Den Haag to Amsterdam Moving Service — Man with Van

MoverMate moves people from Den Haag to Amsterdam for €49 per hour, van and driver included, with transport costs calculated separately on the actual distance. A furnished room on this route usually runs 2.5 to 3 hours , so around € 122.5€ to €147 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 about 60 kilometres up the A4 — under an hour outside peak. But the drive is the easy part of this particular move, and that is what makes the route unusual. Most intercity moves have one difficult end and one straightforward one. This one has two. Den Haag's older districts are narrow, kerb space is tight, and several streets need a permit for a van. Amsterdam is the same or worse. You can end up applying to two different gemeentes for the same afternoon.

That is worth knowing before you book, not on the morning. If you are moving within one city, see moving service Den Haag or moving service Amsterdam. For the wider network, see the intercity moving service.

Check both streets if they are in Binnenstad. If yes, then a permit is required or if done before 11 morning, a permit is not required. Your landlord, the building manager or the gemeente website will tell you whether a permit is needed.

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 €122.5 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 €171.5 to €196, excluding transport.

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

Send both postcodes and floors on WhatsApp and we will give you the real number rather than a range.

People leaving the institutional sector for the commercial one. The clearest pattern on this route. Den Haag runs on ministries, courts, NGOs and embassies; Amsterdam runs on finance, tech, media and agencies. A move from one to the other is usually a deliberate career pivot rather than a relocation, and it tends to come with a fixed start date.

People who studied in Den Haag and want the bigger city. Graduates of The Hague University and Leiden's Den Haag campus following the jobs and the nightlife north.

Couples where one job moved. One partner's employer is in Amsterdam, the other commutes back — the household relocates to split the difference badly in one direction.

Internationals moving between postings. People who arrived in Den Haag for an international organisation and are moving to a private-sector role. Everything on our side runs in English.

People who have had enough of commuting. The reverse of the section above — having tried it, they would rather have the hour back.

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, and we run it often. Southbound is a distinct crowd: people leaving Amsterdam for more space, families priced out of the centre, and a steady flow of people moving toward the coast.

Since we are based in Den Haag, southbound moves do have one small advantage — the moving quote is cheaper compared to other moving companies. Send both addresses on WhatsApp and we will price it either way.

Send a WhatsApp message to +31 6 48 85 21 48 with: your Den Haag address including the floor and whether there is a lift, your Amsterdam address with the same detail, roughly what you are moving, your preferred date, and whether either street needs a loading permit.

We reply with availability, a realistic 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.
