Rotterdam is a harbour city, and you notice it as soon as you start planning a move. The centre was rebuilt after the war with wide streets and tall buildings, while districts such as Delfshaven and Kralingen still have older, narrower streets. Each type of building brings its own access questions for a moving van.
We are based in Oostzaan, north of Amsterdam, and we do not have an office or crew in Rotterdam. What we do offer is a regular intercity route: the Amsterdam to Rotterdam run is a move we plan often, whether you are leaving Amsterdam, arriving in it, or relocating within the Rotterdam region.
Our two padded vans, a VW Crafter and a Ford Transit, suit studios, flats and small family homes, plus furniture, appliances and boxes for businesses. Tell us on WhatsApp about floors, lifts and parking, and we will turn your estimate into a fixed price quote.

We disassemble wardrobes and beds before they enter lifts and stairwells, then assemble them again at your new address.
English and Dutch support
Whether you are an expat arriving at the port or a local changing districts, our team speaks both languages and replies quickly.
Moving in Rotterdam by district
Rotterdam moves differ a lot between districts, so here is what we usually plan around in each.
Centrum
Wide streets and tall buildings rebuilt after the war. Many flats have lifts, but loading zones can be busy near Coolsingel and the Markthal, so we plan arrival times carefully.
Kralingen
A mix of student flats, family houses and older terraced streets near the Kralingse Plas. Steep stairs are common, and parking is tight around the university area.
Delfshaven
A historic harbour district with narrow canal-side streets and older buildings. Doorways and staircases can be tight, so disassembling large furniture is often necessary.
Kop van Zuid
Modern high-rise towers around the Wilhelminapier and Erasmus Bridge. Lifts are the norm, but you may need to reserve one in advance with your building manager.
Charlois
A southern district with many post-war flats, often four or five floors with stairs only. Knowing the floor number and whether there is a lift helps us plan the crew properly.
Hillegersberg-Schiebroek
A greener north-eastern area with semi-detached homes and quieter streets. Parking is usually easier, so moves tend to be more about the volume of furniture than access.
Noord
Neighbourhoods like Oude Noorden and Blijdorp have older tenement-style buildings with steep, narrow stairs. Large items may need to be disassembled before they come down.
Prins Alexander
A large eastern district of family homes and apartment blocks, including Ommoord and Nesselande. Access is generally straightforward, with parking close to the front door.
Practical tips for moving in Rotterdam
Ask your municipality about parking
For busy central streets, ask your municipality (gemeente) about a parking reservation or permit for the moving van. Do this well before the move, as arrangements can take time.
Reserve the building lift
In towers and larger apartment blocks, the lift often needs to be reserved. Ask your building manager or housing association before moving day and share the time slot with us.
Measure before you book
Check doorway widths, stairwells and the lift cabin against your largest items. Tell us about anything bulky, and we will confirm whether it fits our vans comfortably.
Plan around the Amsterdam route
If you are moving between Amsterdam and Rotterdam, book a clear day. Evenings and weekends work well, but request a slot early because availability tightens.
Pack the day before
Moving day is faster when boxes are closed, labelled and stacked near the door. If you are short on time, ask us about packing and unpacking.
