You send us the details. Pickup address, destination address, description of the item(s), preferred date and time. Via WhatsApp (+31648852148) or the contact form.

2. We reply with an estimate. Based on the size and number of items, the distance, and expected loading time. Clear number, no hidden fees.

3. You confirm. No deposit required. No commitment until you say yes.

4. The driver arrives. A clean, spacious moving van pulls up at the pickup address at the agreed time.

5. We load. The driver loads the furniture into the van. Items should be accessible — at the entrance, in the garage, or in a ground-floor room. Disassembled items (bed frames, tables with removable legs) load faster.

6. We drive. Direct transport to the destination address.

7. We unload. The driver unloads the furniture at the destination entrance.

What is not included: furniture assembly or disassembly, packing or wrapping, carrying items through building interiors (hallways, stairwells), or storage. This is a transport-focused service. You prepare the item for transport — we move it.

The rate is €49 per hour for the van and driver. Fuel is calculated separately based on the driving distance.

Single item, same city: typically 1–1.5 hours (loading, driving, unloading). Time cost: €49–€73.50, plus fuel ≈ €8–€14. Total: approximately €57–€88.

Multiple items, same city: typically 1.5–2 hours. Time cost: €73.50–€98, plus fuel ≈ €8–€15. Total: approximately €81–€113.

Furniture transport between cities (e.g. Amsterdam → Rotterdam, Den Haag → Utrecht): typically 2–2.5 hours. Time cost: €98–€122.50, plus fuel ≈ €15–€30. Total: approximately €113–€153.

Longer distance (e.g. Amsterdam → Eindhoven, Rotterdam → Zwolle): typically 3–4 hours. Time cost: €147–€196, plus fuel ≈ €30–€55. Total: approximately €177–€251.

The biggest cost variable is loading time. A disassembled bed frame stacked at the door loads in minutes. A fully assembled wardrobe on the third floor takes significantly longer. Preparation is the most effective way to keep costs low.

A common alternative to a furniture transport service is renting a van and doing it yourself. Here is how the two options compare in practice:

Van rental in the Netherlands typically costs €50–€90 per day, before fuel, deposit (often €200–€500), and insurance. You drive, you load, you unload. You need a licence for a larger van. If the item is heavy, you need a friend. If parking is difficult, you figure it out yourself. And you return the van on time or pay overage fees.

A van + driver at €49/hour includes the van, the driver, and the loading and unloading. No deposit, no insurance hassle, no return deadline. The driver knows how to load furniture efficiently and navigate urban streets. For a single item or a few pieces, the total cost is often comparable to van rental — but without the effort.

For people who move furniture regularly (e.g. secondhand dealers, small businesses), van rental may make sense. For a one-off furniture transport, a van + driver is almost always the simpler and more practical option.

Our van has the capacity to handle most standard furniture items. Common items we transport:

Living room: sofas (2-seater, 3-seater, corner units), coffee tables, TV units, bookcases, armchairs, side tables

Bedroom: bed frames (single, double, queen, king — disassembled), mattresses, wardrobes, dressers, nightstands

Dining: dining tables, sets of chairs, benches, buffet cabinets

Office: desks, office chairs, monitor stands, filing cabinets, small shelving units

Miscellaneous: bicycles, appliances (washing machines, dryers, refrigerators within van capacity), plant pots, mirrors, rolled carpets

Items we do not transport: pianos, safes, items exceeding the van's loading capacity (check with us if unsure), hazardous materials, or items requiring specialist handling equipment (cranes, external lifts).

If you are unsure whether your item fits, send a photo via WhatsApp and we confirm.

Furniture transport is available between any two addresses in the Netherlands. Whether the pickup and destination are in the same city or in different provinces, the same service and pricing structure apply.

Same hourly rate. No intercity surcharges. Fuel on actual distance.

Good preparation is the difference between a fast, affordable move and a slow, expensive one. Here is how to get your furniture ready:

Disassemble what you can. Bed frames, desks with removable legs, tables, shelving units. Keep screws and bolts in a labelled bag taped to the frame. Disassembled items load significantly faster and fit more efficiently in the van.

Remove drawers and shelves. Take drawers out of dressers and chests. Remove adjustable shelves from bookcases. Wrap glass shelves separately.

Protect fragile surfaces. Wrap glass tops, mirrors, and polished surfaces in blankets, towels, or bubble wrap. The driver handles items carefully, but protection against scratches during loading is your responsibility.

Move items to the ground floor or entrance. The van loads from the street. The closer your furniture is to the van, the faster loading goes and the less time you pay for.

Clear the path. Ensure hallways, doorways, and stairwells (if applicable) are clear of obstacles. Measure doorframes if you are unsure whether a sofa or wardrobe will fit through.

Communicate dimensions. If you have an unusually large item (e.g. an L-shaped sofa, a king-size bed frame, an 8-person dining table), share the dimensions when booking so we can confirm it fits in the van.
