Tips for choosing a professional
Request a detailed quote
A good quote includes details on: number of workers, truck size, insurance, disassembly and reassembly, and estimated time. Be wary of excessively low prices — they often don't include everything.
Verify contents insurance
Check that the company has third-party insurance and contents insurance. Ask to see the policy and pay attention to the coverage amount and exclusions.
Read reviews and check experience
Look for a company with at least 3 years of experience. Read genuine reviews and ask for phone numbers of previous clients for verification.
Coordinate accessibility at both locations
Ensure there is truck access, freight elevator (if available), and parking permits. In new buildings, coordination with building management may be required.
Document furniture condition
Photograph furniture and electrical appliances before the move. In case of damage, documentation will help you receive compensation from insurance.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to move an apartment?
The cost of moving a 3-4 room apartment ranges from ₪1,500 to ₪4,000, depending on distance, floor (with or without an elevator), quantity of furniture, and the need for disassembly and reassembly. Moving within the same city is cheaper than inter-city moving.
Is the moving company responsible for damages?
A professional moving company should offer contents insurance. Check in advance what the insurance covers, the deductible amount, and document the condition of your furniture before the move. It's recommended to get the insurance terms in writing.
How long before the move should I book movers?
It is recommended to book at least 2-3 weeks in advance, and during peak seasons (summer, end of month) even a month in advance. Early booking ensures availability and a better price.
What does a professional moving service include?
A full service includes: packing contents, disassembling furniture, loading, transportation, unloading, reassembling, and basic arrangement. Some companies also offer temporary storage services and professional packing of fragile items.
How do I prepare for a move?
Pack small items in labeled boxes, clear pathways in the apartment, separate valuable items for personal carrying, ensure there is parking space for the truck at both locations, and coordinate an exact arrival time with the movers.
