Furniture transport in Berlin: costs, examples and the process
Not every job is a complete household move. You may need to collect a sofa from a shop, move an inherited wardrobe or transport kitchen units from an old apartment. Individual furniture transport can cost less than a full move. This guide provides Berlin planning prices and explains the questions to ask before booking.
How much does furniture transport in Berlin cost?
We bill individual furniture transport by the hour, from €70/hour for two transport specialists, a truck, blankets and straps. There is no universal flat price per piece: the quote depends on carrying, preparation, assembly and travel time.
| Example | Work involved | Approximate price |
|---|---|---|
| Fridge or washing machine | Around one hour of loading work plus travel | €90–140 |
| Sofa or TV cabinet | One to two hours including carrying | €90–180 |
| Disassembled wardrobe | Disassembly and reassembly, around two to three hours | €160–280 |
| Kitchen units | Half a day to a full day, depending on scope | From €300; confirm transport and installation scope |
| Piano or safe | Special handling; often at least three people | Individual quote required |
These are examples, not guaranteed prices. Floors, dimensions, access, route and installation requirements determine the actual cost.
Furniture taxi or moving company: which is the better fit?
A basic furniture taxi collects and delivers an item. That can be sufficient if it is ready to transport and fits through every doorway. A wardrobe on the third floor of an older Kreuzberg building may need disassembly first. A kitchen may need separate, qualified work for water and electrical connections.
A moving service such as Danilovs TRANSPORT can combine transport with agreed disassembly and reassembly. Ask whether that work is included, how doors and floors are protected and what liability coverage applies if an item is damaged.
Furniture that needs particular care
- Pianos and grand pianos: heavy, delicate and valuable; experience and suitable equipment are essential.
- Marble and glass: tables, mirrors and shower screens need careful padding and handling.
- Kitchen units: much of the work is in dismantling and installation rather than driving; clarify connection work separately.
- Large wardrobes: disassembly can make transport possible through narrow doorways, but dimensions and construction must still be checked.
- Fitness equipment: treadmills and multi-gym machines may need partial disassembly and protection for electronic parts.
Combine separate deliveries to reduce repeated costs
Every visit involves preparation, travel, loading and an access check. Three pieces moved on three different days may repeat those costs three times. Where practical, combine furniture deliveries into one booking to reduce the average cost per item.
If you are planning a full move, tell us about items that need collection before or delivery after the main moving date. We can include those journeys in the plan.
