We are happy to support you with your relocation abroad

Are you planning a relocation abroad? Umzugsservice Zürich GmbH is your reliable partner for a smooth relocation within Europe. Whether you want to move privately or for business – as a qualified moving company with decades of experience, we offer you professional moving planning and execution. We take care of all the practical and organizational work for you, including transporting your goods and handling all the necessary formalities such as customs certificates and permits. Whether you are moving your company headquarters abroad or relocating for personal reasons – we are there for you and will ensure a stress-free relocation.

We require the following documents for your relocation from Switzerland to another country:

  • Copy of the applicant’s identity card (ID or passport)
  • Authorization of the applicant for customs clearance
  • Copy of the employment contract (not mandatory)
  • Confirmation of deregistration from previous place of residence in Switzerland
  • Confirmation of registration of new residence in Germany
  • Inventory list of the relocation goods

If you want to move from Switzerland to a neighboring country, you may need the following documents:

  • Identity card or passport: You need a valid identity card or passport to enter a neighboring country.
  • Residence permit: If you want to live in a neighboring country for a longer period of time, you may need a residence permit.
  • Work permit: If you want to work in a neighboring country, you may need a work permit or a special certificate of freedom of movement for workers.
  • Registration certificate: If you move to a neighboring country, you may have to register with the authorities and submit a registration certificate.
  • Health insurance: Make sure that you have health insurance that is valid in your new country of residence.
  • Driving license: If you own a car and want to take it with you to your new country of residence, you may need an international driving license.
  • Tax documents: Make sure you have prepared all the necessary tax documents and know how to pay taxes in your new country of residence.

There is much more to consider when moving abroad

Our well thought-out planning and coordinated processes save you time and therefore money.

This means you always receive and pay for exactly the services you need.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions to our moving company.

Do you offer apartment viewings and are they free of charge?2024-06-14T06:50:39+02:00

Yes, we offer free, no-obligation home viewings to accurately assess the scope of your relocation and provide a precise quote based on this. These viewings usually last between 15 and 20 minutes and can be arranged from Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 18:00. For those who prefer a flexible alternative, we also offer the option of sending us videos or pictures via WhatsApp or email, based on which we can also provide a quote. To arrange a viewing or for more information, please contact us by phone or via the inquiry form on our website.

Do you offer special packaging materials? Even for particularly sensitive items?2024-06-14T07:43:15+02:00

We offer packing materials for all types of items, including moving and clothing boxes, packaging for fragile items and protective materials such as cushioning material, bubble wrap and stretch film. These materials are available for purchase or hire, depending on your needs.

Advantages of renting:
Convenience of returning after use, saves space and promotes environmental protection.
The materials are used but in good condition. Advantages of buying:
Brand new materials and suitable for reuse at your own discretion. We offer a full service including delivery and collection of packaging materials. Return of unused materials is possible on moving day, with appropriate credit. Visit our removals store (LINK) for more information and to select suitable packing materials.

How do you protect my furniture and personal belongings during transportation?2024-06-14T06:53:11+02:00

All furniture is thoroughly wrapped in stretch film and, if necessary, additionally covered with woolen blankets. These measures serve not only to protect your items from damage during transportation and in the van, but also from dirt. We also use additional padding material for particularly sensitive or valuable items. To further increase safety and prevent items from slipping during the journey, we also secure the items in the van with lashing straps to prevent them from rubbing against each other.

How far in advance should I plan my relocation and do you have the capacity?2024-06-14T06:53:41+02:00

Ideally, plan your relocation 4-6 weeks in advance to ensure the availability and organization of the necessary resources. Depending on our capacities, we also offer short-term removals at no extra charge to meet urgent needs.

How is the price for my relocation calculated?2024-06-14T06:51:00+02:00

The price for your relocation is based on the scope of the relocation, the distance between the locations, the parking distance to the building entrance, the floor, the availability of elevators and the required working time. Additional services such as a furniture lift or packing materials can also affect the total price.

How is the quotation preparation process structured and can I make changes and requests afterwards?2024-06-14T06:50:14+02:00

The quotation process begins with your request via our web form, where building information and contact details are required. Upon receipt, we will contact you for a personal or digital inspection. Based on this, we will prepare a quote. Changes or additional requests are possible, but early notification is important for smooth planning.

Is furniture assembly included in the service and how much does it cost?2024-06-14T06:51:34+02:00

The disassembly and assembly of your furniture is included in our moving service at no extra cost. These services are already included in the hourly price of our moving service. Billing is transparent and based on the actual time spent. Our qualified assembly staff, who are part of every moving team, guarantee that all assembly work is carried out professionally and carefully in accordance with your requirements.

Is there a charge for canceling or rescheduling an appointment?2024-06-14T06:54:05+02:00

Cancellations or postponements may be subject to a charge depending on the time of the change and the preparations already made. As a rule, however, we accept order cancellations in a customer-oriented manner and at no cost.

What happens if something is damaged during the relocation? Are my goods insured?2024-06-14T06:52:44+02:00

In the event of damage during the relocation, your goods are insured with cover of up to CHF 100,000 per moving van and public liability insurance of CHF 5 million. This offers protection against damage to your goods or persons. Damage should be reported immediately after delivery and submitted to us in writing within three days. As a rule, our removal staff will record the damage themselves and take down all the important information for the claims settlement. Depending on the situation, we will then organize either the repair of the damaged item or compensation at the current value.

For detailed information on our insurance conditions and how to proceed in the event of a claim, please contact us directly or consult our General Terms and Conditions (GTC).

What payment methods do you offer? When does the payment take place?2024-06-14T06:52:14+02:00

We accept payments by credit card, debit card, TWINT and cash. The conditions are defined in the contract, whereby advance payment and payment by invoice are possible on request. Payment is usually made directly after completion of the order and is processed by the team leader against receipt.
